What a busy weekend it’s going to be. I have to get the house ready and all the shopping done for Ariel’s birthday party tomorrow. It’s not a big affair or anything, but it will still take quite a bit of work to pull things together. Thank goodness my mom and my mother in law are helping by bringing some of the food and such.

I’m a firm believer in keeping things simple for a toddler’s birthday. She’s mostly getting clothes from us, and a DVD, not much else, and things we would have bought for her anyhow. Maybe I’m a spoilsport, but I figure she has more than enough toys already, and will be getting more as gifts from others.
