PARTY!

So today was Jordan's graduation party. Things were crazy around the Bentley household, but somehow we all made it to Jordan's party and only 15 minutes late. Just to name a few of today's challenges:

1. Accidentally let Jason oversleep even though I was wide awake.

2. Rain, thunder, lightening, and extremely frightened dog.

3. Overcooked 3 dozen eggs.

4. More rain, thunder, lightening, and extremely frightened dog.

5. Dropped approximately 25 deviled eggs onto my kitchen floor (don't tell my mayophobic hubby).

6. Stepped on Ollie's favorite monster truck toy and broke it.

7. Ollie found a piece of walnut that must have jumped ship from my spinach salad on the kitchen floor and promptly put it in his mouth. Time to find out if he's allergic to nuts...

8. Had my towel wrapped around my head so long that 6 different people came to our house for a variety of reasons and everyone of them saw me looking like Mr. Softie.

9. Harry required an emergency bath just as we were walking out the door to the party.

10. Ollie started crabbing for no apparent reason.

11. Ollie's left eye turns bright red and we have no idea why. Pinkeye? Something in it? Walnut allergy? Eventually figure out it was the sunscreen I applied before we left.

12. Jason walks back to our house to retrieve the baked spaghetti that was warming in our oven only to discover the smell of burning plastic. Apparently there was a plastic bottom on the aluminum baking dish and we didn't notice it. Oven and 40 pounds of baked spaghetti ruined.

Even with all this chaos it was still a good day. We had a great time visiting with everyone. Ollie was really the life of the party and wore himself out, at least until the cake and ice cream were served. And most importantly, our house didn't burn down today!

Now the guys are zonked and I'm heading that way too. Long day tomorrow. First church, then stove shopping.
