We pulled it off!

My first party that is. Andrew and I worked all day to finish the floor and get our house back to a presentable state. We managed to get it all done and even had a few minutes to spare. The house looks good or at least I think so. I love my hardwood floor. Actually I love my whole house when it is clean. Unfortunately I hate cleaning it. :)

Anyways. I ended up having eight people, which I was thrilled with. I know that I had a great time visiting with everyone and I hope they had a good time too. It is so nice to visit with teachers outside of school. I'm so glad they came. That really means a lot to me. I love getting to know them on a more personal level. I work with a lot of good Christian ladies.

I meant to take pictures of my yummy snacks, but completely forgot. Jill came a little early and made us some homemade hot chocolate. It was so yummy!!! Thank you Jill for the hot chocolate & other things you brought. You are a wonderful sister.

We had sugar cookies that my mom used to make all the time. They were so good. I haven't had those cookies in forever. I got burned out on them because we used to make them all the stinkin' time for me to take to school. My friends & teachers loved them.

I also made PB & Ritz crackers covered with white chocolate. Very rich, but very yummy.

Our non-sweets included mexican pinwheels, a cheese & cracker tray, and a veggie tray.

I must tell you though, that not everyone enjoyed the bookparty. Liberty & Liam were stuck in the bedroom all night. They sat @ the door & cried the entire time. We kept seeing little noses under the door. So sweet. :)

Okay - that's the story of the book party. If anyone wants to order some books still, you can do that online @ www.ubah.com/HOS127848 until the 20th.

I'm off to bed to get rested for church in the morning.

Just a Reminder

Hey everyone! I just wanted to remind all of you about my bookparty. I'm getting a little anxious about it. I've never hosted anything like this before. I'm worried no one will show up, I'm worried about the menu, having more people than my house can hold, on and on. Anyways!!!

For those of you in my area it is next Saturday, November 15th @ 6Pm @ my house. Let me know if you need directions. I really hope you can make it.

For those of you not in my area as well as those of you in my area you can't make it next Saturday. You can shop online! Unfortunately the online shopping doesn't come with my hopefully wonderful food and comapany. I know - takes all the fun out of it. The website is www.ubah.com/HOS127848

They have some really great children's books at what I think is a pretty reasonable price. I'm hoping to earn lots of goodies for my classroom and maybe even some for my future children. They already have their own library. :)


So go ahead. Go the website and get some Christmas shopping taken care of. You know you want to.

It's a Book Party

So after going to Jill's book party I've decided to have one of my own. It was so much fun. Thought I'd share the website so you could all check it out. Obviously if you are in my area I'd love to have you at the party on November 15th, but I realize for some of you that isn't possible. Check out the website. These books are very reasonably priced and make great additions to your classroom, your children's library, or even great Christmas gifts. The website is www.ubah.com/HOS127848 and they will ship directly to your home!
