Last month, March, was Josiah's 10th birthday and Jeff's 30th. We asked Josiah where he would like to eat for his birthday and he told us Taco Bell. Easy. He had a few friends over, played some games and had Taco Bell. :) I also made him a lemonade cake with sour skittles on top, another request of his. He is such an easy kid and usually so happy. These two requests of his made him the happiest 10 year old that day! :) Jeff is much more difficult...just kidding. :) I planned a surprise birthday party for him this year, and did it a week late so that one, he would be surprised, and two so that some friends of ours from Florida could make it. On his actual birthday we went out to dinner with the kids, which bombed b/c we left to late and so all the restaurants were too full. So we ended up eating at Hibachi Express. Yeah. I didn't even make him a cake b/c he usually shares with Josiah and plus I was planning oh getting him one for his surprise party in a week, so that added to Hibachi Express made for a lousy 30th. I.Felt.Awful. *shaking head* I so wanted to tell him that I'm actually a good wife and I have a wonderful party planned for you, you just have to wait one week! But I couldn't. So poor Jeff was in a very sad mood all week. A few days before his surprise party he finally admitted to me that he was hoping for more of a celebration for his party, it is a mile stone. I just had to tell him sorry and I would do better in the future. So, finally the day of his party rolls around, thank God, and the cooking and decorating begin while he is at work. A friend of ours has Jeff come over right after work to help "work on his truck". At 7 pm I call Jeff with a plumbing emergency and so he comes home to 40 people standing in his garage! :) Then he gets a second surprise when he walks into our kitchen and sees his two friends from Florida standing there. It was great! :) Oh, and he got a cake! :) Baskin Robbins, chocolate chip cake just in case you are wondering. Jeff had a great 30th and he now knows that I'm not an awful wife! ;)
So this month we (Jeff really), bought a motorcycle. Somehow I thought it would save us money, but so far I was completely wrong. *shaking head again* But he loves it and hopefully down the road we will start to see savings from gas. It is a Dukati if any of you out there care to know that. :)
Today I made laundry soap (I know you are wondering why that was in my title). I got the recipe from the Duggar book I read. It was super easy to make and I hope it does well cleaning our clothes b/c it will be a real saver on money. Right now the 5 gallons of it is sitting in my kitchen sink b/c its to heavy for me to lift out. Silly me. But I have a strong husband who can lift it out soon and put it in the laundry room where it belongs. :) I will let you know how much we like it and if its worth it.
Jeff built me a raised garden this month. I cannot wait to plant my veggies! It is 12x3, if you are wondering. I plan on planting tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, strawberries, and carrots. I was also thinking about garlic. We shall see. I will get pictures and post 'em!
So that's what we've been up to, basically. :) Happy Wednesday!
