Thumbs Up, Mission Accomplished!

We we were quite lucky to get Karli and Kyle for a spontaneous dinner date. Since it was spontaneous, non of the kids knew until I picked up K & K from their after school care on my way home from work. Then the plotting began! Karli, Kyle and I came up with a brillant plan (actually multiple plans) to surprise the boys (and Patsy) when we came home. I'll save you details of how we pulled it off, but basically as the boys came running in to see me, then Karli and Kyle popped out from behind the China hutch. You should have seen the look on Brandon's face! I think Brandon actually said in the sweetest voice, "Are you really here?" I think he was afraid that he was only dreaming. Once they all realized it was real, the squeals of delight filled the house and we had a wonderful evening.
