It's Party Time!

Well, in a few hours anyway. Noah is 8, as of yesterday, and tonight we'll have 5 buddies over to celebrate. I have been trying to get him to set low expectations about his party since I agreed to let him have one this year. I know, I know; that sounds horrible, but I just don't have the energy to do anything over the top this year. He doesn't seem to care or even know what I'm talking about when I say we aren't doing anything elaborate. No themed plates or involved games? He doesn't care. To him, friends+sugar+presents=a pretty great day. I will try my hardest to figure out how to post pictures from our new camera. My technology crutch, also known as my wonderful hubby, is in San Diego for 10 days for more training. I miss him! But back to the party...I have to say that I have one of the most wonderful and thoughtful friends anywhere. After calling her to get allergy-safe recipe info for Noah's cake, Beth adamantly insisted on making Noah's birthday cake for me! How great is that? This woman is the queen of cool birthday parties, and makes adorable cakes! I'll bet her Bionicle-themed cake will even be adorable, and that's hard to do, 'cause those things are uuu-gly.

Have a blessed Friday!
