It's been a little bit since I posted last. I'm just gong to tell you it's because I have no life and really nothing to blog about, until now. Well okay not really even now, but I have a few pictures, so I am going to blog. Deal with it.
First up, my new birthday board. My mom saw these at Porter's and thought it would be fun to make them. So she cut the wood and we made some. I did it to match my M&M theme kitchen. Are you feeling it, can't you just taste it? Whatever.
Second, Sunday Jason took us on an "adventure". If you read my blog you know what that means....well take that back, you never know what that means. This time we went to pick asparagus. Yeah, who knew that it grew in the "barrow pit" (for all of you Idahoans) aka ditch, aka, side of the road.
The boys loved getting out and hunting for them. Really they just like to see if they can spot field mice, snakes and throw sticks in the canals. Boys!! They were very tasty though, the asparagus, not the boys!
Last Twin Falls Idaho Public Library got a grant, so they brought in author Brandon Mull. Dillon is like his #1 fan. He has read all of his books Fablehaven, Candy Shop Wars, and Beyonders. Dillon's awesome mom (that's me FYI) got all four kids down there early so we could have seats, and stayed for the presentation he did. Then I stood in line for like ever, so that Dillon could get his books signed, and picture taken with him. Jason came halfway through standing in line, so I left him to deal with the crowds and took the other three kids home. Anyway this is the picture of the momentous occasion.

These are ALL totally post worthy. For heaven's sake I posted about a bush growing!
The birthday board is very cute... just imagine, one day you'll have grandbaby m and Ms hanging off of there.
Did the kids eat the asparagus they found? I love that stuff! And am a tad jealous too. (:
Don't know of Dillon's author, but it sounds like a momentous occasion. You are a great mom getting there early and getting the good seats.
Thank you for posting!!
I love your birthday board it is sooo cute and really handy...and it is soo awesome that Dillon is such a reader and that he totally knows who is favorite author...you are such a good momma to take all 4 kids with you to stand in line. because believe me I know the sacrifice that is. I wish my kids liked reading more...I keep thinking it will come but I don't know so far they barely know that the author is the person that writes the book. :)
Definitely post worthy! Love the M&M birthday board very cute. Who knew asparagus grew on the side of the road--well Jason I guess. How tasty! And boys will be boys for sure. How cool for Dillon to meet his fav author. No wonder he is such a smarty since he reads so much. Very nice post!
