Karaoke Anyone?

Chesley was so excited to be led into a restaurant for a birthday supper by her super great friend, Lauren, only to be surprised by a table of her best school friends. It was so much fun to be in on the secret! It was Karaoke night at the Buffalo Grill in Canyon. The owners agreed to set up the karaoke an hour early for our fledgling high schoolers – just one small problem…the college kids decided to get an early start on the weekend and showed up early in the bar….needless to say it made for an interesting night and I am pretty sure that Melissa and I may have to convince a few parents to let their kids attend our next shindig – LOL!

In the end there was no harm done and we had LOTS of laughs. The party was a huge success and the Blackburns did a great job putting it together. I know it made Chesley feel really special.

Thank You Lauren – you are such a sweetie PIE!

(just my opinion...but isn't this a great a group of gals!)

The (Anti)Hallmark

I just love going through my kids backpacks….that is until somewhere near the 3rd or 4th grade and they lose their “cute” appeal. I enjoy pulling out all of the decorated color sheets, the little journal pictures with a couple of sentences to explain the drawing, the dot to dots and the PTA information sheets – I love it all. Just once in a blue moon there is something so good in there that it keeps a smile on my face for days. We received one of those little morsels just last week. Cutter got an Easter card from his school pen pal. It was an elaborate and well made pop-up card that sported a rabbit holding a carrot. Notice the creative lettering that says “HI” like they really meant it. Now, venture down to the hand written sentiment to see that the sender had a less than perfect Easter – LOL! I admire someone who takes a “bad” experience and pretties it up in a pop-up card!Hallmark should take notice.
