Every time we get out of town, or have company, I really slack on blogging. Sorry! I was on vacation -physically & mentally. Last weekend we drove the kids to Las Vegas to visit my Parents. It was the biggest family gathering/reunion that I can remember. The occasion - my dad's 60th birthday! And of course everyone else that was born in the year ending in 8. We had my cousins daughter born in 08, my brother in 78, my cousin's son in 98, my dad & his friend from Germany in 48, my uncle & another friend 38, & my grandmother in 1918. Not sure if I missed someone. I'm sure I'll hear back if I did. I think we all had a blast. I know I did. Lots of family, fun & food. It was a real quick trip though - arriving on Friday & leaving Tuesday. I already want to go back again & actually get in some sightseeing. The Hoover Dam, the Lake, some shows. Right now, I'm just recovering from all the partying & getting back into the daily grind. Mom & dad - we had a great trip, thanks for everything, (including the corrections)! See you soon!

April Fool's Day!
I’m not one to tell jokes well & I can’t even lie w/ a straight face. Yesterday someone at work got me good. A single friend/coworker told me she was moving & putting her 2 week notice in on Monday. It was completely believable & I was bummed. One of the few people at work I confide in was leaving! April Fools. When someone plays a joke on you, you just want to go out & get someone else!
K has dance class on Tuesdays, so I leave work & pick her up. Although yesterday I called daddy to ask where he was – he picked up Bubs & was just about home. Well, would he mind getting K? I was stuck at work & I wouldn’t be able to pick her up in time. What was the big deal? Well – the Mets game was on & he says “I’m trying to watch the game!” April Fools! I had to sneak that in fast before he got mad. I got him & yes, I would go pick up K.
After I picked her up, I asked her if they talked about April Fool’s Day at school. And if anyone had played a joke on her. She said a boy told her inside the classroom that there was a ladybug on her shoulder. He said "April Fool's" but she said she didn't believe him anyway because they were inside! And then she asked me if we had a whoopie cushion. Now how does a 5 year old find out about that!? They read a book about April Fools at school & she wanted to play a joke on her dad & brother. Sorry, no whoopie cushion in our house - I'll have to think about that one.
