aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

It was an amazing weekend filled with all the sounds of family ... doors opening ... luggage rolling ... laughter ... dishes clanking ... paper tearing ... laughter ...

Late nights, early mornings, lingering goodbyes. Now the very loud silence of an empty house. The dog hasn't moved since Capt. Kindergarten hit the bus. I'm just puttering, picking up, putting up, cleaning up. Post-party recovery.

So of course I'll be getting back to better posting. Watch for lots of recipes and how we made it all ahead of time. Everything was delicious, and shared around several tables, including breakfast this morning before school/work/drives home. And yes, I saved my mom some cake for breakfast. :) You should have seen the looks on the kids' faces as she gleefully sunk the fork through for the first bite. A happy day to you!
