A Week With The Veuleman Clan - Day 3

Today is Tuesday....

Another jam-packed day of excitement with the Veulemans.

Every morning after breakfast, Landry and I do a short devotional together. She has a book, God And Me, that has a toddler devotion for every day of the year. She LOVES it because it has lots of bright pictures of real children. When I read her devotion to her, I have to hold the book away from her until I am done and then I give the book to her so she can flip through all the pages. Today after doing her devotional, she worked on a puzzle.

I mentioned, yesterday, I was working on a project and I would tell you more about it today. Well here it is.....

Cory's birthday is not until tomorrow, but we had a luncheon today for one of the ministries we are a part of. So I wanted to surprise him with cookie cake. I had to bake and decorate the cakes yesterday afternoon and then find a place to hide them for the night. The only place I could think of was our old entertainment center that is now in our guest/store-all room.

I then had to hide the cookie cakes under the seats in the Exporer this morning in hopes that Cory would not see them or smell them as we drove for an hour up to the luncheon together. It worked out great and Cory was very excited and surprised when we started singing Happy Birthday and brought out the cakes.

Robby and Cory being crazy. Cory is being polite and serving his cake to everyone.

Landry loves luncheon too. Especially when she gets to eat pizza.

After driving home from luncheon, Cory went back to work while Landry and I rested a bit and then went to a huge semi-annual kids consignment sale. I packed Landry a nice snack and strapped her in her stroller to face the crazy crowds that come to this sale. Unfortunately, I found everything overpriced and only purchased 5 items. And to top it off, as soon as I purchased these items, the downpour of the century took place and Landry and I had no choice but to get soaked.

Finally, we got home and dried off a bit just in time to take Daddy out to a pre-birthday dinner. He chose to go to Olive Garden, which I felt was an excellent choice. We had a great time! I would have pictures of Landry with alfredo sauce all over her face, but the rain prevented me from taking my camera in. The best part was that our waiter brought us about 25 Andes mints....Score! I guess he liked us because he didn't bring any to the table next to us.

We left dinner and went to Target, which was great until we discovered Landry left a surprise for us in her diaper. We decided it was time to go.

Again, Landry is now in bed and Cory and I are just digesting the busy day we have had. We wouldn't have it any other way.
