when the cat's away...


after a fabulous week in california, we arrived back home on friday night and noticed a few things that were "off" at our house. garbage in the cans, stan's hats were in a different spot, all of the cans in my pantry were backwards, the back blinds were closed... just a few things that were different from when we'd left. well, we didn't think much of it knowing that my mom & dad were stopping by while we were gone, and i figured my sister had turned all of my canned food backwards for fun.

well, we decided to go for a donut sunday after church with a few of our friends, and that's when they handed this special little gift over to us! a little scrapbook they'd made of a party they had at our house while we were gone... complete with a fairytale themed story to go with it! gotta love friends that you know so well, and love so much that they'd go to all of the effort to plan a party at your house while you're away... and SCRAPBOOK it! i heart our friends. thanks guys!

so i figured i'd share a few highlights from their big party without us! i'm shocked that they were all able to keep it quiet until this morning. lol. stan & i told them next time they're all going to have to come with us on vacation. we'll also be plotting a well planned revenge strategy. :)


in the end i went with a picture of torrey for today's p365 pic. it just turned out so pretty i couldn't resist. she's all of a sudden hit that very grown up look it seems. ::sigh::

So isn't it supposed to be my daughter (who is looking so grown up) throwing parties at the house while Noel and I are away? I guess our friends just wanted to break us in for what's to come. Now that's love!! Thanks guys!
