She Surprises Me Yet

My friend’s son was born on my birthday 8 years ago Monday.

As you found out yesterday we had his birthday party at our house last Sunday.

Well I had told my parents/husband I didn’t need anything for my birthday.  I knew it wouldn’t happen, but it was worth a shot.  I really didn’t.

Well my husband had plans of meeting up with my mom on Sunday morning while I was at the house helping Earl decorate a cake.  Tbug was given the option to stay here at the house with me or to go with him.

Truthfully I figured she’d choose to go with her daddy.  It’s generally what she’s always done.  But I guess he didn’t even get the chance to tell her what he was doing, she just blurted out, “I’m staying at the house with mom.”

Wow!

It so looks like she’s cocking a hand gun here… LOL

Then… she was telling us something that her mom said to her.  I don’t remember any part of the conversation or even the word Tbug used, but she looked at Earl and said, you know, the S word.  Of course Earl egged it on and asked her, What’s the S word.  Then she said, “Shhhhhiiiiiiiiii” and looked at me and finished with the ending T sound.  What could I do, Earl egged it on.  I looked at Tbug with a straight face (although I was dying inside) and said, “That’s not really a word you should be saying or have in your vocabulary.”

THEN…..

She made all the icing (with our supervision of course) for the cake.  I pulled out a tub from the fridge from the previous week when I made Earl’s birthday cookie and we decided we’d make that into the grass.  Boy Tbug wanted to dye that green.

Ask her how happy she was with me over this!?!?

I told her I’d let her decorate the grass.  She cracked me up because everywhere she went, she carried that tub of icing.  I kept telling her that we were ready for it but she carried the icing and already had the green food coloring out and ready.

Hubby said it’s probably because she didn’t want to miss out, she wanted me to have to ask for it so she knew when it was time.  I’m not sure how many times I said, not yet.
