Last Thursday (April 15) we celebrated Conner's 5th birthday. We brought a cookie cake to playgroup at Centennial Park. A good time was had by all!
Speaking of his cake, we picked it out Tuesday at the American Cookie Company. When we went in, I told Conner to pick something out while we were looking at the brochure. The first thing he picked out were two checkered racing flags. I vetoed that right away as we are NOT into racing...lol I then steered (no pun intended) him towards the sports selections and he went straight for a football cake. I thought he would go for soccer since that's what he's playing right now, but we were in agreement. Fast forward to the party Thursday. Billy leaves before us so he can go get the cake and get to the park before us to decorate. After he gets the cake, he says it has a soccer ball on it. He said that the girl behind the counter told him that Conner talked about both and she thought he said he wanted a soccer ball...Oh well, the cakes still tasted like a good cookie cake and served the purpose! :)Last Friday, (April 16) Billy and I drove to Houston to see our dear friend Push get married. It was THE best wedding I've been to. Both his and Panna's family were so welcoming and accepting of us. It was the first Indian wedding we had ever been to. Both Push and Panna looked wonderful and so happy!
Conner and Caroline stayed with Billy's mom. We picked them up Sunday when we got back and noticed that Caroline had cut another tooth! I guess she won't have a gummy smile forever now.
The rest of the week has been pretty slow. This Thursday (April 22nd) we took Billy to the airport so he could go to Oregon and go to a class. We left at 4:30 so he could be in Pensacola at the airport at 5:30. The kids and I made stop by Dunkin' Donuts before we came home. Then, for playgroup this week we went to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo in Gulf Shores. After playgroup we ate lunch while riding around and looking at the beach. On our way out of town we went to TCBY and got some yogurt and sorbet. It's an unwritten family rule that if you're leaving Gulf Shores, you must stop by TCBY on your way out of town. If Billy were with us he would have gotten orange sorbet like Conner did and I must get vanilla frozen yogurt. Family Rule.
When we got home Conner wanted to watch one of his movies in his room. When I was leaving his room, he looked at me and said, "Mama, you're heart is in my heart." I looked at him and said, "Thank you! That was sweet. Who told you that?" He looked at me, smiled, and said, "God. He told me to say it." It was the absolute sweetest thing I have ever heard that child say to me. I love him!
