Love those A+ days–they don’t happen often enough! Good for you for making it happen. Give the kids a hug for us!
you sound like such a fun mom. and i know just what you mean about special days being a grump inducer. but years from now they won’t remember being grumpy, but he will probably remember the meatballs.
OMG such a cute pic!!! Love the story, LOL that Bubba day didn’t apply across the board.
Moriah
Ok this is the cutest story ever! You’re a good mama!
Oh my goodness…you have a Bubba too? My Bubba thinks EVERY day is Bubba day. LOL! Sounds like fun! You are a way more fun mom than I.
So was it his birthday or just Bubba day – that’s cute!
love the face!
Holy crap! How could you NOT love a kid that can make a face like that!?!

Brings back memories, my dad used to bring us Cracker Jacks on Valentines Day every year. Love those!

BTW er jack prizes suck now.
It’s a BIG bummer in my life.
I remember one time we were at a Princeton Hockey game and the super-cool college s were eating er jacks in front of me (I was 3 at the time) and they turned-around and gave me the prize. I htink it was a ring or something. I was in heaven. It’s seriously one of my first memories.
I thought that I’d read that Cracker Jacks was doing away with prizes. How RUDE would THAT be!? And as for Kraft Mac & Cheese, my newlywed daughter reminds me on a regular basis that SHE never got KM&C when SHE was little. It’s one of the babes favorites… agent orange and all!
Sophia
Hey, I love cracker jacks!
Funny! Matt loves cracker jacks too! They stick in my teeth! 
and when you’re really good
they call you
cracker jack.
if they call you just cracker – then that is a whole other thing.
kellicrowe
ahhh….cracker jacks! i remember being a kid and dumping the whole box on the table to get the prizes! ha. I used to cover my arms in the tattoos

Have you ever tried running one under water? It’ll scare you – what goes down the drain! We’ve probably bought more cheetos this past summer than in all 28 years of my marriage… the latest craving at our house. BTW, I just heard that they have new white cheddar ones with no preservatives or artificial anything. Cant wait to try them! Have a great night!
Sophia
but they sure are yummy 
blog=less calories
and no orangie residue under my nails

My kids are currently obsessed with Cheetos… I think they are one of the grossest things (they cannot be called food) ever invented! LOL!
I gave Cole a carrot once and he eagerly bit into it because he thought it was a Cheeto. Ha ha!!! Nope. Now he looks warily at his cheetos every time. ; )
LMBO at Jonanna’s comment…my DAD did the same thing as Cole just a few months ago…yup, I’m descended from a long line of junk food junkies 
Ewwwwwwwwwww………..
they are a corn based batter that is dropped into a big vat of oil, fried, and then coated with toxic orange yumminess.
have you tried the baked Cheetoes? they are even better than the regular. cruchy and delicious without the oily film coating the roof of your mouth
some things are better eaten without knowing the ingredients. like hot dogs for instance. atleast cheetos are plant and chemical based.
who cares..they’re so good!
i’m obsessed with CHEETOS! yum. maybe i need to grab some today.
puffed corn with powdered cheese.
Yummy…. who cARES what it is?
YOu are too funny! I have wondered this myself and why the heck kids love them so much and of course they have to be orange so they get everywhere! I think some evil person that didn’t like kids invented these to annoy mommies!
OMG I was totally going to post the hot dog comment & then someone beat me too it! LOL
Hot dogs = GAG-O-RAMA
Cheetos = yummy pieces of fluff
Moriah
man, those sound good right now!
What’s really scary are the flaming hot cheetos – what exactly makes them hot – some chemical burn on your tongue or something?! What amazes me is how many kids I see at Timmy’s school eating them – they had to ban them because there were dyed orange smudges on the wall.

Wow, a bike ride… you’re fancy. I wish we had a bike, and a trailer. Good workout my dear.
We had a bike trailer when our big kids were little and would love to have done that route again with the babes. However, this time around, they are all riding their own already! How awesome that you’ll attempt the race next year! Hopefully, we’ll have better weather for you next time around!! Have a great day!
Sophia
Gee… um, sounds like fun. I get the same bewildered feeling when my brother tells me he’s doing another one of these adventure races and it only took him something like 23 hours to finish it. He turned 45 on the 15th and celebrated by doing a triathalon. I celebrated my birthday by going to a spa.
WOW….. you’re my hero. A bike race? Over several mountains? WOW.
You go girl!!!
PS I had to read your shopping cart thread like 5 times to discover the swear word. You’re a REALLY good girl in my eyes
