There is a new page below Shane's Birthday. Because I had saved it as a draft but started it before, it was placed down there. Read it and enjoy.

Happy 30th Shane!!!

Shane is officially OLD right along with me. He just had his 30th and seems to be adjusting well. He was gone on his actual Birthday (pretending to be young still and playing in the Gus Macker) so the kids and I made him dinner and desert when he returned. Have you ever seen candles in ice cream? It was cute.

The weekend after his Birthday, we arranged a get together at Rum Runners and all his friends came to celebrate. They took Shane on stage and made fun of him, Ashlie participated in a dance contest on stage, and we all enjoyed the music and company. It is not very often we can all get together now that we are old but when we do, we sure have fun.

Going on a treasure hunt.

One rainy evening not too long ago,

I decided on a treasure hunt we will go.

I wrote all the catchy clues

Telling the kids exactly what to do.

All about the home I cleverly hid them

and then encouraged the kids to get them.

They found them all and in front of their eyes

Was a treasure chest and a nice surprise.

This was so much fun and the kids are begging for more. We even got dressed up for the hunt. The funniest moment was with the clue for the pantry.

I wrote "Rub a dub dub, three pirates in a tub. This is where we go for some grub."

Now Ian had been answering most of these right away but little Anna knew this one.

She yelled "WALMART!" Oh how sweet. I simply said "No. But I like what you're thinking."
