To Do List:

Make sure plans are in place to get Dad off of the base. Bake the cake Wrap that package Get with Bree and Stretcher about the party Make sure Dad has no idea that I am the one behind it.

Dad's birthday is next Wednesday, so we're planning a surprise party for him. (Insert evil grin here.)

I talked with Uncle Clay yesterday and he told me that he had Chuckles get a false mission started that will get Dad off of the base.

Roadblock told me that even though he usually does this, he wants me to make the cake. Although he says, he will do the icing if I would let him. Better him than Shipwreck or one of the others.

I got him a ceramic panther, lounging on a tree branch. I saw it and I knew that I had to get it for him. It's just like his personality. Bree had seen it at the same time, and she thought the same thing. I know what she got him, but I will not say what she got him.

I also got one of the few pictures of him and Mom together, and I had it blown up and made into a painting. It's hidden in Hawk's office, and the only one who knows what it is is Flint. He was there when I picked it up.

I know that Dad isn't much on surprises, but I know that he'll love this one.

May 4th- the party begins. I'm so looking forward to doing this.
