Things to do, Things to do....

We had my daughter's birthday party here the other night.
It was so much fun. We made "designer"T shirts for the movie and ate hamburgers off the grill.
Since I have three teen boys, mostly we have boy parties around here. Lots of shoot'em up video games with lots of shouting and (pretend) fighting. I hate the "boys will be boys" argument, but it is in their natures to to wrestle and shout and compete. In ten years time that will transform itself into protection for their families and the ability to compete in the world.

But, when we have girl parties, we go all out around here.(not that we don't for the boys, but they want different things, again that boy/girl gender difference thing) SO...
We (hubby(isn't he a great dad??) and I) went to see the premiere of Eclipse at midnight with 9 preteen girls. Now, the Twilight movies aren't my cup of tea, but you have to love a character who says, NO! I won't have sex with you before marriage, even if he is a demon/vampire/soulless creature. I grew a little soft spot for Edwaaaard that night. Just a little one though. And then, after the movie, we had a sleep over.

I am glad that I have gotten to be the mother of both boys and girls. I have learned so much about both genders that I never would have believed if I had not had both. And, I am glad that I had more than one boy because my boys are all really different in personality.

Anyway, I had just gotten my sewing area cleaned up and all ready to sew on when the party happened and now, everything has been shoved onto that desk (since it was a clean area, of course) and I have to start all over again. That seems to happen a lot around here.

But, I did get the sewing pegboard up. It looks fantastic. I am still working on the pegs though, so no pics yet. But it isn't quite ready to show the world yet.

I also got the materials for all of my upcoming projects at Home Depot. I got the boys' tub scraped free of yuccky old caulk and am going to be adding the new sealant and fix the floor in there and fix the surround.

I have guests showing up tomorrow afternoon, too, for the 4th of July, so I have to get all of that sort of stuff done too. I have about 800 irons in the fire at any one time. I wish sometimes that I was the kind of person who dilligently does one task at a time, but I suspect that it is not in my nature either.

Well... off to get some coffee and get started on my projects. It is chilly and cloudy here today after a few days of sunshine. We are supposed to be cloudy/rainy until the 5th of July. You have to love God's sense of humor. He is good in all things!

Have a great day- whatever you do!
