we must be soul mates lonnie.
larry hates when those tubs are on sale. i do exactly what you do and have them in corners of closets all over the house. i am addicted to them!
the birthday story is funny too. the last little one we had, had his birthday a few days after we got him, but because it was a three day weekend and they were an emergency placement, i had no access to any info until tuesday. i called for their birthdays/ages/etc for school/daycare and the desk clerk said "you aren't going to believe this, but you better break out the birthday cake."
5 pm on a tuesday night. luckily he was four and his mom hadn't told him his birthday was coming up so the next day we just told him guess what? its your birthday! i needed the day for presents and cake!
but if this happens all the time, maybe i should just keep a cake mix and frosting in the cupboard for those little birthday emergencies!
doesn't it seem odd that you are all moving kids around on their birthdays?
