Mad Hatter Weekend!!!!

Well my Mati Moo is a 1 year old! All the craziness was worth an amazing party!

Thursday after work I went home anf got changed into work clothes... We laid bark ...pulled weeds ... after it got dark we went home and crashed...Friday morning my sister...her hubby and their 2 kido's showed up to help with the yardwork....we laid 45 bags of bark...scrubbed the patio...washed windows...moved patio furniture....cleaned house...Josh went and picked up...out little train we had... and the tables...chairs...linens... Went home...showered and got ready to run around and do some last minute errands...Friday at 7 we had dinner with our family. We tried to get Mati to eat her cake....instead she wanted to feed Mama...so I ended up with chocolate cake on my face and Mati looked great... we left...did a little shopping...picked up the waterslide...we by and saw some old friends that closed on their house...then we went and dropped off balloons...picked up some stuff from a great friend and headed home long enough to change clothes and head to my moms.... We had 3 dozen cupcakes to make, hang a funky swag above the table area, finish up goody bags, wrap Mati's gift from us...we ended up crashing at about 2...up by 6:30... We had so much rain I had to clean the patio all over again....

Saturday was full of chaos ..... Josh helped until he had to pick up the cake...flowers...ice...So that left mama to delegate...Man was I bossy....BUT everything looked amazing... We had huge playing cards on the fence..... jumbo cards on the tables..covered with tulle..top hats...tea pots...flowers... 7 bowls of candy...cotton candy machine....waterslide....bounce house... ok so her goody bags were in brown paper bags shaped like tea bags...with a string and thank you note attached...in a bucket that said "Mati's sweet tea"....her cake was awesome...lots of compliments.... We had over 50 people show...I am just glad my mom's house was big enough so everyone was scattered... All in all the party was a huge success.... everything looked great and Mati got way more toys than she will need. Thank you to everyone that showed up.

Sunday we slept in until 12...it was so nice.. we ran around returning things and putting everything back together. Mati got her front facing car seat yesterday and she loves sitting like a big girl... I have mountains of laundry that need to get done today. We only put together a hand full of toys so daddy needs to get on that....Daddy also returns to school today ... :( We enjoyed our two weeks we had with him. I am so glad he was off and could help us get ready for Mati's party!

I know there is so much more to share put the pictures will do the talking due to exhaustion...I will post them tonight!
