Excitement!!!

This week is going to be a good one! Well, minus all the cleaning and the construction going on and the nausea ;-). Tuesday night my mom comes to stay over for Alivia's Mommy/Grandma and Me Tea. It is absolutely the cutest thing ever. They get dressed up and come ask you to join them for tea and sing the sweetest songs about mommies. I love it!
Then...my friends come into town on Friday!!! My friend/roommate Amanda, her husband Josh, and their son Tyler. Yay! We love it when we get to see them. She is really just one of those once in a lifetime friends, where you pick up where you left off no matter how long you have been apart. I just love her and really wish she lived closer. That type of friendship is so rare. And...how nice is it to have someone around who really knows you...warts and all...and loves you still. I clean and clean, but let's face it, she knows I am not a neat freak. She lived with me...I will say my standards are much higher than when I was in college, but nope, still not a neat freak. Do I put lots of extra love into my cleaning before she arrives? Absolutely, but I am sure I miss things that someone who is more of a neat person would not miss....but I know she doesn't care...she loves me anyway...and won't run from my house screaming or gossiping about me to all her friends. Truly, not many friends like that.

Anyway...we are spending our mother's day weekend together! We are taking all the kids to Busch Gardens (in the Extreme Florida heat) on Saturday. Sunday Josh and Tony are cooking us breakfast, lunch and dinner and we plan on sitting by/in the pool most of the day. Monday we are taking the kids to Disney World. We did the volunteer a day program and are stoked to have another cheap trip there. Lots of laughs, good food, girl talk and kids playing.

Did I mention how excited I am?
