Party Preparation

I’ve been busy this week getting ready for an adults-only party we’re hosting tomorrow night.  Menu planning, purchasing supplies for super-top-secret party games, testing recipes for Watermelon Margaritas (flop) and Margarita Popsicles (hopeful), and doing important things like making a crafty new wreath for my front door and thinking about how much more awesome the party would be if I could redecorate my mantle.  This is EXACTLY why I don’t host big parties very often.  I get a little crazy, and feel the need to be Martha Stewart sans a staff of hundreds to do my bidding.  Also, energetic almost-3-year-olds aren’t really interested in party planning, as it turns out.  They are much more interested in splashing in rain puddles, hunting for slugs, and pretending to be Buzz Lightyear.  So we’ve been doing a lot of that, too.  It’s crunch time now for my party prep, so I’ll be back with a new post on Sunday!
