Time to get caught up…

Posted in Family

This week will be a week of catch up on my blog.  I have several reviews that need to be posted.  I need to post more Grand Canyon pictures.  Munchkin’s birthday pictures will go up.  I have a winner to announce.  I need to try to make it around to several blogs this week as I’m very far behind on my reading.  I need to respond to comments…  You get the idea.  We’ve had so much fun the last two weeks with the Grand Canyon and then all of the party preparations, but it kept us very busy (fun busy). …

Last night, I stayed up way too late working on Munchkin’s cake and other party decorations.  Munchkin hasn’t seen the cake yet.  She’ll see it for the first time at the party.  I’m pleased with how it turned out even though I have the most difficult time writing on cakes.

After lunch, we headed over to the park for park day with our homeschool group.  Munchkin gave one of her friends an invite to her party.  (I had already talked to her mom, but she hadn’t received an actual invite yet.)  It was nice…

11th Birthday Preparations: Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

Today was filled with more cleaning and birthday preparations.  While I worked, Munchkin did her school work and then worked on her car for the Awana Grand Prix.  The Grand Prix was tonight.  There were several technical difficulties (and difficulties in how the rules were enforced), but the kids ultimately had lots of fun even with the craziness.  It was priceless watching all of their excited faces as the cars raced down the track. Back to the party prep… When I was at the dollar store, I found these travel mugs that you can personalize.  I knew these would make…
