Well, I can not believe that it's almost time for me to leave for Silver Bella!! I'm finally packed.... that's a small miracle in itself. Over the weekends around here, my husband works a lot. So, while I'm gone, my brother and his fiance are coming over to take my role. Adreane, his fiance, even took off work so she could devote all her time to my kids! Seriously, I am going to owe her big time! They will not be spending the night, but, she'll be here bright and early to start the day and here until daddy gets home. Since they'll be spending so much time here, I wanted to make the house a little "extra pretty". I picked up an extra dozen of roses at the market this week. That way, I could scatter a few smaller arrangements around the house as well too. Unfortunatly, they did not have lavender roses... her favorite. But, I picked up her next favorite color... pink. I also was sure to pick up a new Mrs. Myers candle in lavender.
Pretty flowers!
I placed these two on the kitchen table along with a bottle of French Lemonade. My brother's always loved his lemonade. I also want to make a pitcher of lavender infused water yet....As for right now, the house is clean and the laundry.... caught up.
I want to make the few days I'm away, as easy as they can be for everyone at home here. So, I prepared some simple fare ahead of time that can be easily served up for lunch and dinner. I could not resist having some chicken salad on top of Romaine for myself, as well. I made a big batch of chicken corn soup. That can be put on the stove and reheated in a jiffy. Prepared a few sandwiches for the big girl's school lunch too.
I think these, will make everyone a happy camper. A big ol' plate and stocked cookie jar of everyone's favorite... chocolate chip. Some with, some without nuts. Like I said, keep everyone happy. A certain three year old could not resist snatching one of these babies.
I picked out the girls' school clothes and weekend clothes. Because, "girl's clothes don't make sense" according to my husband. Laid their dresses out for their cousin's party too.
And, even though Little Man's clothes make sense... I went ahead and picked his clothes out too along with his outfit for the party. Just doing my job to keep the hubby's sanity. There's plenty of lists around the house too. Who gets picked up when and who gets dropped off where. I'm sure you guys know the drill.
