Happy 50th Birthday Leisa!

Tomorrow is my sister, Leisa's, birthday. A BIG one.  50!  I was planning a surprise party for her and decided to let her 7 year old son, Tyson help me.  He loves planning parties and I knew he would get excited.  After we had everything planned Leisa called me up giggling.  She said Tyson was telling her everything we had talked about and he ended by telling her "Oh, and it's a surprise party, mom".  She said "Well, Tyson, if it's a surprise I don't think I'm supposed to know about it".  He thought for a minute and then shrugged his shoulders and said very matter-of-factly "Well, then I guess it won't be a surprise".  We've laughed about it for 2 weeks.  I'm glad she's such a good sport and is going along with it.  When I invite anyone I tell them it's a surprise party that she knows about.  Her 19 year old son, Derek came to the day care tonight with my son, Connor and Tyson and we blew up 400 helium balloons to fill  her office and decorate the fences in front of the center.  It looks great!  I can't wait for her to see it.

Lily-Bad Dog!

My sister Leisa just left my house.  She came over so I could rub her back.  She has a big knot on her right shoulder blade and I spent about 15 minutes rubbing it out.  Her son, Tyson (age 7) came with her. He had never seen Connor's house so he went next door to see it and Connor's dog, Lily, bit Tyson in the face.  It was really more like a scratch but it bled and scared Tyson.  We can't figure out why she did that unless she was just being protective of her turf.  I went grocery shopping tonight so I won't have to leave my house tomorrow.  I plan on staying in my pj's all day long and cleaning and sewing and reading and doing whatever I feel like.  That's my idea of heaven.
