Calling for ideas

Squeaky is going to be 1 in just a month! I can't believe how fast this past year has gone.

I want to do a party for him with and Easter egg hunt to go along with it since I will most likely be having his party the Saturday before Easter. I need some cute ideas people! Some of you are VERY crafty (Connie) so help me out please. Not too elaborate, just cute, simple and fun. I was thinking about doing a brunch type meal with easy food to prepare ahead of time.

Also, with it just being the monkeys and me now, I need some new dinner recipes. I am a vegetarian and now I feel like I need/want to incorporate more meatless dinners in our meal plans. I will have to do it gradually since I have the pickiest eaters living with me. I am taking any and all suggestions for easy meals. I would especially love crock pot meals (meatless of course) that I can put on to cook in the morning and would make my evenings go a little bit smoother.

A funny one

I opened my front door yesterday evening to find three cats waiting for me, we only have 2. I had managed to grab my neighbor's cat and throw him inside. I thought he was ours that had escaped during the mad morning rush to get out of the door. I am still laughing at it all, can only imagine the fun things that went on in my house during the 10 hours we were gone!
