Tonight we had a wonderful dinner with Uncle Mike. He picked up dinner from House of Fortune and the kids were delighted to get to spend time with him. whenever Uncle Mike comes Eva has some crazy big plans for him. This time she wanted everyone dressed up in their best clothes. She wanted him in a tie and me, too. We explained that he was relaxing and wearing a tie all week is not too fun. He just wanted to have a nice dinner with us, and so did I. We at least reigned her in a bit. Continue reading Dinner with Uncle Mike→
We had a very nice day celebrating Allison’s birthday. Eva and I picked up some gifts for Allison yesterday and Eva had some elaborate scheme that she wanted to hatch for Allison. Eva had me cut up cucumbers, get lotion and help her with some pampering for Allison. We hung up stars and got out the very special necklace for Allison (it was blue and shaped like an ice cream cone which lit up, great $2 find at Target).
Eva’s plan was so cute. She rubbed a little lotion on Allison’s hands and then put the cucumber slices on her eyes. We gave her her gifts and then got Eva to school.
Today we also got to clear out a ton of baby clothes for girls. My sisters came over and took bag after bag to my Mom’s house to sort for friends who are having babies and to keep some things for themselves including toys and books for my nephew. Our basement is a little less cluttered now. Time to get the rest of it organized. Time to look for shelves so we can start keeping staples.
Tonight we went to our favorite place to celebrate, House of Fortune. We had a great meal there and topped it with a Red Velvet Confusion cupcake from Northworks.
