alive and kicking

We are in our new home but are faced with lots of home improvement work to do before we are finally settled.  We have lots to do before the end of May when we will have out of town guests and a possible graduation party at our new place.

Also on the calendar...an Italian themed party to be held in our back yard at the beginning of June.  I better get back to painting walls - it will be party time before I know it. 

we temporarily interrupt this party for this...

We are moving (we as in me, the husband and my four kiddos)  We are trying to get our house on the market in the next week so I'm trying to do 2 - 3 months of work in a week.  Thank goodness for the woman that birthed me -  she flew in to help clean paint, decorate, etc. so that people will want to throw down more cash and buy my house.  Love ya mom!

I promise to get back to blogging as soon as possible - just a bit more cleaning and painting to go.

Can't wait to move into a bigger house and throw even bigger parties - yeah for the new party house!
