Tomorrow will be a big day at our place. Owen's first birthday party is finally here!! We had to reschedule our last attempt because of a nasty flu-bug that had us all disgustingly out-of-commission, and I'm so excited that we're finally able to get this party started! There won't be as many people coming this time, seems a lot of our friends had last minute family things to deal with or vacations to take, but it actually kind of makes it better. The headcount was getting a little ridiculous!! For the last party, I think we had 25 or 30 people confirmed, and for this one only 15 or so - much more manageable in our smallish place. Also, this way we only have family coming (and my best friend, but she's like family, so I'll count her in that group! hee), so nobody will feel out of place, and I won't have to play hostess introduction games for the friends who wouldn't know many people.
We've made pretty good headway on the cleaning front, but we still have much to do. We're taking extra care with our disinfecting and thoroughness because we're all three getting over yucky throat/ear infections that plagued us most of last weekend and the early part of this week. Yes, back-to-back with our flus from the New Year! YAY!!! The doctor said on Sunday that 48 hours would be plenty of time to get us all "uncontagious", so I figure we're good to go. I just hope Luke's residual cough, and Owen's runny nose (caused by teething at this point, I swear!) won't freak anyone out... *fingers crossed*. Anyway, I have a lot of food prep left to do. I figure I'll try to get cookies baked and the mixtures for egg & tuna sandwiches made, and the rest will have to wait until tomorrow for freshness reasons. We still have the back half of the apartment to vacuum and mop, plus we need to throw some linens in the wash for our over-night company... the kitchen must be done tonight too! Yikes, what am I doing online right now?!?!? lol
Well, back to it! I'll post pictures and an update when our wonderful family hits the bricks!! lol
