Today I held a surprise birthday party for my Mom's 65th here at my house. There were more than 40 people in and out of my house, with kids here, there and everwhere (but mostly outside). We were supposed to have showers in the afternoon, but they never came, so I'm ever so grateful for that. It was nice to be able to go outside, sit on the deck and watch the wee ones have fun.
My Mom was so surprised! She thought it was odd that I had balloons tied to my fence. She walked into the house and looked around to see her cousins, the expression on her face was priceless!! I'm so sorry I didn't have my camera at the ready. She had this look, like, what are you guys doing here?!? People came from far and wide to celebrate with us. Mom, I think is so grateful to everyone.
The one downside is that I have lost my voice, like totally completely. I had started losing my voice yesterday night, I was able to communicate with people during the party, but now, it's just a whisper.
Not having a voice has it's complications when you're taking care of two wee ones. The two things I really don't like about not having a voice are: not being able to read a bedtime story to the kids and not being able to sing to them/with them :(
Oh well, it's only temporary.
At any rate, the party really was a great success! Woohoo!!
