The bridal show is done! The work isn't quite but we are making some changes so it should be less work from now on and we can hopefully manage not to ignore our kids while we plan away. I think we have just worked too hard to be nice and make ourselves available, which sounds great but probably is not the smartest business move as it creates so much work and I think in the long run has just made more work for us. I finally finished the brides lists tonight and will hopefully have those out tomorrow. All in all we worked with 105 vendors, 20,000+ square feet, an exhibition company, a venue, a tent rental company with two mega tents, a pre-event reception with 100 guests, the event planner sent from above, almost $10,000 in prize giveaways and probably 500+ guests at the show. Praise Jesus it's done. Not that I don't like it when things are in full swing but my goodness is it a ton of work! Signed our 2011 Arizona Weddings campaign today and working on the 2011 renewal info and then breathing for a few days before starting all over again. Ahhhh...
Today Brooks is in Baltimore visiting some friends and I am enjoying the babies all to myself. Taylor has pajama day at school tomorrow and is insisting on wearing his Wall-E "jamas". I might pack a spare set of clothes just in case. He also gets to go to the book fair with his class and pick up some new books. We went on Wednesday after school and he picked out a book on space and another on the weather. Jasmine chose two Barbie books and a "Dolly" (Ariel) book, which we have ready about two dozen times.
On Saturday we are having a movie play date with Kat and are going to see the Legend of the Guardians for the sensory friendly showing. Then back home and maybe we will put up some Halloween decorations.
