#6

Number 6 of my Thursday 13 was totally true. I did make some one's day today and here she is.

Kate and I took Emma after school. She chose to go to Taco Casa. We ate and chatted. Emma is very entertaining and filled us in on all sorts of things. Afterwards, we took Emma home and she showed us every single thing in her room and took us on a tour of her house. I think that Kate and I had as much fun as Emma did.

forgot to blog

I just uploaded pics from my digi-cam and realized that I totally forgot to make this blog post on Tuesday. It is a picture of me with my "I voted" sticker. It was such a pleasurable experience going to vote this year! No lines- No waiting. Whoo- Hoo!

the one about Meghan and the jawbreakers

Tonight, Meghan and I are packing our packages for our adopted soldiers. Meghan's soldier Isaiah asked for candy to give the children in Iraq. Well- stingy Meghan stole all of the jawbreakers for herself. It was so funny. So- sorry children of Iraq-- No jawbreakers for you!
On another note, my soldier Les is getting everything I bought for him- I stole nothing from his package. However, I must confess in a moment of weakness- I ate a piece of candy from Isaiah's box last night.

blog-test

I am having a blog contest!!! I have been collecting my change all year long. The contest is to see who can guess how much change is in this container. For a point of reference this is the classic batter bowl from The Pampered Chef and there is approximately 8 cups of change in the bowl. The change weighs 11 lbs. Guess in the comment section. You may guess as many times as you wish over the next week. I will anounce the amount and the winner next Sunday. I will have a fun prize for the person closest to the actual amount- without going over. Happy guessing.

Block Party

Tonight was the first ever block party for our neighborhood. We had a great time planning it- and have been excited about it for weeks. The big truck rolled in at 3- and that is when the fun began with the big inflatable bouncy thing. We catered in barbecue. I was in charge of the kids table- I put out prize boxes for all of the kids, we brought in chick-fil-a kids meals, and had a cookie decorating station. Perhaps my favorite scene that I created for the night was the smore making station.
We took our outdoor fireplace to the party and everyone had fun making smores. It was perfect weather and a fun night- plus, I got to jump on the bouncy thing for a while- whoo- hoo!!!

revision of previous blog post

So--- at around 9:40 tonight I am catching up with Tiffani on the phone. We were talking about our blogs and suddenly it hit me that I did my Thursday 13-- on FRIDAY!!! I don't know what I was thinking- I even said to Paul and Meghan that I had to hurry up and publish my Thursday 13 before midnight- and no one told me it was Friday at the time! So- enjoy the craziness that is my life- and know I now know what day it is. Thanks Tiff!
