I've had a busy couple of weeks! I threw one of my girlfriends a surprise 30th birthday party. It was a lot of fun, but oh so much work.
I had been planning this for awhile. I'd say since back in December. I wanted to blog about it so bad but didn't want to ruin the surprise for her just in case she reads..Don't think she does, but you never know:)
I had to talk to her husband and the only way I could do that was to stop by his football practice and get his ok. He was excited as he wanted to do something special for her. I talked with her mother in law and a few friends here and there.
So I started out asking her hubby who she was the closest with. His answer..well you mainly..Great!! So I started to plow through all her friends on facebook. Got a lot of addresses and made a cute invite. Got the invites out and the rest was pretty easy.
Cleaning the house was a challenge. Always is with 3 boys. I think I have realized that I will never be Martha Stewart. I'm to unorganized for that. Hopefully things will get better as I am still working on it. I used to be more organized but having kids really took that away.
So Friday we went out to dinner. We were going to go to Chilis..but they were PACKED. So we ended up at IHOP. Word of advice..don't ever get the milkshake there..3.99 for a regular drink sized chocolate syrup and icecream shake. To top it off the waitress acted offended when we mentioned that was a lot for such a small shake.

So we enjoyed our small shake and ended up coming to my house. I told her I painted my kitchen and wanted her opinion. As soon as we walked in got this loud Surprise!! For her..she was so shocked and didn't know what to say. I had made Chili and we had appetizers and it was really great:)
