Last week was Friday the 13th. Sharon and I started to plan a little birthday party for Cory. Earlier in the week I told the kids that we were having a birthday party for Cory and they needed to do some chores around the house to earn money to go and buy him a present. So the whole week they remembered to make their beds, clean their rooms, and help with cooking and the dishes. Thursday night we take them to the dollar store and set them loose. Jeremy takes off straight for the manly aisle. Bailee however, hasn't quite grasped the concept of "manly presents" so her first couple of choices were a doll and a girly purse. Eventually though, she grabbed a flashlight and exclaims that since daddy has a lot of flashlights, Cory should too.
Meanwhile, Jeremy is scouring the store and finally comes back to the register holding a broom. They were so excited to give Cory their carefully chosen presents.
The Morrill clan arrived a little before 6 and Bailee and Jeremy throw their presents at Cory and then give Ammon and Sam their Valentines. Dinner was excellent. Pulled pork sandwiches with baked beans and potato salad. 
The twins LOVED their dinner. Afterwards, Sharon pulled out Cory's birthday cake and we sang and ate until we couldn't eat anymore.
Then we all headed downstairs to watch the new Psych episode. It was pretty freaky and a great way to celebrate Friday the 13th. Happy Birthday Cory, thanks for giving us a reason to celebrate!!!!

So was his birthday on the 13th? He didn't have any bad luck did he? or is that you and mat that have the bad luck when your with them? I'm refering back to october and your out eating dinner and have to leave the building.
His birthday is on the 14th - Valentines Day. We didn't have any bad luck. It was a fun night.
Thanks for the fun evening and thank you for the fun gifts you and the kids got him. It turned out really good. The company was great. Psych was awesome.
Thanks again.
She totally forgot the best part! We watched one of Cory and I's favorite all-time scary movies from when we were kids: Monster Squad. It brought me back to days when Cory and I each had a bag of Microwave popcorn, something to drink, and cuddled up in a blanket watching it and quoting lines. It was a lot scarier back then.
