happy birthday mother!

happy birthday to my amazing mother!!!  

we celebrated with more organizing (tons of organizing), dinner with walter and liza and jeff and their kids, stickers, milky way ice cream (have i mentioned that every post since i got here?!), stickers ten times over, and more organizing.  and since my camera went missing tonight during all of the action, these are the only shots i have from today.  i'll have to steal my mom's memory card to get pictures from this trip and maybe liza would be so generous as to email me some of her's from tonight!  

before picture of mom's desk.  although typically the computer keyboard isn't under a stack of papers.  she was mid-organizing.

the organized games and puzzles shelves

the organized toy shelves (with just a few toys missing)

gift wrapping supplies... labeled.

bags and tissue paper... labeled.

just a few of the many stickers that went around tonight.  buddy (walter), mom, dad, baby girl, and i all had at least ten stickers on us at any given point during the night.  same stickers, they just circulated.  and are currently residing on my parents bedroom door.  i'm amazed at the longevity of their tack.

before... after still to come.
