Got up early and left Steve sleeping. Picked my Mom up and took her to get her hair done. Always interesting observing cosmetologists at work. They really are their own species, I think and everyone seems to have a tattoo these days. Well, I'm getting kinda random now. FOCUS, Darcy. Sorry. Got back to my sister's house around 10:30 or so and things were already moving at break-neck speed. Boy, can SHE lay it on for a party.The cutest EVER posterboard showing his "life so far", out-of-this-world macaroons, choclate dipped pretzels, miniature hamburger-like cookies, cupcakes adorned with M&M's with Dan's face on them, not to mention the cute photo for the tables and even Viewmaster reels with pictures documenting important moments in the kid's life. Whew! Potato AND macaroni salads, watermelon (shark-shaped, of course), veggies, baked beans, and hamburgers and hotdogs!Inflatable bounce house in the yard...check. Tents, tables, and chairs set up....check. Snow cone machine...check (that was MY station!) She had it all under control....or as "controlled" as could be that is. Bring on the guests!!! I went back to pick Steve up from the campground. He was sleeping!!!!! How can he sleep with all the excitement??? We headed BACK to the party and realized we had forgotten the boy's gift. Grrrr! Turned around and went back to get it. Had THE BEST TIME seeing lots of long losts..... a second cousin I hadn't seen since he was like maybe 5 came all the way from Canada! (All I could think of was how much his coming would have pleased my Dad. Made me miss him even more than I was already missing him.) Saw so many people that it's almost hard to remember. Great, great fun. We didn't leave until 9:30 p.m. and there were STILL some teens hanging out. Nice, nice day. Well done, Don and Lynda!
