Mom Visiting

My mom's visiting. And that's a good thing because we get along, she's great with the kids, and she helped me alot when the Branch and Blossom were first born. My mom got here late Wednesday night and is staying a week. She wanted to come for her birthday (which was yesterday) because she was here over her birthday last year and really enjoyed herself.

On Wednesday I ordered a birthday cake and was able to get Nanny G. to pick it up for me while she (Nanny G.) went out for lunch with her fiance, Mr. D. No-one over the age of 29 likes their age in candles on their cake, so I came up with a great idea. I put 6 candles on the cake, 4 blue and 2 pink, to represent her grandchildren. I told her to look carefully at the candles before blowing them out and she quickly picked up the hidden message. Branch and Blossom enjoyed some birthday cake too.

I took my mother to a Japanese restaurant for her birthday. It's very good and it is nearby. I just don't go there too often because it is very expensive. What's up with that anyway? Chinese food is usually cheap but the Japanese must be proud of their food for what they charge for it.
