Happy Birthday, Daddy!

To celebrate Chuck's 39th birthday, the kids decided to come up with a list of 39 things to buy for Daddy and then send him on a scavenger hunt to find them all. This took a little bit of planning and lot of adding and subtracting and refiguring on numbers to reach the magic 39. The items they finally decided on are as follows:

14 sticks of chewing gum
3 pairs of socks (Mommy's suggestion - Daddy appreciates practicality.)
4 Uniball pens
8 chocolate fudge poptarts with icing (They insisted. I gave in . . . reluctantly.)
3 new tennis balls (Ty's idea.)
1 roll of Necco Wafers (Daddy's absolute favorite candy - why, we're not sure?)
1 new pair of "slipper shoes" (His only request.)
5 gallons of gas in a new red plastic gas tank (My boys are practical too. They knew he needed some to keep their dirtbikes revved and ready to ride!)

I am proud to say that the kids wrote every single one of the clues themselves, and it was so much fun watching Chuck try and decipher them and uncover each of his treasures.

Way to go, Kids! Happy 39th Birthday, Chuck!
