We arrived safely in Billings last night at exactly 10:00 PM. Mom, Grandpa, Grandma and I managed to get in two games of Pinochle before we went to bed!
Today at lunchtime is the big 'tweety party'! All of the food will be yellow, and there will be tweety balloons, tweety napkins, tweety plates, bowls, and cups, and tweety everything. Papa and Grandpa are not excited.
None of us can believe that we only have today and tomorrow left before we leave Billings! This has been a whirlwind vacation with all of these concerts and stuff. Vacation is almost busier than normal life! If you're getting tired of reading about vacations and concerts and stuff and want to hear about normal boring life (which is anything but boring) just wait a few days!
When we get home, even though we'll be starting school up the first few weeks will be busy and exciting. Papa has his birthday the 17th and he's planning to have a party with some close friends... I'll ask him to tell about that. It promises to be very interesting. The 19th is a HUGE auction across the street from our house and we're planning to have a yard sale, bake sale, and lemonade stand. I'll ask Papa or Mom to give more details about the auction.
This is still VERY tentative, but we might also have a little birthday party for Gloria on a weekend near her birthday on the 25th. (She'll be turning five exactly nine days after she starts Kindergarten!) Of course it would have one of the popular 'little girl' themes... princess, butterfly, fairy (well, probably not fairy), etc. I'm sure you know the list. :) It would be her first 'friends' birthday party where it's not just the family, but some of her little friends. Mom doesn't like 'friends' parties for anyone under 5, but she's okay with the idea of Gloria having a 'friends' party this year.
Also... I almost forgot... Papa and Mom are on our homeschool group's leadership team, and sometime in the first couple weeks (I don't know the date) they're having the rest of the leadership team to dinner at our house. Then there's just the busyness of normal life, of unpacking, of school, of cleaning, of church, of taking care of our kitties (Pippin and Merry, named after two of the hobbits in The Lord of the Rings, also known as 'the Fuzzy Terrors'), of making sure we return all of our library books on time, etc.
P.S. I found my camera in the cooler (I know, strange) luckily not the cooler with ice water in the bottom, so sometime I'll get around to posting some pictures!
