Do people read their own blogs?



I'm curious to see how long it will take Joanne to realize that I've hijacked her blog in order to tell the DOC that today is her birthday...

The 2011 mother-of-the-year didn't have a great start this morning.
I (Fred) got locked out of my car at 6:30 in the morning while 45 minutes away from home and trying to get her the best cake in the world (as a surprise).
I got the cake but I also got home at 9:15 (instead of 7:15 so I could get the kids ready and she could sleep in - I always take the day off work on her birthday).

Her day should get better after a 4-hour spa treatment and with the arrival of her mom this afternoon.

Happy birthday to the best mom in the world!

Lucky husband

    This is very sweet of Fred . . . . my husband will hear of this and be shameful of his own lack of brillance.

    A spa day?!?!?!?!?!?!
    F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S-I-T-Y :)

    And, I want a photo of the cake that took away your free morning. ;)

    Happy Birthday Jo!!!!!

    I think Fred wants his own year supply of Chick fil A. When does the father of the year contest come up? :)

    You guys are so cute with your no pickles for him, extra pickles for her order.

    Happy birthday to one of my favorite and most entertaining mamas! Hopefully we can celebrate in person soon.

    Happy Birthday! Yesterday I saw a little girl in a shirt that said
    Canadian Girls are the Best.
    I am glad Fred agrees.
    Happy Birthday from All of Vancouver to you! :-)

    HAHA Tomorrow is my moms birthday. No chance of any of us getting lock out of a car though, cause we are leaving for WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!! Where we will get to see my two older sisters, my bro-in-law and my niece(for the first time!). Happy Birthday Joanne. Thanks for writing this blog, it help me keep my sanity through this first year with D. (9-10-10, so we will also be at disney for my year aniversity, my sis's wedding anivesity, and be leaving shortly before that sisters birthday to.) Man semptember is a busy month in my family. ;)
