Getting ready… Day 869 02APR11

We spent today getting ready for Joshua's birthday party. Joshua left in the morning for Taylor and Avery's house so he could have a play date and make it easier for us to get things done. So the work began, setting up a few extra tables, cleaning things up, Renee created an amazing cake. Jamie and Miss Allie arrived after lunch and we got to enjoy Allie's laughter tinkling in the background of all the activity. We took a short break to watch the Bolts play a little hockey this afternoon before settling back in. Joshua came home at dinner time and he had a wonderful day playing with his cousins. A little later on I had to run up to the grocery store and Joshua decided to tag along. Somehow he aged quite a bit between the house and the store and he insisted that he needed to have an electric cart :-) So i walked through the grocery with him buzzing along behind me, it was quite amusing.

This is the same child that runs through our house in his cast:)

In the morning we will finish up the little details and then get ready for all of our friends and famiy to arrive. The weather looks great and it should prove to be a fantastic party. I know Joshua is looking forward to it.
