Mother’s Got A Dot Com

- ours will soon come to an end…
#3 Brat turned 17 two weeks ago, and tomorrow is #5 Brats turn. Then me on Wednesday, and #4 Brat on Friday, with a kiddie party for #5 on Saturday, (outdoors, with a bonfire and a tractor safari, weather permitting) and a round-up family affair for all of us Saturday evening.
I tell you, when it comes to birthdays, it doesn’t rain in this family, it pours…
With regard to presents, we’ve got a small one for #5, but the main one has to be got today. As for me, hubby wondered what I’d like, and I think I’d just love an evening out with him and a meal. That’s about it – I’ve got everyting I could possibly want already, but one-on-one time is a luxury.

For #4, anything that comes out of a horse supplies store is a sure winner. She’s got a horse that she calls her own, and they’re great together. A cute riding outfit would be nice, actually. She doesn’t worry much about how she looks while on horseback, but I’m sure she’d love it.
Anyway – once this is over, I can start thinking about Christmas.
Some traditions have been carried out already though – this Saturday, we went for Lutefisk. The Royal Lutefisk Society had its annual bash, complete with free-flowing Aquavit and endless amounts of Lutefisk delicacies… and we were there. Great fun.

This Thursday, some ladyfriends and I have planned a lefse-baking day, which should be fun also. That’s something I really hope will be a tradition – with recipes from all over the country. We’ll start with some easy ones, like potato-lefse… I guess this will call for a blog post after the fact! Please remind me to bring my camera along…
