aftermath and afterthoughts

As I mentioned before, we had a housewarming party this past Saturday. Despite a couple things, we think it was a success. We had a potluck, but not everyone brought food that said they would, so we were a bit short for that. There were about 40 people over, and probably 15 young kids or so. I set up a play area with a bunch of toys and space to run around for the monkeys, and then set up our big room on the side for the adults. (with alcohol and space to run around)
We had some friends stay over, and the next morning we reminised on the night before. In fact, it reminded me a lot of old college parties, where you wake up in the morning (or afternoon) and start laughing and recapping about what you remember happening. Of course, your memory isn't perfect and suddenly your roommate reminds you that you smashed a teacup with a golf club, poured dishsoap all over the counter, and made out with so-and-so. "Well," you counter, "do you remember kicking that hole in the wall over there? Or stealing that guy's hat? You're a sucker for John Deere hats." Then finally, the last roommate wakes up and yells, "Who wrote f***zifjskd** on my forehead in permanate marker?!!! I have court today you know!!!"
Ok none of that stuff actually happened, but I'm not saying people weren't hungover when they woke up. Or that the house wasn't a mess. Because we have pictures to prove it. No pictures of the actual party, because it all happened so fast we forgot to take any! Just the aftermath. Enjoy.

I painted a Welcome sign on an old piece of wood and propped it up at the bottom of our driveway so people would easily find our house.

and I hung some garland. if you can't find our house with all that, it's your fault.
