It's Elmo time

Hello Friends ~ It's been awhile since I've posted on The Dish.  Things have been overwhelming around here.  Good news, Eric returned from the hospital yesterday {I'll explain later} so, we'll be home more.
Although this week is filled with planning and projects...
Why you ask...
Well, my baby boy Ryan is turning 2.  His birthday party is this Saturday and we have family coming from as far as Arizona to attend so planning is in high gear.
We are having a Elmo themed bash, he's his favorite.  In a few minutes we {the boys and I} are off to pick Ryan's Cake or Cupcakes from Karen's Bakery {a local fav of mine}.
Here are some inspiration photos:

Besides planning the bash I have loads of other things to take care...

First on my list...

1.  Paint Ryan's room.  His new bedroom furniture arrives on Wednesday and I want to be able to put the finishing touches on his room before our guests arrive this Friday. 

2.  Finish hanging photos that are lying around our house instead of hanging on walls. 

3. Clean the house from top to bottom.  

4. Take The Hubs to his doctors appointments.

5. Finish the Backyard.  The concrete was poured on Saturday and this Thursday they come to seal it... After they seal it, it takes 24 hours to set before we can walk on it... Which means the sprinklers, grass, plants and flowers would all have to be planted on Friday... Impossible it seems, we'll see. 

I could go on and on but that's all the time I have for now.  I can't wait to catch up on all my favorite blogs this week.... 

Happy Monday!
