Countdown to party

So with just 2 days left for party preparations. I'm running. But first, let me say Thursday night was LOVELY, I read 5 chapters in my current book, and enjoyed the band a lot! Friday I worked in the house.  Now to the countdown.

Saturday I ran errands with my younger 3 as Beth was camping with her field hockey team, and Tim was golfing.  After dropping Tori off at my parents for her sleepover  I came home with the other two munchkins and had lunch and hung out. Tim joined us around 3:30 and we went Mini-golfing and to dinner.  Miniature golf with kids is FUN. Katie got it, and tried really hard, and loved it when she made good shots. Drew's goal was to hit the ball to the hole without hitting anyone nearby. HE succeeded, barely.  Dinner was Macaroni grill,  I think I'm just an Olive Garden junkie, because other than the paper tablecover for coloring I wasn't overwhelmed with YAY-ness. I like O.G. better, it's just that simple.

Sunday, picked up Tori then church, Tim had to go to work after, so the 3 littles and I went to lunch with church friends. Then came home, shortly after getting home we had to go get Beth. Dinner, baths, bed.

Monday & Tuesday this week I did gardening, ok I got the string trimmer out and whacked the weeds in what should be my gorgeous backyard.  It'll be presentable for the party Saturday. Today thanks Dad, I got the wild idea to pull up the carpet from the hallway. I've wanted to do this for a while.. but today turned into the perfect day. So it's done.  My back is TIRED. I'M TIRED. But I'm quite happy with the results.  We have wood floor throughout, and it's covered by carpet in all bedrooms, and used to be, hallway. We'll de-carpet Katie/Tori's room over Christmas break. :o)

Tomorrow I attack the inside for the party. Tomorrow night choir and perhaps another stop at the pub. After working this hard I kind of feel like I deserve a little treat.

Speaking of treats.. I'm off to bed. A great treat, sleep.
