Party Planning Kit
Tomorrow is the big birthday party for the girls and I've got a million things to do. Fortunately, I have today off. By the way, is it wrong to have a celebration on Holy Saturday? It seems kind of blasphemous. Oh well.
It's time for a list:
- Make coffee
- Wake up Doc and Lucy
- Get ready
- Get a 32 ounce Diet Coke for me (perhaps with a splash of Go Ape energy drink)
- Take the kids to Grandma and Pop's
- Go to Target and get gifts for the girls
- Go to Walmart and buy chips, pop, and beads for party activity, candy for pinata (mini Reese cups), replacement ink cartridge for photo printer...also get a few groceries
- Order ice cream cake
- Have lunch
- Pick up the kids
- Send Doc off to the Chiropractor
- Clean kitchen
- Dust living room
- Send Doc off to work
- Tidy the children's room
- Tidy our room
- Clean the bathrooms
- Run the vaccuum
- Have a beer with Elizabeth
- Move the guest bed out of the play area in the basement
- Set up kids tables in the basement
- Bring in chairs from the deck
- Bring up card table and chairs from the basement
- Put the kids to bed
- Have another drink
- Wrap presents
- Try to figure out how to accommodate 25 people, where to put the food
- Set up activity areas for the kids
- Welcome Doc home
- Head over to the Tiki and drink some more
- Fall into bed
- Wake up at 7:30 a.m. with Riley
- Fix breakfast
- Make coffee
- Wake Doc & Lucy
- Take kids to get pictures made (therefore preserving the state of the house)
- Return home by 1:00 p.m.
- Put out plates, pop, chips
- Set out activities at activity stations, stuff and hang pinata out on a frost-encrusted tree
- Welcome guests at 2:00 (except for those early birds who will already be there)
- Order pizza at 2:30
- Eat at 3:10
- Cake at 3:30
- Presents at 3:45
- Goodbye's to all at 4:00
- Enlist the help of Mom, Grandma, and Elizabeth to do the dishes, i.e. throw the My Pretty Pony plates and cups in the trash
- Have a drink
- Play some poker
- Welcome Doc home at 7:30
- Pass out
Wish me luck!

I talked to Elizabeth earlier and she told me about all the planning and preparation you have ahead of you. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy some of this yourself.

I'm exhausted just reading the list.
I will have a nap in your name.
