Saturday

I love Saturdays. The girls got to bed rather late last night, almost 9 o'clock, so they weren't up before us this morning. Husband and I actually just got to wake up ourselves! There is nothing better in the world to me than that. Then we had our usual pancake breakfast. Yet, another recipe from the "red plaid" Better Holmes and Garden Cookbook. When I found that recipe I couldn't believe that I have ever made pancakes from a mix.



After Breakfast, I gave the girls a bath because I needed to roll Eldest's hair and I knew that those sponge rollers would need as much time in her hair as possible. Poor thing, she is like her mother and has very, VERY hard to curl hair.


Nana and Poppi came by with the tables and chairs for the party tomorrow. Then I made the dips, a chip dip and a fruit dip.


After lunch and naps, it was time to get Eldest ready for her first dance recital tonight. Miracle of miracles, her hair curled! She looked so cute! She did a great job at recital. We are so proud of her. 


Then this evening, we cleaned the floors. We have cherry hardwoods which are beautiful when they are clean, but are so hard to keep that way. We have a Shark steam mop, and I love how easy it is, but it had been leaving my floors kind of filmy and not shiny. This evening I had the idea to use a mopping solution with the steam mop, and the floors look great! I will use that from now on. The house is all ready for the party. Now all that is left is to finish food prep and decorate tomorrow.
