1. J and i had our family over for a Mother's Day dinner. we had to set up a table in the craft room and buy extra chairs for the event.
   
2. these are why i haven't been keeping up with my blog.
3. "she only gave me a dollar" - my baby sister's first casualty to the Tooth Fairy
4. we also had to purchase more bowls and napkins
5. the set up...i got these little cute little bowls from Target for a dollar each (cute & a steal!)
6. the hydrangea center piece (got the idea from my friend Meg)
7. yummy banana cream pie that i made myself!
   

all in all, our Mother's Day dinner went smoothly. this was the first time i've ever prepared food for nine people (thank you Stouffer's for making party size frozen lasagna. i'm forever grateful!) so i was really stressed, not to mention this was the first time our parents have met since J and i have started dating. i was worried that they wouldn't like each other, but they all got along swimmingly.

today i stayed home from work sick. yuck! nevertheless, it was nice to stay in my pj's all day...i don't mind not be productive on such a dreary day (i'm afraid we might all float away if the rain doesn't stop!). hopefully i'll feel better when i get up tomorrow so i can work on some crafts!
