I Can See the Future

On the way home from school yesterday, A. asked me about how long it would take to get home. They had a television show they were hoping to catch. I said it would probably be two minutes. When we pulled into the driveway, it had been exactly two minutes. A. said, "Mom, you must be a sidekick!" I just kind of looked at him trying to figure out what he was talking about. Then, I heard his sister, M, say, "A, it's psychic--not sidekick. P-S-Y-C-H-I-C." I just had to laugh--how cute was that? Tomorrow, we are headed out of town with a couple car-loads of kids for the twin's birthday party (their actual birthday is Monday, the 17th.). We are taking them all bowling and then off to Cold Stone for ice-cream. They have looked forward to it all week. After we get home, we are all going to another birthday party for one of K's best friends. Sunday, after church, we will be attending Mandalyn's daughter's 1st birthday party. We are one big party family, yes ma'am! But, I am beginning to wonder if everyone was born in September. It certainly seems like it around here. We've enjoyed it. My birthday is tomorrow--the big 3-9. B. took me out to eat tonight--our only opportunity. We had a very nice time--short, but nice. Have a great weekend.

In our family, everyone was born in May. They break the bank for us every year. But it's hard to forget them :)

Don't wear yourself out with all that partying you're up to. But DO indulge in some yummy Cold Stone. That is some seriously delicious ice cream!!

Enjoy your weekend.

Regarding your comment- you may not be used to bears, but I would not know what to make of an armadillo crossing the road. I would still prefer to meet up with an armadillo I think.

How was the twin's party?
