Sunday Into Monday

Yesterday was very busy. We had a mini get-together in honor of my brother-in-law's birthday. So I was busy all day. I baked the cake in the morning, then worked on the meal in the afternoon. The get-together was planned somewhat last minute. Well at least last minute in my opinion as I usually plan parties at least 10 days prior. This was planned I think as of Friday. So yeah, slightly short notice. ;)

Anyway, a good time was definitely had by all, even Landon. Landon loves his aunt and uncle. Oh man, he's crazy about them. He had tons of fun all evening long. He turned into a tired ragdoll around 2:30 AM, being passed back and forth from my lap to Brad's lap. But after 2:30 AM, every time anyone got up to go outside he mustered up a little more energy to follow. I think Piper was the only one that didn't necessarily need a get-together last night. She spent most of the time hiding in the laundry room lounging on the bed she used to share with Simon.

For part of the entertainment after dinner we had a marathon of a new sitcom we recently started paying attention to. Of course there were a couple games played too during the evening. The "evening" ended around 3:30 AM. Needless to say we are all tired today. Well all except for Piper. Clearly, Piper didn't get the memo to let mommie sleep in this morning, at typical rise and shine time Piper was at our bedroom door meowing loudly. I would like to add Landon did not rise and shine this morning until 10:15 AM. He slept in! Like I said he was going and going last night with boundless energy until the middle of the night.


Here's the pic I was going to post as the Quick Snap Sunday pic...Early yesterday morning I had to make a quick run to the store for a couple items I forgot and snapped this pic. It's AUGUST! AUGUST! I don't mind seeing pumpkins and Halloween chills and thrills once September arrives but August is a little early. Actually I think Halloween stuff shouldn't appear in stores until after Labor Day. Because Labor Day for as long as I can remember has been the marker as the official yet somewhat unofficial "end of Summer".  Side note...why is it when you are hosting a dinner party or any kind of party that you always forget an item or two? Grr! For me it usually happens because I originally think there's enough of a certain ingredient in my pantry and as it turns out there isn't enough of that particular ingredient so I'm running to the store for some extra spice or dark brown sugar instead of going with light brown sugar or whatever. Always seems to happen!
