SURPRISE MOM!

sidenote ****The cute little blond girl waved at me today as my son was getting on the bus. She has never waved at me before. It almost made me think, "Does she read my blog?" LOL. Then after my son got on the bus, and sat next to her of course, they both waved at me together as the bus drove off!****


So, I never shared the story about my sis coming to town and surprising my mom....

Originally my sis and her fam were supposed to come to town for Christmas. But the Arctic Blast around here prevented them from coming since they were driving from Vegas. We all resolved that it just wasn't going to happen. A couple days after Christmas my sis calls and says, "I think we might come! Like we are gonna get in the car and come now!" WOW! So we agreed that we would keep it a surprise from my folks. We stayed in touch every couple hours as they made the long drive. About 4 hours before they got here she called my dad and let him in on it. We all got to my folks house at about the same time. My mom was out shopping with a friend. When she came home I told her my kids were hiding from her in her bedroom. I had already given my sis the camera and my kids along with her whole fam were in the bedroom. Needless to say....my mom was COMPLETELY SURPRISED!!

CLASSIC!!!

  4. Shan, I hope you don't have to become a 5th grader again. Getting boobies and punching cute boys is the name of the game and I'm OVER it...I'll stick to the academics. Fun to see your momma's surprise. I'm glad I got to hear all about Kim's almost not adventure and finally adventure as she called and texted me in Hawaii...glad it all worked out!
