We're having a birthday party for Calvin tomorrow. I know that he is super excited. I was lucky enough to have some help in prepping this evening. Thank you to Kristy, Kimmie, Andy, Dad & John for helping me out today with things. And an early thank you to everyone who will bring treats tomorrow. Phew. Having help is wonderful.
But when it comes down to it, we won't have EVERYTHING on the list done. There will be dirt before guests arrive (& more after & that's exactly how we like it around the "farm"). Decorations that I had in mind won't get made. Decorations I already made will fall apart or get pulled down by Cal. Something will be missing. And all of that will be just fine. Just take a look at the impromptu baby collage. Ugh! The pictures are all falling. Maybe I'll have time to fix it & maybe not.
The help with baking tonight was clutch. It is so nice to finally take up an offer for help. This is something I have never really been able to do. We had a great time & if it wasn't for the pizza we ordered, where would we have put our cake pop masterpieces?!
The blue cupcakes were sacrificed for a game of wiffle ball with Calvin in the dark. My brother made my facebook status "Putting sticks into balls". Hijacker! I'm positive there will be Jack Russell hair on the couch. There WILL be cake. Calvin will love his party (even though he told me that tonight was a party too with everyone here helping. You're right, buddy!). I can only hope that everyone has a good time. We're doing cake, desserts & beverages. Really this is so I can hopefully enjoy some social time too. Nothing worse than hosting & not enjoying the time with friends who gather.
This is our chaotic life. I'm lucky to check off "have fun" on my to-do list every single day. Tomorrow will be no different. Happy 4th Birthday party Calvin!
