The Thompson Family

Don't spoil the covert operation... Nora doesn't know it is her birthday today. We are celebrating a month late (on October 13th), due mostly to the Salesforce.com Dreamforce conference that Dell attends each year, but no worries, she doesn't know the difference... she still doesn't have the months/days thing down yet. I bet we wouldn't be able to pull the wool over her eyes if this was her sixth birthday!

We have had a nice mellow hang-around-the-house day. We have been organizing closets, doing laundry, and kitchen cleaning. The birthday girl watched a few episodes pf Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Wow Wow Wubzzy, and some Power Puff Girls.

The high point was watching an old Star Trek together... the impetus for the vintage tee in the photo. That tee was Dell's when he was a little kid, and Mama T passed it on to us. Nora still isn't quite big enough for it, but she's getting close!

When we dropped Dell off at Dreamforce this afternoon, Nora fell asleep in the back of the car with a My Little Pony coloring book on her lap. She is having a great birthday, even though she doesn't know it is a special day. But when you are five, every day is a special day, right?
