Fabulous & Forty

Happy Birthday to Becky!

I've spent the last five years pointing out that this day was coming. Now it has finally arrived and we definitely had to celebrate. I don't think she knows I have this picture on my computer. I think she looks darling.

We had a great group of friends over for dinner, cake (a very warm cake when lit), gifts (some were pretty funny), great conversation, and lots of laughs.

I think Becky had a good time, and I know the rest of us did. This night was proof positive that Becky is loved by all!

Happy Birthday my dear friend.

You're the Best!

Breakfast at McDonald's

Today's the Day!

~Only one of my top five days of the year~

!!!April Fools Day!!!!

This year my aim was out on the kids. Layne gets off easy this year, unless I come up with something great in the next several hours.

This morning I woke the kids up for school and asked them if they'd like to "eat breakfast at McDonald's"?

YES! Was the answer.

We pulled in and I parked. I asked them to wait for a minute and I got out and got in the back of the van. When I came back to the doors I started handing out cereal bowls & spoons, handed Todd the jug of milk, showed them their several options of cereal, and even offered everyone a banana.

The look on all of their faces was Priceless! Todd was down right mad. Mitch and Judd thought it was way cool and asked if they could still get a 'breakfast soda' (I said no), & Josie said that she was a little surprised I hadn't done anything earlier that morning and figured I must have forgotten.

(Forgotten April Fools Day?! Um, NO!)
