Party Prep

A team of machete-wielding men showed up this morning, and our yard is now freshly shorn for the Pescadores party on Friday. I'm trying to track down items that could serve as tablecloths, punch bowls or christmas lights.

The boys have been assigned to figure out what their parents names are (they really don't know) so we can make nametags. They're also making original art that we can hang around our patio for the parents to see.

We're trying to figure out how to use the sound system without turning on the incredibly loud generator.

More than anything, we're hoping against hope that the boys' parents will come. TJ will drive to each family's house to pick them up, partly because it will make them feel special, and partly because it's the only hope we have of them showing up.

The boys are so proud of everything they've done this summer, and they're excited to share it with their families. So, everybody think party thoughts on Friday!!!

Prayers will be with you that the families respond in a positive manner and show their appreciation for all the hard work "your boys" have done this summer. Looking forward to hearing how the party goes on Friday.

Love ya,
