Happy Birthday ala 9 Iron!

Today is Alison's 24th birthday. She spent the night at our house last night after she got off work due to the winter storm. She has definitely gotten used to her night shift and is used to sleeping in as was evidenced when Lucas and Eli realized she was downstairs sleeping and decided they should wish her Happy Birthday!

Alison shall we say is not a morning person. She was woken up by the boys screaming in their usual fashion "Ate Alison - Happy Birthday!" When she pried her eyes open it was to see Lucas and Eli grinning at her but what really got her excited was the part where Eli had discovered a set of golf clubs prior to reaching her bedroom and was standing over her with club in hand. Now I'm sure waking up from a dead sleep to see someone standing over you with a golf club is not the way most people are expecting to wake on their birthday (unless you're related to Tiger Woods).

If I'd only known during Alison's high school years that the way to motivate her out of bed was with a combination "Good Morning" and a 9 iron, getting up for school would have moved much faster!
