Sweetheart Saturday!

On Saturday morning I got up REALLY early! Maddy was performing with her jazz band in a town about an hour away at 8:30am and I had a lot to do before Meri and I could leave home.

They did awesome! This was the first time I'd heard Maddy play the accordion, but it was kind of quiet anyway. Don't know why that is... I guess she's shy.
When we got home late morning, I got back to work getting the house prepared for the upcoming baby shower. More about my miracle cleaner Wednesday! Let's just say my carpets haven't looked this good, since.. well... forever. Well, I exaggerate. 3 years maybe.

Meri and Tiffany went swimming and then Meri went to an overnight birthday party. Tiffany worked like crazy getting the cupcakes made and frosted. She made 78! Being that we had invited a LOT of people and it was an open house, we wanted to be prepared. Didn't know how many to prepare for, so better to be safe than sorry...

Around 4:30, I went over to Maddy's friend's house where the pictures for the Sweetheart ball were being taken. The girls and their dates were going out to eat before the dance, and I wanted to see them in all their glory.
Even tho the zipper was hand stitched in, it held! She looked beautiful.
They DID have shoes! They're just sitting by the door...
Her friend did most of the girls hair from info she found on Pinterest.com.
More merriment about Sunday tomorrow. What's that old saying? "A story about Sunday is worth a hamburger on Tuesday?"

That doesn't sound right.
