Baptism Weekend!

Riley's getting baptised on Sunday! I am so excited for this event - it means so much to Kevin and I and to our families. But wow - what an event! I can't even imagine what a planning/stressing/cleaning/decorating machine I'll turn into for her first birthday party after seeing myself right now! I even took off work today and had Kevin's parents still babysit Riley so I could spend the day cleaning, getting the house ready, and shopping.

The minute Kevin walked out the door with Riley this morning, I took off. Here is what I accomplished today - all in eight hours, from 8am to 4pm!

• Grocery shopped for party on Sunday
• Bought mulch at nursery
• Pulled weeds, laid mulch
• Mixed up cookie dough, to bake later in the day
• Cleaned bathrooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, entire basement
• Did 3 loads of laundry
• Target trip
• Lowes trip
• Babies R Us trip
• Christian Bookstore trip
• Joann Fabrics trip
• Stopped at post office to ship package
• Showered

I'm exhausted just from reading that! And to think that yesterday I smiled, thinking about the nice nap I'd take halfway through the day. Yeah right! Now I'm just thankful for my mom and mother-in-law who will be helping with food on Saturday!

I can't wait to post pictures following the event!
