See You Monday

Or late on Sunday. The long-awaited camping trip will begin tomorrow. I'm not even going to turn on the computer because I get so easily distracted and I really have to prepare 2 days worth of meals so I'm not trying to do it at a picnic table while swatting bugs :-)

I was talking to my sister last night and mentioned DS's birthday. I haven't been sure what to do. DH thinks we should do bowling and Chinese food like usual, but I was thinking maybe take the kids and a couple friends and maybe some cousins to certain park with a really cool splash pad and maybe have some cake. I may do this anyway.

Sister: Let's take a cake to Dad's.

Me: Um, just invite ourselves with a week's notice?

Sister: Yeah, he won't mind.

Me: Um, really? Should we call or something?

Sister: OK, you call on your cell.

Me: *calling Dad on cell* I got the machine. I think he screened me because I have a weird area code on my cell.

Sister called on her cell, while still on the phone with me and Dad answered. We're going to his place with cake on Saturday next week.

We contemplated not invited Middle Sister until Wednesday, so that she would probably have plans and not be able to come. It was Youngest Sister's job to message her today. I guess we'll see.

That whole call was weird.
