Best. Birthday. Ever.

My birthday was last Monday, and my slick husband surprised me with a night away at Hotel Patee in Perry! He arranged for his mom to come stay with the boys, and he wouldn't tell me where we were going until we got there. This hotel is AWESOME!!! We enjoyed a fancy room with whirlpool tub, free bowling in their basement bowling alley (!!), and dinner in their nice restaurant.

Any husbands who are reading this: YOUR WIFE WOULD LOVE A NIGHT IN THIS HOTEL.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

A Most Accommodating Ultimatum

Micah, telling me what he wanted for a snack today:

"I ONLY want graham crackers with milk. Or, if you say no, I'll have something else."

This is a great summation of my day thus far

Eli, to me, after I have gotten completely ready for the day: "You need to brush your hair, Mommy."

Me: "I already brushed it!"

(brief pause as he studies my hair again)

Eli: "But it still looks funny."

Oh, Eli

Eli, giggling at our cat: "He has marbles in his eyes!"

Can You Believe. . .

. . . that it took until TODAY - January 17th - for me to realize that I didn't have a snow scraper in my car?
