So tomorrow is the big day for Marcail and Donovan; finally they are getting their birthday party! With the move into our house, and many other changes, the celebration had to wait until it would be exciting for me to put a party together instead of it being grueling work. And for good reason.... I had thought, "No big deal, I'll just make them a summer dinner with lots of guests, bake a cake, buy some fun stuff for the children that show up (bazookas, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk) and it'll be easy, right?" Hmmmm..... I'm just going to say that its 12:30 in the morning and there's still more to be done! Regardless of the energy spent on this, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I think the main thing that motivates me is that 1.)birthdays were not a huge deal in my childhood, and 2.) I think about all the fun pictures that I'll have for them of their parties and one day they'll realize that not every mom makes "crayon cakes" : ) ....and now I know why - its a LOT of work!!!!
