The Big Ol' 7!!




Well I know that alot of moms when they post birthday pictures of one of their kids have a cute little baby pic to go with it...well unfortunately none of those for my little Miss because incidentally because of a comment posted on my blog several months ago my computer crashed and with it went 2 and a half years of pictures while here in Korea and all those other previously mentioned cute baby pics of all my babies!! So thanks alot for that one whoever you are...anyway though on a happy note Destinee finally turned the big 7 (only on average of 4 months behind her classmates!!) Yeah she is definitely the young'en in the class but I think she's doing just fine and I know she'll "hang in there" and finish up strong!! Anyway, so she had requested a cat cake, which this year was a first for me asking what they preferred because usually what happens is I find a cool cake I want to try and make on the internet and well that ends up being their cake "whether they like it or not!!!!" No if they really hated the idea I PROBABLY (only a probably) wouldn't do it, but she had said a cat cake would be fun and to make a long story short (I never seem to do well at summing things up because I just go on and on and on....oh sorry there I go again!!) This was the first cake I had ever done totally by myself without any help or constructive criticism from the biggest supporter but also biggest critic, my hubby!! So I thought though it looked a little sadistic that it turned out well for a first time!! ;) Happy B-Day Big Girl!!
Oh and the foofy hair was our hairstyle this morning after she slept in rag curls!! I LOVED IT!!!! Shirley Temple wannabe!! Halloween ideas, anyone!!?? ;) P.S. The cat does have a tail, it's just hidden back there!! ;)

You Wanted to Make Sure What??

Well here's our funny (you know the kind of laughing that you do right before you blow up at somebody)...maybe that's just me but sometimes I get so mad I just have to smile or laugh or something at how silly or stupid the person's being...okay well here's that situation for today. We're at the Dragon Hill tonight for dinner and we were SO thoroughly impressed with our waiter, and so we filled out a comment card on him so that he would be praised for his good service....and so we go to pay our bill with very satisfied full bellies and a happy satisfied Daddy (which is much harder to come by!!) and since we are lowely peons in the AF we were supposed to receive a discount on the buffet we had and so Chris showed the cashier lady (which happened to be a manager...just for interest sake who do you talk to when the manager makes you mad!!?? A puzzlement!!) his ID card to prove his rank and so she asked for mine...well since I never seem to keep my wallet with me at all times (stupid I know) it was in the car (Where's the kitchen sink and my breast pads, Dear?? Oh they're in the car!!) ANYWAY....I digress!! SO he proves that he is indeed a lowely peon and she wants to see mine and I don't have it so she says she can't give me the discount. Well thinking it was just a misunderstanding of her thinking I was military as well I proceed to smile and correct the situation by saying that I'm civilian and not military so therefore I fall under whatever rank my husband is, and she proceeds to tell us............."I need to see your ID ma'm to prove that you are a dependant and that these children are yours!!" EXCUSE ME, do you think I just picked up these rambunctious blondes off the side of the road....don't you think if I was going to kidnap some kids I would've found some quieter, better behaved ones!!?? DUH!! Needless to say another comment card was written and this time it wasn't all the nice sweet mushy things to say....
