Today is my 40th birthday! Went to a spin class with Melanie and lifted weights.
I put corn starch in my hair before waking the kids up so my hair would look like it had gone grey over night. They thought it was funny. I remember my dad doing that for his 40th birthday. There are a lot of things about birthdays I don't remember, but the corn starch at age 40, that I remember.
I told my kids they should carry on the tradition when they're 40. I held onto a package of corn starch I used for something 9 years ago because I planned to use it when I turned 40. I said I would give the package to Canyon when he was 39, he could pass it down to Eli, then he could pass it down to Elsa. Eli said, "But what if I turn 40 first?" We looked at him funny and he realized that was impossible. Good times! |
