Today was a busy Friday - Melissa was off of work so we decided we were having a mom's day - it was supposed to start at story time at the library (but I got there to find an empty parking lot which told me there was no story time - usually the parking lot is a mad house) so we transferred our fun to the mall play land and lunch in the food court. I think kids think that if you have lunch in the food court you get a free ride on the carousel because Noah was all over that. I have never taken Brooklyn on it but I think we just started something - she loved it (not to sure at first but loved it in the end) - she is so cute, Bailey went on it with her and was required to stand right beside her. Even Isabella took a horse.
From there we headed to the fish store to get a gift for my dad for his birthday that night. For some reason his fish keep dying off and saltwater is not cheap so when we set ours up we found out that it is very important to keep your tank a certain tempature so not to stress the fish out and the more live rock you have the better off you system will run therefore, me and my sister decided to get my dad some live rock (he has everything so it's hard to think of gift ideas) - it's not cheap so we got him 4 big pieces in a styrofoam cooler - fun huh. Hopefully there will be some cool things that pop up on the rock.
That night we headed to Red Robin in Grapevine and I convinced Melissa and the kids to go with us (David out of town for the weekend) - and she practically has the kids calling my parents grandma and grandpa (which they love - the more the merrier right?). This is where we met Matt's new love interest (they have been dating for about a month) - super cute girl and she has two kids one of which came with her - cute little girl too. Blane gave him the thumbs up as did the rest of us. This is also where Carrie and I debuted our infamous rainbow cakes and they were a big hit - very moist and yummy frosting. Dad thought it would be funny to put a little on the kids noses so it started something and before it was all said and done they all had it on their faces - cute dad. I don't think he ever picked which one he liked best out loud - but I know it was MINE - sorry Carrie - you can try again Monday night - heehee!

Wish I was as creative as you are with gifts! Looks like Grandpa had a good time.. wish we were there!

Rick is like your dad now. He is really really hard to shop for. I think from now on Rick is just getting homemade coupons.. "this coupon is good for one: Julie finding the lost remote for you."
