Lots to do this week getting ready for a sort of family "retreat" at camp this weekend. All my brothers and family, and Mom and Andrea are coming to stay, Friday through Sunday. I'm looking forward to some fun; they're pretty crazy when they all get together. But first there is the packing and cooking of food. We're doing some meals and buying some, so I'm on for tonight with crock pot lasagna. It wouldn't be that big of deal if I didn't have to work these last three days, and if I had stayed home and did stuff instead of going to a friend's house until late. :) But it was worth it; it wasn't so long ago that I didn't have that option. So the work can wait! And that led me to decide to just leave church early today and go home and do stuff; so really it's a double bonus.
We're having another birthday party for Parker there too (did I already say that?) and so I'm getting stuff together for that. And even made and decorated a "Curious George" cake for him. Not sure if I will post a picture of it or not...I'm not terribly proud of it. Why didn't I let Mike decorate it? He's the artist. I was almost in tears at one point, but as Andrea said I "pushed through" and it turned out at least recognizable. Parker had a big grin when he saw it so that is what counts. Although my brothers will probably laugh at it. :P Parker is of course excited and asks me several times a day if he can have birthday cake yet. And he can't wait for Nolen and Gabe to come. At least I'm not the only excited one. :)
