I was feeling guilty that I hadn’t blogged yet today (you’re about to hear why) but when I came to my page stats, I saw that I’ve only had six views! So I don’t feel as bad. I feel tired.
My mom came over and officially saved my life today. She was here at 9:00am and we worked our crazy little bums off until about 10:00pm, stopping only to eat. Of course, Brady and I dad also arrived around 5:30-ish and joined the fun. Dekker’s party is tomorrow, and our house was a complete mess. Sweeping, dusting, organizing, tidying, dishes, dishes, more dishes, vacuuming, laundry, mowing, and getting our new picnic table off the deck and onto the lawn. Plus, cakes needed to be bakes, lemons needed to be juiced, presents needed to be wrapped, etc. Everything went surprisingly smoothly though! It is amazing how days like that can be so fun! And how having a friend to help can be such extra motivation.
Only once were we held up. Mom was mowing and it started pouring! I ran out to convince her to come inside. We have mowed and bagged enough these last few days. As I was putting my sandals on, the rain got crazy loud, and I realized it was actually hail! I bolted outside, getting blasted in the side of the head, my ear filling with water and ice. I yelled at my mom “Come inside! Its hailing!” and she goes “Its hailing?” My mom is always so happy to help anywhere she’s needed, even if it leaves her mowing my lawn in the a hailstorm. I love you, mom.
I had a big scary list of things to accomplish today. Wanna knows whats left on it? Bathing Dekker. And then the obvious stuff, like setting out the tables and condiments, fruit and veggies, put the lemonade in the drink dispenser thing, etc. Obvious party stuff. But tonight, I am done. I will have a bubble bath, paint my nails, and watch something light-hearted on Netflix.
My feet hurt. A good hurt. *Sigh of relief*
I love you too Darlin’. Ya, it was a good day ….always good to spend time with
you 🙂 It’s going to be a great day today celebrating our Dekker- Boy!
