Hello everyone!
Yesterday was a very very busy and fun day! Yesterday was my moms B-day! and a few girls and ladies from the church had a big suprise for my dear mom, =P I was going to tell you, but I did not want my mom to read my blog and find out! Let me start from the very beginning of the day.... Everyday my dad goes out for his coffee (and that tradition will stay in the family. I love going
out on Saturdays to drink coffee in the morning). Anyway....my Dad left to pray in the morning , and my mom wanted to go and cut her hair and stuff, so she called my dad, to see if he could pick her up, and they went out to eat breakfast, while they were there they ordered a cake to bring home, but the one they wanted wasn´t ready so they had to pick it up later in the day. Ellis and I stayed home and I made a quick breakfast for both of us, this is what we had: 2 cups each of strawberry milkshakes, and graham crakers =P, and then I washed the dishes and put a load of laundry in the washing machine... After I got that done, my mom HAD planned on cooking :O and asked if I could peel the potatoes and wash the green beans, and the corn, and just have me
make juice, *I think, I really don´t remember cuz I was kinda half sleeping. =p* I decided I was going to make dinner. =P The picture above is what I made....yummy!!
Here´s the Menu:
Green Beans with Carrots
Scalloped Potatoes
Corn on the Cob
Chicken
Salad
Melon Juice
Mexican salsa
It was all ready when my mom came home, except for the chicken I had no idea how I was going to make it, I love eating chicken, but preparing and cooking !no way Jose¡, ask my mom (she says: well, your poor husband if you won´t cook fish, meat, at least you can make chiken) sorry maybe that will change in a few years...back to the point! The only thing my mom cooked on her birthday was: chicken...Well on Wednesday we had planned to take my mom to a restraunt and have something to eat and maybe ice-creem or cake, depeding on where we were going, we had many diffrent options, some of you might know: Bambi, 4D, and so on...We decided that we would go to a pizza and ice-cream shop, and put decorations and stuff... but the propblem was how are we going to take her there? Everyone voted that it was my job to do that soooo... this is what I had in mind: I would tell my mom that me and Soad were going to a plaza (or park that is in the city) And we wanted to invite her, =P well the resturant, the one we chose happens to be up the road from the park, :D so we picked up Soad, and a brother from the church that invited my dad to coffee, so we drove to the park, and when
we passed the park, mom said, the park is back there! Me and Soad are like umm yea...um we are going to park the car over here....don´t worry!
When we go to our destination, which turned out to be the same resturant that she had breakfast at with my dad that morning and it was perfect cuz the cake was ready to pick up, and I get out of the car I see Alexandra and Joyceline... my mom saw them she was soo suprised ! We all had a very good time...We each had something to eat, I had a cookie, and soda. I was not really hungry, we had just finished eating dinner, so after eating we had some cake...then we talked and talked and opened the presents... We all had a good time! Then we left, just before the resturant closed, and took everyone home.
Well I got to go now, bye bye... miss everyone!
