Happy Birthday Paige!

Today is Paige's 34th Birthday!

Celia's post about Paige is really good and I don't think I can compete.


Here are ten reasons I like Paige:


1) She saved my baby's life. Mimi was having a miserable time learning to nurse and Paige brought over a nipple shield that helped Mims latch on and finally eat. I will never forget that.

2) Her kids are louder than yours. If you bring Paige and Co. along, you can pretty much count on an event. She's a travelling party.

3) Paige has self control. She exercises EVERY DAY and manages to take naps and get her kids where they need to go. She is a scheduler and very organized with her time.

4) Paige will help you. She is my sister wife because we live close enough, but we're moving even closer and I can only imagine the babysitting trading that is going to happen. I'm excited.
5) Paige is generous. She has a lot and she gives freely. You can eat her food, she'll buy you stuff, and pay for your treats. She doesn't mind and she never keeps tabs.


6) Last year Paige had a not-so-good birthday. It was memorable because it was the saddest birthday ever. Jeff bailed on Paige and nobody planned a birthday dinner for her and I don't think she got any good presents. Tonight she has big plans at Flemmings. I am invited. 7) Paige has no internal monologue. She says what she thinks and it is much meaner and more funny than what you were thinking. You wish you had said it yourself, but you aren't that brave.


8) Paige can sneak in anywhere. Please see previous post: What Would Paige Do?


9) Paige has been a lot of places and done a lot of things. She is very accomplished, but never brags about all that fabulous places she's been. I should learn from her.


10) Paige has a lot of friends, blog and otherwise. They go on fun girl weekends and I am jealous.



Happy Birthday to Paige. I hope you get everything that you want. What DO you want? I still need to get you a present.

Oh oh oh they are all so good I might die. I'll fix your background.

I agree with everything you said about Paige. I love how she says things that you wish you had said. And she is direct and honest, thank goodness, or I probably never ever would have let my oldest cry it out and he'd be a 5-year-old still waking up 5 times a night.

That was so sweet. I guess we all need to be more like Paige.

Love that picture of Paige holding Mimi. That must have been the cutest newborn EVER! Hey, and Regis and Kelly are having a cutest baby contest. Enter please.

Oh, and Happy Birthday again to Paige. You sisters are so much fun.

The thing that I love about all of these birthday tributes to Paige is that, while hilarious, they really showcase what a giving person she is. You Green-bomb (as Paige calls all of you) sisters are so wonderful.

I can't even think of anything witty to say because I am so touched by all of the family tributes.

I love learning all about Paige! You are a good sister.

Ohmygosh, that so sums it up! The thing is, nobody else but her could get away with it. It must be the nose.

That was a really sweet post. Aren't sister's great?!

So who's moving? I'm guessing you, Nor. Do tell.

Alex said...

Nor you are lucky to have so many cool sisters. And especially lucky to have them live close by!

Very well written tribute to Paige, it's right on and now we all know her better!
