In which I use parentheses (a lot!)
Last week was crazy busy, and my mom was in town, so any spare time we had from dealing with the crazy went to her.
I think I spent most of the week in the kitchen, making desserts for the PTA for Teacher Appreciation Week, mini cupcakes for Katie's preschool for her birthday (which doubled for her birthday party on Saturday, and all the extras went to the teachers, too. One batch made 96 cupcakes!), a double batch of chili for the teachers, tiny cutout sandwiches for Katie's "tea party" and about 3 million cupcake "balls" (they were actually squares) for party favors, of which 7 went to actual kids.
Rex and I also had our date night, went out to dinner for Katie's birthday day (where Owen ate nothing but ice for his entire meal. The boy is living on air, I tell ya.) and hosted 5 girls for Katie's "Tea Party" themed birthday party. The party went well, except for the part where I only had an hours worth of activities for a two hour party. Thank goodness one of the kids suggested bubbles and I had a ton, because that kept them going for another 45 minutes. I may cave next year and outsource the party to some bounce/pizza/gamey type place to save my sanity. Rex will be so happy to get out of listening to me bitch and beg for ideas for the month prior. We seem to be in the minority with this party-at-home thing, anyway.
I would say I'm looking forward to this being a more relaxed week, but we have school programs, doctor's appointments, field days, teacher gifts to buy, school parties (more cupcakes! Yay!) and a gymnastics exhibition.
Do they still make Calgon?
