Bethany, Adam and I all went to Lauren's house yesterday to celebrate KC's birthday. :-) I stuffed my kids in the car and made the 3+ hour drive to Lauren's neck of the woods. The drive there was quite pleasant and I must say that I made quite an outstanding first impression by arriving late. :oops: (MapQuest said it would only take 2.5 hours!). This impression was reinforced later when Lauren watched me swoon over a hot dog. :smt036 More on that later...


Anyway, the kids had a blast. Bethany quickly took to the kiddie pool and played with the older girls while KC and Adam looked on. Peer pressure apparently works on B, as she ate part of a popsicle, 2 potato chips and a few bites of hamburger! :yahoo: KC polished off a fruit cup and finished the meal by wearing the empty container on his head. :smt036 A good time was had by all. :-) Contrary to what you might think, Lauren is really a normal, nice person. *ducks to avoid objects Lauren is sure to hurl in this direction* Her kids are really fun and her dh is very nice. :-)

So, about that hot dog...Lauren's dh (Ken) fired up the grill and made hamburgers/hot dogs. As most of you know, I am a hot dog connisseur (sp?). These babies were cooked to perfection--crispy and well-done on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside. Plop one in a bun, slap on a little mustard and you're in hot-dog Heaven...*begins to salivate at the memory* Anyway, Lauren was trying to talk to me and I must've looked like I was doing an impression of Bill Murray at the dinner table from the movie "What About Bob?". She talked and I made "Mmmmmm" sounds and stuffed hot dog in my mouth. I didn't realize what a fool I was making of myself until she stopped talking and simply stared at me, mouth crammed full of hot dog and mustard on my lips, in awe. :oops:

I'm not sure if I'll be invited back but I had a great time! :-)

ROFL lauging about the hotdog, that is too much.

That is great you went and it seems you had such a good time. Are ther pics to follow?

Oh, Mary! You just crack me up! :rolling: Nothing like orgasm by hot dog then? :haha:


WTG Beffy on all that eating! Wonder what else we can do to get more peer pressure about food for her? LOL...come on over to CO...Josh is a great eater and you can handle the drive, right? ;)

We were pretty sure Lauren was normal, but now the jury is out yet again on you, especially after this 'hot dog incident'. :ANYWORD:

How great that you all had a chance to meet up. Definately need pics. Definately. Anyone get one of you with the drool and mustard running down your face?!

How great that you were able to finally met and attend KC b-day party!! I hope we have some pics from this meeting :-)

Glad you guys got to meet! And LMAO @ the hot dog! :haha:

Thats funny lol You should be writer,, you paint such a picture with your stories lol .. and thats great that B ate that good !!! wohoo :yahoo:

Yes, there are pics; however, I can't download them until I get home (we fly back to NJ today. We were slated to leave this morning; however, our flight's been changed to tonight).

No, you turkeys, there are NO pics of me making love to my hot dog. :smt036

However, for $50, I'll post the pic of Lauren wearing her thong swimsuit in the kiddie pool...:haha:

YAY hot dogs! YAY peer pressure! I know B's still just two, but have you thought about preschool? Regular snacktimes with other kids might really help her.

I'm hoping preschool peer pressure will help with eating too! LOL, Mary, Ava's a hot dog connossieur (?) too, but they creep me out! I can't even stand the smell!

And yes, we need pix! That's so great that you guys made it to the party!!!

I'm Linds, hot dogs totally gross me out but give my boys a Ballpark beef dog and they are in heaven!

That's cool that you got to meet up and I can't wait to see some pics.

Have a safe trip back!

I am off to post my account of the meeting. :evil4:
