Well, the upcoming long weekend's looking busy. For one thing, the Canadian International Autoshow will be on so we have to check it out. It's the only type of trade show that K will willingly go to and enjoy. He also wanted to have a couple of friends over for a sleepover. They decided it should be at his house as he's been telling them the basement's all ready. One poor boy is running a fever at the moment but is hoping he'll be well enough by the weekend to attend! L is also having a couple of friends over that same night. Then we have our dinner party for 12 or 13 people. We decided to put lasagna on the back burner and do some roast meat along with lots of fresh vegetables and herbs instead. It's more foolproof in terms of known ingredients. I did find some everyday gluten free rice crackers that will go well with smoked salmon as an appetizer.
So we were watching the grammies on Sunday and I realized I knew quite a lot of the songs thanks to the kids taking over the radio stations in the car. That's me, staying young and hip!
L is having late practice over the next few weeks for the school play. K has a school ski trip coming up. The house is overdue for a good dusting...I should really get to it. (sigh) Having company over is great initiative for getting the house in order!
Oh, I had 2 near slips on some black ice this morning on my way to the mailbox. I was amazed at my agility, or my time hadn't come! Not great walking weather yet.

Hi Christine
Hope all goes well for your dinner party and you have a lovely (if exhausting ) time.
Oh my gosh I am the same way with the songs. I can sing along because of having The girl and her gf's in the car!
I hope K is feeling better, The girl had it last week it lasted about a day then it was gone so she only missed one day of school/activites but most importantly friends! :o)
All those trips to the gym paid off! Your keeping upright muscles are nice and healthy ;-) Glad you didn't get hurt. That ice is treacherous, isn't it?
Hope your boy feels better soon. And wow--you are a hostess with the mostess!! BTW, I had gluten free rice crackers over Christmas. They were yummy! I am sure your guests will enjoy whatever you prepare for them.
Thanks, Barbara, I'm already stressing!
Mom, everyone seems in good health today! (fingers crossed)
Japra, my kids like gluten free rice crackers too, they come in different flavours.
