Crochet Me Crazy

ME! Yesterday was my birthday! Jeff went to the store with a list on Saturday night so we wouldn't have to go grocery shopping on Sunday. We used the day to move the RV to another camp site. The kids really did surprise me for the first time though. Jeff took Alison to the stables to feed her goat before we got started with the moving process. They stayed gone a long time...I couldn't believe they were taking so long. They finally got back and I asked what took them so long. They said Michael caught a skunk in his trap and Alison was working with Princess a little bit. I really was slightly annoyed that we were getting started moving so late. Jeff had a little problems getting the slides in and we found out the RV battery is bad so he had to hook the RVup to the car with jumper cables. Michael started feeling bad....achey and nose running and started dragging around. I gave him some cold medicine with Tylenol. He started feeling better. We didn't really finish moving everything over until 8:30 or 9:00 last night. Jeff was outside puttering around until after 10:00. We found out that the TV connection doesn't work in this site that we picked out. They will probably fix it pretty soon. We don't really care that much though...we don't really watch it much anyway. Anyway, we were all in agreement that we like the site we moved into a lot better. It is more private and surrounded by trees. The plan was to put the Christmas Tree up last night too but we didn't make it that far. Anyway, once we were moved in, and the day was pretty much over, the kids surprised me and came out of the RV with a cake with 40 candles on it. Michael did the decorating.


I was so surprised because I couldn't figure out how and when they had made it! Then, the story came out about how they had tried to go over the community room the night before to bake it but people were in there. They tried to go and use the oven again in the community room that morning but there were people already using the oven. So when they went to feed Alison's show goat, they baked the cake while they were up there and that is why it took them so long. They left it in the refrigerator at the stables to cool. I asked them how she got it home. She said she snuck it in the car when I took her back up to the stables that night to feed her goat! Wow! I happened to be on the phone with my sister, so I was distracted otherwise I don't think she would've gotten away with that! LOL Anyway, my sweet little Alison planned all that herself and Jeff said she had been sneaking away to buy the stuff with her own money when we were in town buying groceries. Alison bought me a "Slap Chop".
