WEEKENDING

I am thankful for the mess to clean
after a party because it means I have
been surrounded by friends. 

~Nancie J. Carmody
A whole weekend preparing
for a surprise party for my
baby who will turn 15 on
Wednesday.
My house has been cleaned
top to bottom,
the yard is immaculate,
lots of good food has been
prepared, and there is a
French vanilla cake with
extra chocolate butter cream
frosting chilling in the icebox
because it's his favorite.
The guests are set to arrive
soon so I now need to get
myself ready.
I hope your weekend has
been filled with wonderful
surprises.
There is still one more day
to enter my little giveaway
it you're interested.
Joining with Amanda.

    Enjoy the party. Sounds like you will sure have good food and a great time. Kind of bitter/sweet when our babies get bigger and older and we know that one day, before long, they will leave the nest. Enjoy today and the week ahead!

    I love preparing for parties...it's so much more special than everyday housework and baking.
    I hope you had a wonderful time.
