Madeleine's Hallobirthweenday Party

We survived Maddie's party on Saturday. A house full of 20+ preteen girls was a bit of a challenge but fun. They ate everything in site. You'd think they were teenage boys with bottomless pits of a stomach. Thankfully, my husband Ron played night time outside tag to wear them out a bit (and him too).

The other pics posted is of the day after. The poor balloons have lost their umpf. The pictures I took the night of the party is very pink as the entire living room ceiling is criss-crossed with purple lights & webs. I don't think it photographed too well. You can see some of it in the background in the cake blowing picture.

Pictures the day after

Barnhouse 2009 season finale

Arrgh! I took very few pictures at last weekend's BH season finale & they looked like I took them drunk...and I wasn't! Just a bit busy.

So Timi launched her maiden voyage of a Junking Bus. The voyage began in Snohomish, picked up some passengers in Seattle & Tacoma with a destination of Barnhouse. Along with some fabulous prizes they received a luncheon (catered by moi) and a tour of the incredible home of the BH boys Joe and Jermonne.

Cooking was going smoothly...then it came to crunch time & thank goodness for the help of Heather, Thea, Kim and Lynn. I know without them it wouldn't of turned out as well as it did. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you Joe and Jermonne for being great friends & fabulous hosts.

Bigger pics of Barnhouse with Willow Nest

Sunday I posted a slide show of BH. I want bigger pictures, so here are a few as the slide show does not give the event justice.

My Madeleine with Jack & Lulu. Oh and our hops too!
