I am free anytime after 11:00 tomorrow. In fact, I'll stay in LJ for it. David has to work so I don't think he'll be able to make it unless it's in the evening after 5. But I'm good.
This is awesome!!

My husband's bike is down so hes been taking my car to work. So I don't think I can make it at 11 tommorow. I'd have to do three round trips in the car and I don't think the kids could handle that. Could we do it later? Like 6 or so? Then I can take the car when he gets home and he'll have the kids.

No joke I don't even know what to wear - and I am trying to figure out how I am going to get us all there and not be cursing and sweating and then my kids will prob run wild and crazy in the playground area - the headline will read:

6 works for me. I'll be wearing a pair of jeans and a nice shirt more than likely. Nothing out of the ordinary, but still something nice to show up for photos in. And I think David can make it at 6. So that'll be good.
So hopefully all six of us will make it there. I'm so stoked about this.

Oh good, I'm so glad you posted b/c I got the message you sent me about him taking off lunch AFTER I had called Mary with 6:00pm.
She said to show up and do what we normally do and expect to be interrupted a lot with her questions! lol
I will prob be in something casual as well - like you said, jeans/capris with a nice shirt. Not too fancy but not slobbish and cros your fingers I make it there without getting peanut butter or snot smeared on me! haha
You'd think having all day to prepare would be a good thing.... hahaha
I hope we hear from BloodAlchemist soon!

good. did not want to have to get all dressed up since I'll have to get ready while watching the kids then jump in the car as soon as Bubba gets here. And Jarrett is getting over being sick and not in the best of moods so I might have snot or something on me. lol
Oh and everyone look at my word count! I've done nearly 5K today. my fingers hurt. lol
