There's so little of it now days! All you parents understand what I mean. By the time you have free time, there is a list of other things you have to get done. Then when you get that list finished, you are too wiped to enjoy your free time so you go to bed! Oh well, parenthood is totally worth it!!
So sometimes I choose to use my free time for blogging. I haven't been doing so recently because I have been pouring my free time into Ben's 1st Birthday Party!! Fun stuff!
Here is how I have been preparing:
1. Trying to make cakeballs - complete and utter failure; paying someone else.
2. Picking out plates and napkins, etc - picked out, but I need to order still.
3. Making his invitations - ok, people told me Photoshop was easy to use for creating invitations. Well, I found it pretty difficult. Never-the-less, after watching several tutorials online and messing around with the program for a few hours, I created something fun, but not fabulous.
4. Figuring out decorations - there's really not going to be much decor and I think I'm ok with that.
5. Planning gift bags - I just want to get a few things for the very few kids we are inviting. Mainly just because I think it sounds fun.
6. Picking out Ben's cake-I'm having a really, really hard time with this! I want to go ahead and pay for something super cute for him to smash up, but I'm not a real big fan of the thought of him putting a bunch of nasty trans-fats into his body. Even if it is just for one day. It just seems wrong, but I'm still torn between that and making him a healthier and uglier cake. I've got time to decide.
7. Activities -just trying to round up a few extra toys door the kids to have to play with... Almost done.
8. Guest list - I had a hard time with this too. Do we go all out with 100 people or just invite family? We decided to keep it super small and intimate with just family and 5 of Ben's favorites. :)
I think he will enjoy his day. I can't believe it is just around the corner!! I'll post pics of everything as it gets closer. When I have free time.
