The Birthday Potty

August is one of the busier birthday months in our family. This year, my sister-in-law, Annie, turned 40 on August 5. I was trying to think of a fun way to wish her Happy Birthday when I remembered this story about her birthday a few years ago. Then I knew...she needed a Birthday Potty! I thought through a few options, most of them not really feasible...like delivering an "Andy Gump" to her yard or putting 40 toilets on the lawn...but I finally settled on this...a smaller porta-potty, balloons, and a sign on her front porch.




The next week was my birthday...I came home in the afternoon to my own Birthday Potty! My birthday potty was filled with treats, including my own potty hat! (If you don't know about the potty hats, refer to the link above!) When I called Annie to thank her she told me she wanted a picture of me in my potty hat, so I had to oblige!



After dinner, I decided that Jocelyn needed a potty hat too, so we took a picture together!


Jordan's birthday was three days after mine, but no Birthday Potty for him! He did, however, enjoy several dinners out as we tried to make up for the next couple of years of not celebrating birthdays with him...maybe next year he WILL get a potty hat!!!
