Nick's birthday this year fell on Memorial Day. I love killing two birds with one stone. Well, not literally, 'cause I have a problem with killing anything, but, you know.....having a big BBQ for Memorial Day and re-naming it "Nick's Birthday".....worked out really well!!Food is always the first order of business. I won't go into detail about what we ate. It would make you cry. Just know that it was enjoyed by all.
We celebrated with the Mellotts. Sammie had some big plans for the food.
Jason couldn't keep up with demand.
Cam is just cute.
I'm pretty sure I used to be able to do this......a really, really long time ago......
Nick was pretty excited about his gifts. He's such a total boy.......
Especially excited about getting the Nerf gun he really wanted. The Longshot:
This was his reaction.....More than one red-blooded male present felt the same way......
Hmmm....sharing his birthday candle wish with Gabby?
Hope your wish came true....Happy Birthday Nicholas!!!

Bulbs are so worth it!
Every year when our bulbs start coming up I thank myself for taking the time to plant them, and then I wish I had planted MORE!!!! When they are the only color there is, I want it to be everywhere! If only I could remember the feeling in October when the time comes to buy and plant them.....Maybe I'll revisit this post to give me the motivation! Here are some pics:
Okay--I realize the next photos are all of the same tulips, but I really couldn't choose so you get them all!

It will soon be a distant memory...
I know everyone is sick of winter and the snow but when we got dumped on during Spring Break I really thought is was beautiful. It won't be long before we are all cursing the heat and spring weather will be forgotten. I took a few pictures of the storm: Of course we lost a big branch off this tree...
But really, how often can you get pictures of this?

The SpongeBob of my youth.......
Purely for the sake of replacing the previous photos on my blog post of one month ago (of which I am sick to death of looking at as my blog is my default home page), I post a photo of a character from a lifetime ago.......
--Yes, it's Gargamel. Sworn enemy of Papa Smurf and all the Smurflings. I had relegated Gargamel to the furthest recesses of my memory. He never surfaced, unlike the Sleestaks from Land of the Lost:
Sleestaks rocked. And let's face it, Will was hot, to those of us who had a six-year-old crush on him anyway.....
Back to Gargamel. I had completely forgotten about him until today, when an errant comment on someone's blog sent him rushing back into my cerebral cortex like the flush from a not-up-to-code toilet. This led me on a mental walk down memory lane: 6:00 a.m. Saturday mornings, when cartoons meant something. Where I sat, enveloped by a blanket, warm air from the heater vent creating a toasty bubble in which I baked. Classics like, Schoolhouse Rock, Bugs Bunny, H.R. Pufinstuf with Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters
Ahhhhh.........good times! Enjoy!
