Friday

I spent Thursday getting ready for my neighbors to come over! It has bee really nice to have made new friends in the complex. Jack and I went for a walk for a couple hours and got things for lunch. This was the first time having a lunch and I wanted everything to be perfect. Luke was a big help and cleaned the house and I very carefully decorated my house with my Christmas decorations.

I have done it, my house looked great! Friday morning came and my friend with three kids under five came over. Now I only have baby toys so I had purchased a kid movie for them to watch. I showed them the movie and they both said together "we have that one!" They immediately went to my very careful displays rearranged them. They spent the afternoon very happily watching the cartoon channel. The afternoon was very pleasant and all went well. I should have known though through all my years of teaching young kids that, the simpler the better! My house ended up looking like it had before we started preparing. Next time I Will just go with the flow!
