I like Thursdays. They hold the promises of the weekend to come. You can stay up late on Thursday nights because you can always make it through a Friday. That is what I used to think when I worked full-time. Thursdays are the day before school field trips or spending the night with your best friend. Thursdays have good movie previews on tv. The Office comes on on Thursdays. No, I love Thursdays. There is something good and fun about anticipation. This weekend is Sydney's first birthday party. I have done away with the handmade hats and the banner. I am still trying to find the magnetic photo sleeves for party favors (I am going to write her name on them with a paint pen and put a birthday dress photo in them). I did find a smocked birthday dress for a good price so my main objective was met. Maybe I could go for some crepe paper. Nah. I will stick with balloons. Crepe paper rarely looks good.
Adam has been out of town this week. It is really hard without him. Yesterday, as 5 o, clock approached I remembered that he wasn't coming home. With four teeth coming in on top, Sydney and I both needed a break from each other. A realtor showed our house yesterday around lunch so we did get out. We went to Big Lots and then to the park. I found the cutest easter baskets. I bought three because I couldn't decide. Once I decide I will return the others. Do I want to go Martha Stewart pretty or Pottery Barn cute? I just can't decide. The good part about the Pottery Barn knock off (besides being only $6) was that there were a variety of basket liner colors in gingham (I bought blue and green) and shapes (I bought one oval and one retangular). I could buy two and have one to match for the new baby next year. They did have several colors in the Martha style but I only liked the pale robin's egg blue. The other colors were not as good. If you have older kids, you should really check on Big Lots for your Easter Basket needs. There were these really cute fishing poles with magnetic fish and bubbles and paddles with eggs bean bags to toss back and forth, butterfly nets, and so much more!
