Early Anniversary Gift

*SQUEEEEEEEEE*

K...so Paul and I are celebrating our anniversary in a month but I got my anniversary gift early.

Last week Paul was in Boston for the week on a training course and then he was going to drive to Ohio to get his son.
It was set to be a 14 hour drive so I volunteered to meet him in Boston and help w/ the driving.

So at 8am on friday morning I got on a greyhound for the 12 hour trip to Boston (was supposed to be 10 hr but the border got clogged)

I was promiced a super great seafood dinner for my efforts and I got it.
Garlic and white wine mussles and grilled swordfish w/ mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies.

It was at dinner I found out I would be getting my anniversary gift a month early...

A day trip to NYC to see WICKED one BROADWAY!!!

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

It was at the famious Gershwin theatre, Orchestra section row F seats 107, 108

Musical Interlude

I'm A Survivor - Reba McEntire

I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this love's to die for
'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'
You're walkin' out and I'm not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be

Chorus:
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up, but she's just
Too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be

Repeat Chorus

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

Anniversary Destinations

So...my man are slowly appriaching our one year anniversary (nov) and it hasn't been an easy ride to say the least
Since we've decided to likely slag off somewhere and to the trip/us time thing we're starting to get into planning mode now...

So far the front runners are NYC, Savannah Georgia, Salem Mass.

I'd like to keep it to driving distance but he also has a friend in GA we could visit and he is dying for me to meet.
So thats another possibility...

What do y'all think and if you had something like this coming up where would you go?

Tricking Children

Now I'm not generally an advocate of giving into childrens unreasonable demands but sometimes we parents do take the path of least resistance.
Take today for example...I have a headache, the kids have been inside all day cause of the rain and my youngest hasn't eaten anything.
Now beyond being picky, he's also stubborn
So for dinner I made his favorite food of all time.................oatmeal

Not your general dinner fare...but I managed to get in all the food groups, thus tricking him

I took half a cup of oatmeal (old school rolled oats) two egg whites whipped up w/ a bit of milk and half a cup of water.
Nuked this for 2 min, stirred and nuked for another min
Then I added grated apple, a huge dollop of vanilla yogurt and like usual...brown sugar and milk

Now my son isn't the brightest bulb in the tanning bed...so because I used all white or tan-ish colored food he is happily eating it while I rest my weary head

What kind of ways have you found work well for "tricking" your kids into eating healthy or doing stuff they otherwise don't wanna do?
