Oh WOW – are we behind!?!

They say time flies when you’re having fun…must be true as it’s been almost 2 months since we’ve posted anything here. Very sorry about that! Seems I lose track of time since I’m able to keep up with so many of you through facebook.

March brought Tom & Jac’s 8th birthday…8, wow…we hosted sleepovers for each of them (on different nights of course!) & was reminded again of the vast difference between boys & girls – oh my word!!!
Tom’s cake – reminiscent of how they spent most of their evening – was a Wii Remote & Jac’s was two stars featuring the Hannah Montana HM logo. Of course, we also had a family party in there, too…Tom couldn’t believe I actually made a popcorn bucket for their cake!!! (He’s not much of a cake fan, but could eat popcorn EVERY day!!)

April brought us Rob’s birthday & a sleepover with some of his buddies, too. We’ve done this a few years now & it’s so fun to see how they’ve grown & changed from year to year. Once again, he chose donuts instead of a cake for his friend party & was amazed at the likeness between what I thought was a mound of donuts to fit 12 candles & what he saw as Poseidon’s castle – amazing!!

Scheduling snafus meant all the siblings were here, too, but they all did wonderfully together. (whew!) Because of schedules, it actually ended up being April Fool’s Day the morning they awoke…score one for mom! While they were all nay-saying the fake eggs I made them (icing & m&ms) they didn’t even realize the eggs were a set up to distract them from the juice, which was actually jello – priceless!

His birthday actually fell on Easter this year, so we were able to celebrate with the family, minus mom & Gary due to some nasty stomach flu issues we are all glad they kept to themselves! His cake for the family party featured a scene from one of his favorite books of the Percy Jackson series – it was the Empire State Building, Hades triton & the Helm of Darkness…oh the things that boy is teaching me!

Now for the Easter pictures of the kids: Ali slept through me trying to get a shot of the 5 of them together, but then the second they all walked away to get play clothes on, she woke up all smiles – at least we got one with Papa & Linda.

And finally for this installment…Chris & I attended our 13th prom together this month. What a fun time!!
