Its been awhile!

I just realize how busy I have been I haven't posted to my blog in a week now. Just to recap the rest of last week was a race against the clock to have the house ready for the party by Sunday. I seriously don't know what happened with Vinny and I we went nuts; cleaning, scrubbing, throwing stuff away (my personal favorite) , and shampooing the rugs. It was like spring cleaning extreme!

Now that is not to say my house is a pig pen, but we just went the extra mile and now we are all set for the fall. Now we won't have to do some of the big cleaning (shampooing the rugs) until Thanksgiving.

By Sunday Morning Vinny and I had been going now stop and we were beat, but we didn't let that stop us. Vinny was cleaning the grill and it broke - off to home depot to pick up parts, quickly get back home (fingers crossed) put the grill back together before everyone arrives. I picked up Gina's balloon's the night before - big mistake. She woke up Sunday Morning to deflated balloons. She had tears in her eyes - so like any mom would do - off to IParty I go ( in my tee shirt and sweats) Not a pretty picture - No shower yet - and get new balloons. Return back at the house by 11;35am and everyone was coming at Noon!! Jump in the shower (oh but first Joey's tired, bring him upstairs and put him down for a nap) Ok now, jump in the shower and jump out, get dressed and head down stairs - people were arriving. Just made it in the nick of time! Everyone seemed to have a terrific time and I couldn't have asked for better weather. It was beautiful day!

My Gina however, didn't seem to enjoy the day all the much, she was very shy and didn't like being the center of attention. She found it hard to deal with all the people calling to her and wanting to spend time with her. She didn't want to be sung too, or open presents at first so that was a little tricky to get around. Once she relaxed we were able to get her to open her presents.

She loves all of her presents and has had a ball this week playing with each of them. Thank you to everyone for being so generous.

Pictures to follow soon! I have to track some down. I didn't take a picture the whole day, to busy being the hostess. But I will have some soon.

Have a terrific Wednesday!
