The kids had Spring Break the week of Fred's birthday and this year it landed on a Tuesday. Fred worked while the boys and I went to the beach. Then my friend, Krista, offered to babysit our boys so Fred and I could go out. She's so nice!
A week before his birthday I arranged a surprise birthday party for him and all his work friends. I had the whole thing planned out, everyone was going to come and we were to have it at PF Changs. I told Fred a few days prior to his birthday that I made reservations there for us. He asked why since we were going on a Tuesday then says he'd rather go to Wood Ranch- a BBQ place. He was wanting that more. Then it was this big deal because I didn't know what to do.
I played along and teased him we were going to PF Changs. So, up until he met me at the Irvine Spectrum I had him fooled with absolutely no idea. I was planning on having him decide and say, "Where do you want to go?" and then whatever he said I would just explain that I had to cancel our reservations at PF Changs and have him go in and then everyone would be there.
So, when it came time and I just started walking to PF Changs with him he said, "Oh, so we are going here..." and all I said was, "uhh..." with a smirk. Thats when he said he knew something was up. I idiotic am I to ruin it the last second?!? I had a plan!!! I was SO mad at myself because this is now the second time I've tried to surprise him and I have failed. Whatever. I'm still angry about it.
Anyway, it was super fun. We paid for everyones appetizers but they took a while to get them out so they cut my bill in half. Fine by me!! He had a great time, despite my ruining it. Oh well. Happy Birthday, Fred. I love you.
I gave him an "The Office" game and a "The Office" sign for his office.
