So, I decided to try out a new spot for my blog, so here I am. I like Myspace but I mainly use it just for my blog, so I figured I might try out a spot that is just that, just for my blog. I also wanted to be able to embed photos into my blog and myspace didn't seem to offer that option.
So, this weekend we had one last shindig for Harrison's seventh birthday, so it is officially over now! The party actually turned out very well, considering I sent out the e-vites on Wednesday for a party on Saturday! We had 18 kids show up! The park was packed with soccer and football but we managed to take over the playground and picnic tables and have a good time.
Each birthday that comes and goes, I add to my mental list a few more things that we will change or do differently. This year I added to my list that I will be in charge of buying beverages and bringing them to the party location. I put Tom in charge of it, thinking it is an easy task. Well, we ended up with enough water bottles for adults to have one each and drink boxes for the kids to have one each. Not a HUGE deal, but still, the NM sun gets pretty warm, toss in kids running around in the sun and they get thirsty and hot! So, one small warm beverage per person just doesn't cut it! Sorry guests! I hope you have all rehydrated :)
My mom graced us with her presence. I don't know what I have done to upset her universe but good grief. Tom went over today and dug some holes for a few plants she bought and did a few other things for her, so perhaps beating her at her passive aggressive game will bring her back into proper planetary alignment.
Abigail is going to be a doctor for Halloween and one of our friends brought her some cool accessories for her costume! She has a cute face mask, peds size, a stethoscope, a hair net and some gloves! Thanks Friend :) I'll leave your name out so if the powers that be stumble upon this, you can't get in trouble :)
I hesitantly joined facebook a couple weeks ago and it is growing on me. Some of the silly applications have also started to grow on me. At first I thought the cyber garden idea was just silly and the puppy that you feed? As if I need another mouth to feed! However, both have proven to be a bit addictive, not for me though! My kids LOVE them! Abigail weeded Lisa's garden this morning and sent a few people another plant. Millie cracks up at the puppy, we have to spend so much time on it, finding other puppies to feed and pet just to keep her happy. She giggles and yells at the computer! She calls all of the other puppies "baby" but when the black labs come on, she yells "Elbo!!!" which is what she calls Elbert. It is pretty darn cute!
Enjoy the pictures from Harrison's various birthday celebrations! Next year I am declaring it a party free year!
Ok, I just discovered why I am going to like blogger better than myspace! I clicked a tab to check something out and when I returned, my blog had cleared! This has happened on myspace before and there was no way to retrieve the lost information! With the autosave function on blogger, all I had to do was retrieve! Yeah! One less gray hair for me today
