Today was a happy day! It was the day of Tara's Shower. The sun was shining and we were able to spend a glorious afternoon in Tanya's back yard, blessing Tara with gifts and advice (most of it good, some of it questionable! lol)
There was good food and awesome company! Tara enjoyed all her gifts.
I posted some photos on facebook if you are interested.
Thanks Tanya for organizing and thank you guests for coming!
And in a short time there will be wedding! Yahoo!

Oh for a hot fudge sundae!
It all started last Wednesday -- as many good families have done in the past and will do again in the future -- we bribed our 11 year old with a hot fudge sundae from mcdonalds. Even offered double sauce.
That bribe would have worked well but for one thing. The Mcdonald's near us had no hot fudge! Are you kidding me! It is hot outside and there is not hot fudge????
Being the awesome kid that he is - he said maybe another night. He was better about it than me! I was bitter --- I wanted that sundae.
Two nights later - we decided to go for the sundae. And guess what --- yup --- no hot fudge. This time we decided we would go a bit farther a field. We drove to the next Mcdonalds - and ordered 3 hot fudge sundae's, sauce on the top and the bottom. And we were told that Mcdonalds doesnt serve hot fudge sundaes any more. SERIOUSLY?? what the heck? No HOT FUDGE?????
We offered the kid a Frosty from Wendy's and drove down the street to get one. I decided that seeing as I was not getting a hot fudge sundae I would try the new twisted frosty - coffee toffee. Now if you have had a twisted frosty you know that they take either chocolate or vanilla frosty and they swirl it up with some candy or cookie, sort of like a mcflurry or a knock off blizzard.
When we got to the window - the lady handed us a chocolate frosty, two spoons and something that resembled a milk shake that had been sitting out in the sun for an hour or so. Well - after the devastation that the Mcdonalds was no longer serving hot fudge sundaes, I was not in the mood to settle for anything less than what was advertised. So I made Phil stop the car at the front door of the Wendy's and I walked in with the sloppy mess of a dessert and plunked it on the counter. The lady asked me if there was a problem --- oh I bet she was sorry that she asked that!!!! I said yes!!! look at this - this is a twisted frosty? And she said yes -- well I told her was expecting something that I could eat with a spoon, like the m&m one. She offered to make me a new one but it would look the same. I said why would I want that???? Please refund my money. She told me she couldnt do that. I just about jumped the counter. I told her I had ordered a twisted frosty as depicted on their order board and had not received that and I wanted my money back.. I even took down their ad from infront of the till and showed it to her. After asking for my money back a few more times I did get it.
Then we did what we probably should have done in the first place ----- we went to Dairy Queen.
That was on Wednesday --- on Friday I went to a scrapbook retreat. One of the young ladies there ran out to get something from Mcdonalds in Langely. Imagine my utter and total amazement when she came back with a hot fudge sundae!!!!!
Apparently - only Surrey has no Hot Fudge!!!
Today -- my wonderful husband and son brought me a hot fudge sundae ---- you guessed it ---- from DAIRY QUEEN!
