Today is Mary's 50-something birthday. It was a nice "stay in your jammies" kind of day. Jennifer and Andrew flew out yesterday and AJ and Anna drove back to Milwaukee too. We decided to do a little yard work at my house and it turned out to be a total lawn overhaul with everyone pitching in including Mary and Carlos. Anna watched the peanut thank goodness because it was quite the ordeal. Mary had fun stomping the leaves and looking at all the colors. Carlos was awesome and helped us heave load after load of leaves into the bed of Timmy's truck.
But today we are taking it easy. I picked up a cake quick from Copps and we sang a little happy Birthday. Kaitlynn was playing with a beer can (I know... bad Mommy) until she saw the candles and the cake... then it was all over. CAKE!!! We had a little pre-birthday celebration for her and let her try a little cake... Okay, alot of cake. But how could I say no? We laughed and laughed... and then took a bath. 
Later this evening we headed to see the deer at the yard waste/ recycling center. There are a few deer that come out at dusk so we wanted to she Mary and Carlos. And there they were... a pair of bucks, some does and a few little Bambies (good thing AJ wasn't there to shoot em... not that you could anyway). So we ( and by that I mean Carlos) threw them some extra apples from Mom and dad's and watched them come ever so slightly closer and closer to the vehicles. It was interesting to watch the people that were there to see the deer and those that just wanted to get their yard clippings taken care of.
After it got dark... and COLD, we headed into town to check out the new "SONIC" restaurant which is right by our house. Its the first new restaurant that Green Bay had gotten in a while and its in the old drive up style. Would you believe that there was a line straight out the driveway and at least 20 cars deep... standing still. I couldn't believe it! We skipped it and got a pizza and some movies... our time to experience SONIC will come :)
