Eric, Zack, and I spent the afternoon watching some tv and just spending time together! May not be excessively fun, but it is what we like to do! In the evening, we went over to some friends house for dinner and a birthday party. Ended up not getting home until almost 2 in the morning. Its always fun to hang out with friends and I am so excited to be the one hosting the birthday party next weekend!

Today I am on a mission!! I was told about a couple more bakeries in the area, so we are heading out to do some searching for someone willing to make Zack the birthday cake he really wants. I hate to think that my baby boy has to settle for anything!!! Will let you know how it all turns out!!!
SUCCESS!!! We drove over to Fred Meyer to check out their bakery and the girls in there said it would be no problem for them to do Zack's cake!!! All we had to do was get them a picture and they would have it done. Well, after walking all through the store, looking at the toys, clothes, cards, gift wrap... we found not one single Phineas and Ferb item to take to the bakery!!! So all the way home we had to drive to pick up a napkin that I had bought at Walmart! Took it back in and the girl was so nice and said she would personally make Zack's cake for him... He got such a big smile on his face and thanked her!!! After all the trouble I had went through at the other Fred Meyer store here in town, I am so thankful that this store was willing to work with their customers and give us exactly what we want!! Still have lots to do... But it is all worth it to make my little man have the best birthday ever!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACHARY!!!! It is so hard to believe that my Zachary is 8 years old today... The time is just flying by! Given the choice to stay home from school or take cupcakes to his class... he chose the cupcakes... He makes me so proud!!! And when he gets home he tells me that his teacher forgot about the cupcakes so they are going to do them tomorrow... That is too funny!!!
I spent the morning sleeping... had a very rough night last night... I felt sick but also had a sharp pain in my back all night... more like behind my ribs. Did not get any sleep and so I slept today after I got home from dropping Zack off at school. Did make it to the store to pick him up some pizzas for dinner... Zack's choice! And also got him a small cake since today is his birthday... the bigger party with all of our friends is on Saturday! Now to just sit back, relax, and wait for daddy to come home! Maybe I will pull out my massage pad and see if I can get this pain to go away in my back!
Tonight ended up being a very nice night... Eric and Zack spent most of the early evening in the basement unpacking more boxes... Eric was looking for his PS2 games to pack away to take with him overseas... Not liking why he unpacked boxes but glad he got some more done. He also found my exercise peddles, so wasn't a waste of time. Had a quick dinner and ate some cake... Then it was off to bed for Zack... Sorry baby... still have to go to school tomorrow!!

Was a cold one this morning... When I got up it was -12... I'm sure it was colder but I got to sleep in this morning... My loving husband didn't have to be into work until 9, so he got Zack up and off to school... Oh it felt so good to sleep in!!! And I felt so good, I got up and started working around the house. I was able to get the laundry done, sorta ( have to fold it all tomorrow), got the dining room cleaned, dishes and kitchen all done, floors swept and vacuumed! It felt so good to be able to get up and get some much needed work done. I am really hoping I get a good nights sleep tonight as well. Need to go into town tomorrow for an appointment and have to go to the store to figure out what I want to make for dinner. I may get up and look through my cookbook to see if I can find something interesting to make. Then back home to finish up the cleaning I need to do. Only a couple more days until Zack's party and I feel like there is so much to do still.
Today I started a recipe exchange on my email... Hoping to get some good recipes from strangers... I love recipes... I have a mini cookbook collection. I know it is bigger than some people have but to me it is still very small... Can never have too many cookbooks!!
Gonna sign off and see if I can get a good nights sleep again! Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!!!
