Burpy Hurthday

We had a nice quiet hang around the house with the dogs day. Doug took Dahlia for a long walk, Geoff took Toffee on one, and I started doing a walk inside the house. 

Geoff and I discussed dinner, and we realized I had a little shopping list to assemble so he and Doug would be able to have dinner. I had plans tonight, to go out for fun with Sara, Sean, and Henry. 

I timed things just right to go to the gym, spend some time on the treadmill with the Playlist, get what I needed at the market, and head home to shower. The treadmill and playlist were working for me, and I would have stayed, pushing to 45 minutes if I didn't need to go to the market and all that.

Our outing tonight was for Henry's birthday "month." They try to do fun things every weekend to celebrate him. And I love that they invite me. We met at an escape room where he and four friends were celebrating. Sara asked me to come not just because I'm awesome and we're good friends, but because she needed an extra car to help get everyone from the escape room to the pizza restaurant. 

"We don't have enough seats in my car for everyone. The parents are dropping the kids off at the escape room, and then picking them up later after pizza. So we need to get the kids over to the pizza parlor kind of like the Chicken, Fox, Bag of Grain puzzle."

Personally, I would have asked one of the parents to stick around and ferry the kids with me, but. She asked me. I was happy to help so they didn't have to do yet an extra puzzles. 

I arrived a little late because of weather and traffic. I walked in to them working through a word puzzle where the letters would unlock a combination lock. Victory! CHEERING! Then they were moving on to a math puzzle. 

The kids didn't know me, except Hen, but Sara introduced me and they welcomed me in enthusiastically. I was absolutely pleasantly surprised at how well they worked together. There was sharing of tasks, and discussion about how to solve the thing, and did you want to do this math puzzle because I'm not good at math puzzles. 

Do you want to come unlock the lock because you did all the math work? 
No you go ahead, you're right there!

We didn't escape the room, we fell just short. We were kind of irritated because some of the locks wouldn't unlock or there were supposed to be four coins but only 3 were in the box, different things like that. I think they're going to hear from Sara. She was full of "Strong Letter To Follow" vibes. Bad Yelp review vibes.

I told the kids that it didn't matter if we didn't solve it. No one is taking away our PIZZAAAA!!!!! 

I took a kid and Sean with me in the car, Sara had everyone else. We were seated and ordered. It seemed to take forever for the food to arrive and the kids were getting punchy and loud. Finally the food, and at the end Henry wanted Donuts and not cake because he does not like cake. So I ate a donut in his honor. 

We sang to him, even though he does not like that Happy Birthday song. I know he likes Weird Al and silly things so I changed it to Burpy Hurthday, and the kids loved it and sang it too. Henry's face. He loved it. 

Forever we'll have Burpy Hurthday. 

I left a little after 7, in the pouring rain and pitch dark. I find it so hard to see in the dark when driving and I had tried to get Doug to come with me JUST so he'd drive, but he did not want to. Fair. But I made it, a couple scary maneuvers committed by other people. Glad to get back here and get some wine. Voof. 

I can't believe I didn't even take one picture today. Huh.
