Today is Jonathan's birthday. I didn't take Owen to school, and we made peanut butter blossom cookies right after breakfast. He was a big help (so he thought, at least), and his task was to unwrap the Hershey's kisses -- the same job I remember having when making them with my mom 25 years ago. Ouch, that makes me feel old.
All week, I've been conspiring with Jonathan's co-worker, Taleana, on a plan to surprise him at work for lunch today. He works at Wells Fargo Advisors, along with 5,000+ other St. Louisans and security is tight. That made it more of a surprise that Owen and I made it up to the floor where he works.
Apparently we almost didn't get away with it. In Taleana's words: "He has already tried going somewhere else for lunch… I had to tell him NO.. don’t go.. .. Matt was laughing at me.. because I said.. don’t ask questions.. you just have to stay here.. he said why.. I said jon.. shut up.. you just have to stay here.. no more questions.. just stay here."
Jonathan enjoyed the surprise and we had a lovely lunch of soggy Penn Station sandwiches and fries in one of their cafeterias. Tonight we celebrated at Chevy's. It was grand. The end.

Owen had many memorable quotes from the backseat this evening. This is one that stuck with me.
O: What animal makes the sound 'moooooo'?
K: Hmmm... I'm not sure. What letter does it start with?
O: (sounding it out) kuh... kuh... K.
K: Oh, a kow! Got it.
