Just before we left there was one heck of a storm which started east of us. Apparently they had some hail of 3 inches. We had huge winds and rain all of a sudden, which lasted about ten minutes, and then like someone flicked a switch it stopped and the sun came out. The streets were pretty much flooded but drained well.
Off we went then, met Sister Maureen, and she dropped us at the kids house. Today is Erika's birthday she is thirty four. Katie and I took a carrot cake which we had decorated with birthday wishes and Erika's name. We also had a card in Spanish, we always get someone in the stores who speak English and Spanish to translate the card for us so that we are saying what we want to say. That always works well.
The kids had these eggs with thin shells that are full of confetti and they just crack it over your head so the confetti goes all over. It really should be an outdoor event, but they were doing it inside. There were lots of eggs.
At first only Karelly was home from school, then Erika went to get Livy. While she was gone Katie swept the tile floor, but as soon as Livy came home, she went crazy with the eggs on Katie, Erika, and me. Katie said "so glad I swept the floor". There was confetti all over.
We had some tacos with guacamole, they were good.
Again we had lots of fun with the kids, until Sister Maureen came to pick us up.
There was a bit of a lineup at the border, but we got through with no problem.
Katie and I came home, had supper and watched most of the 2nd period and the 3rd period of the Jets game. They always have trouble with Montreal, but not tonight. Pavlec played very well again and I have to give him credit. Our recent additions were excellent again, and big Buff was back after injury and scored the first goal.
and so ends another great day in the Valley!
