Simple Math...

12 Children
1 Wedding in 10 days (still double digits for 14 more hours)
6 roasts to order for hubby to cook for reception
11 children participating IN their sister's wedding
6 children starting new curriculum in 14 days
3 hours worked as secretary for home business
24 hours full time mum
10 pumpkin loaves to cook for reception
5 cups of dulce de leche to make... for reception
1 head dress left of three to make
4 baskets to stain and decorate
1 missing diaper bag located in West Virginia, ships home today...
+ X number of unknowns yet to be discovered

= brain dead and little to no blogging these days.

So my apologies to my faithful readers. You will be rewarded with the equivalent of THOUSANDS of words when I post wedding pictures.

In the meantime, keep this brain dead mother, who keeps calling the ring bearer the Flower Boy, in your prayers.

(P.S. My husbands doesn't think I should tell the bride that the above mentioned ring bearer CUT his bangs last week. WHAT do you think?)

WOW! I wish I was around to help you :)

Can't wait to see pictures, and no, don't tell the bride. She has enough on her mind! :)

I think your husband's advice is impecable.

Now that is going to be one big wedding party ! I commend you, Jenny, for not leaving any siblings out! What love that shows !
Good Luck on all the preparations, eighteen years ago my husband and I did our wedding on a very small budget which forced us and family volunteers to do many things (flower girl baskets,bouquets, church flowers, head pieces, decorations, etc.) ourselves ,instead of paying a professional or better yet letting a coordinator handle it. Now that I look back these things have given me some of the fondest memories. Also, to this day I still get compliments on how beautiful and "perfect" my wedding and reception were. It was stressful but worth it. Try to enjoy this hectic time . Can't wait to see the pictures !

¿Really 12? ¿And you also like "dulce de leche"? We must have something in common.

Why don´t you visit our uruguayan big family blog: http://siuvers.blogspot.com/ ? You will enjoy it.

And the best dulce de leche is Conaprole!!!!

Christi:

Llegué a tu página a través de un post que pusiste en Creative Minority Report (CMR) el 11-6-07. Y allí desde otros blogs familiares a los cuales me ha ido llevando la red.
Felicidades por el casamiento, aunque me imagino las corridas! Ya habrás visto en http://siuvers.blogspot.com/ todo el revuelo del casamiento de mi sobrina en Francia.
Nosotros todavía no hemos empezado, aunque ya hay uno en camino (fijate en el post del 28 de abril)
Muy bueno lo del cerquillo, aunque tuve que usar el diccionario.
Y sorry por escribir en español. Pero ya veo que tenés traductor gratis.
