American in Norway

Party went off without a hitch today.... I think the LUAU theme was a big hit... at least the Norwegians can not say we are not original in our themes :-) Managed to throw together a FLIP FLOP cake at the last min.... I was pretty pleased with the end results.... NEXT year however... I am going to be a bit more organized & start planning ahead of time... hee hee.. (I say that every year) We had ice cream sundaes & I really enjoyed getting to know all of Eva's new classmates... what a lovely bunch of girls. I am PRETTY SURE I FINALLY have some DOWN TIME... S.I.G.H....... Wish I could end this post with something witty... but at this point... 4 hours of sleep, having had 15 kids over & a husband out of town... well my brain is pretty much MUSH.... Night all....

Tomorrow is Eva's birthday party... FINALLY...poor thing... normally I am sooo on top of the birthday party thing... it is one of my favorite things to do... but this year... Well, we have had a lot going on, & we wanted to wait until after school started so that we could invite all of her new classmates... These were the invites... wh ich I was really pleased with.... But it seems I have kinda dropped the ball on the cake this year... 18 hours until the guests arrive & I have yet to decide on a cake! eeeekkk & y'all know how much I like winging a cake at the LAST MINUTE ... So when I should be baking... here I sit...dreaming... of what I would LIKE to make.... maybe in my next life I will have time to take some cake decorating classes I will let y'all know what I end up with at about 2 am tomorrow morning... LOL WISH ME LUCK!
