Happy Birthday, Mom!
Yesterday was my mom's birthday. Over the weekend I decided on a whim to try to get home to surprise her. I had several plans for this week, though, and didn't know how to make it happen. But a dinner party got postponed, which freed up one evening, and I was able to postpone a playdate as well, which gave me a couple of free days. I checked with my dad to make sure they didn't have plans (they didn't), and he was in charge of making sure she was home when we arrived.
Monday afternoon we drove up and walked to the back door, which was locked. I have a key to their house, so I worked on getting the right key, but before I could, my mom opened the door. The blank, stunned look on her face was priceless. She didn't say anything so I said, "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" She was completely shocked and thrilled to see Rachel and me. One of the first things out of her mouth was, "So THAT'S why your dad mopped the floor and cleaned the bathroom last night!"
Hooray! We pulled it off! We've had a fun visit helping to make her birthday more special. We're driving back home this afternoon.
(And no, this post has nothing to do with going up in a hot air balloon....I just liked the picture!)

That's so sweet!! What fun!
So when you feel up to it, can we have a potty update? I'm dying of curiosity!
