The past week...

So, this might just be a rambling on type of blog but if I don't do it this way it probably just won't happen and I know you miss me. :) First of all, apologies if you can't see the previous post pics. I thought maybe bc it says "share these photos with people not on facebook"...I kinda assumed it meant that people not on facebook would actually be able to see them...hmmm. Whatever, it was kind of a cop out lazy blog anyway, hehe.

I hope everyone had a great mothers day. Mine was fabulous. The kids didn't sleep in for me, but they were in good moods. The weather was decent, a little windy but if you were in the sun all was good. We packed a picnic and Tim joined us for a trip to the park. We hit a new park just north of us which my friend Meghan told me about and it was fun. It should be really cool this summer bc it had a really great new spashpad there. So, if you live in indy or come to visit let's definitely plan some splash park playdates. Free wet fun is always good!!

We also celebrated Tim's birthday last week. I got some cute pics of him with the kids which I will post later. The kids did alot of the planning, Lucas kept letting Tim know that his birthday was coming soon and he informed me that Tim really wanted a Scooby Doo cake. (Not really sure that idea really came from Tim, but I was willing to go with it). I was trying to tell Lucas that daddy likes icecream cake from DQ in lieu of regular cake, and maybe DQ would have a scooby doo option. They didn't, so Lucas wanted to try and make daddy a Scooby Doo cake in addittion to the ice cream cake bc "Mommy, you have to have a cake and that is only icecream". So we looked for something ScoobyDoo to put on a cake but no luck there either. Lucas did spot some Robot/Monster sprinkles though and thought those would do...bc Scooby Doo and Shaggy chase monsters and robots. And to be honest, the "robot sprinkles" were essentially black, green and blue sprinkles which for some reason they sell better when having a robot on the outside...of course! The kids also picked out there own presents for daddy which is kinda a tradition that we started a few years ago. I got the idea from my friend Steph and it is alot of fun to see what the kids actually pick out for "mommy and daddy"...(which is essentially stuff they think is cool and that they would think we think is cool too...or just stuff they want and might be willing to share with us at times). So needless to say Tim got Legos, special pink playdoh and bubbles for his birthday. He loved it! He also got a couple movies and a book that I had actually bought him for Christmas but that I had hid in a "secret spot" (that even I could not find until last month when cleaning out the closet). So wahla! Birthday presents! Does anyone else ever do secret hiding spot thing or is it just me??

In regards to everything else to ramble about I will save it for another day. Excited for this coming weekend, traveling to kokotown and then my old HS stomping grounds. Should catch up with alot of different people (and being kidless will make it a nice quiet car ride as well).
