one big event down….one to go

We had #2 daughter’s graduation party yesterday. Gosh, I am so tired! We had a good time, though. We did nachos and the obligatory cake. The turnout was great and I was ever so proud of her for taking time to talk to everyone there.
Her brother and his girlfriend made the board and it was sooo cool. They really managed to capture some of the funny, unique things of her growing up years.
That’s him with the camera around his neck. The groom-to-be is on the left side of the futon facing.
I totally forgot to take pictures when the biggest crowds were there, but I’m sure those pictures would be boring on here anyway. The ones I do have, I’m sure I’d be in trouble with someone if I tried to put them on here because you know how it is on those candid shots…someone is always doing something funny. I’m often that one.
One of my friends gave her this beautiful little tea set.
When everything was over, look what I found.
Her boyfriend…doing the dishes! He’s a keeper, but I already knew that.
What was she doing?
I think she deserved it. Her cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
And the other kids?
One of her gifts was a Dr. Seuss book, to remind her to keep life simple. The friends who gave it to her are always so clever, she also got oreos and one of those tree fresheners for the car. Why? So when she smells it, she will remember that they are praying for her. :) Anyway, the little guy read all 62 pages to big sis.
I can’t leave without showing what he was up to Saturday night.
And the poor dog had to get into it, too…
Sock progress:
I was almost ready to close the toe on the sock today until I noticed I had done extra decreases on one side and was off 4 stitches after I started the next decrease. I decided to do it right and tink back to the mistake and so far I have gone back at least 3 rows and the mistake is still there. I have to be close because I remember counting previously and being on. No big deal, I’ll finish it tomorrow when I’m not so tired.
