Three for One Special
Friday was the big day. No, I’m not talking about the last day of school or the release of The Incredible Hulk at a theater near you. Friday was the big birthday. As some of you know, my wife and two oldest kids were all born on June 13th. Three birthdays in one day. The Little Princess turned eight, Spiderboy turned five, and my wife still claims to be twenty something.
Normally my wife becomes insane, spends a million dollars, and throws a big birthday party. But this year she only spent half a million dollars and skipped the big party. Apparently, there’s a law prohibiting birthday parties on Friday the Thirteenth. Failure to obey the Friday the Thirteenth law will cause kids to act like demons. Right. Like my kids don’t already terrorize me every second of the day.
Instead of a big party, we took the kids to the zoo, then out to dinner, and finally back home for ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery. If it was up to me, I would have skipped directly to the ice cream cake. Yum. We actually have another surprise for the kids later this month (more on this later). The kids will flip when they find out. I’m excited too and I’m not sure how much longer I can keep the surprise a secret. If I wasn’t scared of my wife, I would have already told the kids.
Spiderboy turns five
He’s five, but he still looks goofy
Most zoos have real animals like lions, tigers, and panda bears. But not our zoo. Our zoo is filled with man-eating dinosaurs. Why have real animals when you can have robotic creatures? The T-Rex scared the Little Monkey big time. The T-Rex was very menacing when it opened its mouth, flashed its fangs, and roared like the T-Rex in the Jurassic Park movies. There must have been a bass speaker somewhere because you could feel it roaring. Very impressive. That’s why I’m going to the animal shelter and adopt my very own T-Rex. And I’m going to name it Tweety.
This is the T-Rex that scared our Little Monkey
What happened to the “Don’t Feed the Animals” sign?

Three birthdays at the same time? How cool is that! :D!
Hubby and I are only 2 weeks away from each other’s birthday. I suggested that we can have one birthday together. :) He loved the idea.
Friday the 13th or not—it’s still a great birthday. Belated Happy b-day to your kids and wife. :)
It’s cool unless you’re the Little Monkey. She wants to know why she didn’t get any presents.
Yes, I am, once again, sleepless in the city and reading blogs. Hubby’s snoring is keeping me awake, so here I am, reading your blog. Sigh.
Sounds like a nice birthday celebration, but what the heck is up with your zoo?! Flesh eating dinosaurs?! Sheesh.
I’m wondering the same thing. Our zoo has dinos, but not a single lion. Real animals does not seem to be a priority.
Man eating dinos! Wow!
Happy Birthday to most of your family. How did you work that out?
Great pics!
We were lucky to escape with our lives. Luckily, my son and I have super powers and the dinosaurs were no match for us.
Happy birthday to everyone! That sounds like a great birthday to me. The zoo? Cool. Maybe the fact that there was no party was also your Father’s Day gift?
True. This year we didn’t have to clean-up on Father’s Day. Instead, we spent the day at the in-laws.
You are one of the funniest Daddy bloggers I know, DF. I love coming to visit, because I love cheek cramps (from smiling). Have a great week (and don’t forget to burn off that Coldstone!! yum)
It took us three days to finish it off. Something tells me it’ll take longer than three days to burn it off. Maybe I should just buy bigger pants.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
That should cover it. What fun! I’d feel left out if I were a family member who did NOT get a June 13 birthday.
That’s how the Little Monkey feels. She thinks its her birthday too and wants presents too.
WOW!!!! three in one day, that is pretty special and I might add, darn clever of your wife to deliver 2 outta 3 on her own birthday! …. I can’t wait to hear what the ’surprise’ is!!!!
Yeah, but she couldn’t do it three times in a row. Now I have to remember another birthday.
Wow! Three birthdays at once…awesome. Looks like it was a great day for everyone…..Happy belated birthday to them all.
Fun for everyone except for the dinosaur was being eaten by another dinosaur.
What a fun way to spend a multi-birth-day! I loved the picture share, they sure grow fast don’t they?
Hugs,
Holly
So true. In another 10 years, the Little Princess will be off to college.
Happy Birthday ! looks like you guy’s had a wonderful day….
I so want to hear the surprize…I have a few suggestions ?
1.Your wife is pregnant.
2. You are moving to Australia.
3. You finally hired a painter, but got so annoyed at the end cost that you buried the body under the house…
Am I close?…..LMAO
D X
You’re close. Our pregnant painter is moving to Australia and the dead body is on our roof.
Hey if you’ve got that other half mil lying around, could ya spare some change? Your wife might not even notice the money is missing… :)
Happy bday to all 3 of them!
Sure, I’ll send you the other half million. We have so much cash underneath the mattress, I’m sure the wife won’t notice the money is missing.
Hi there! Thanks for dropping by my website too. :D
See ya soon there again! :D
P.S. your kids are really adorable!
I’ve been there before. I was just too lazy to create an account to leave a comment.
Happy Birthday! Friday 13 is not bad luck of any days! 13 is good luck number.. well if you’re Chinese! hehehehehe
I didn’t know 13 is a good luck number for Chinese. No wonder we have three birthdays on that day.
Happy birthday to all! The cake looks amazing and I think the T-Rex might have scared me too. Not Tweety though, cause I know Tweety will be a sweet T-Rex.
wow, three bdays on one day..and all geminis so that really makes it 6 birthdays in one day ;)
great pictures!
wow, happy birthday to all of you! :D
Cold Stone.. mmmmm
Awwww … happy birthday to all of them. That was really sweet.
What a fun birthday! I’m glad the dinosaurs didn’t eat you.
Okay, that is cool and all but that would stress me out. My hubby’s bday is dec 15th, my son’s is dec 17th and then there’s xmas and all and I’m broke just thinking about it!
oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAYS all around!! Coldstone rules.
