today was C's birthday party. talk about mayhem!!!
we had it at the zehrs community room, which was great because then the mess was left somewhere not at my house. ha! 10 kids in all, including little K, so 9 girls running around carousing and causing a ruckus. there was one little girl in the bunch in particular that was pretty wild, which is funny because just last year she was meek and quiet.
one little girl was allergic to chocolate, and one little girl had diabetes, which made treats a challenge. i didn't give out any candy in their treat bags but the cake was another story altogether...
they all seemed to have a good time and i had set up some good games for them, but by the last half hour i'd run out of ways to entertain them so i just let them play quietly.
they all sorted through their loot bags, satisfied like little kittens to see crowns and home made play dough and the cupcakes (that i'd had them decorate, tucked safely into containers i also had them decorate), and paper dolls, and bubble rings, and pencils and all sorts of things and the pinata loot they scrambled for when the broke the pinata too. i win when it comes to loot bags, hands down. it's like the miniature version of my crazy go nuts bags i gave out during our gathering.
the cake was a powerpuff girls one, because that is what C wanted the mostest. made at zehrs and they also made pizza and punch and we had bottled watter waiting in punch bowls of ice &etc. it cost less than last year's mcdonald's fiasco which is pretty funny because i was expecting it to cost more.
the little girl with diabetes, she was the type of little girl that would induce people to want to have babies. she was very sweet and polite and wonderful. in comparison to the other girl, who was wild and impolite and sometimes mean to some of the girls. gah. little girls are the worst i tell you i don't care what you have to say i have one of each and girls win in the meanness category. but SO and i managed to keep it from getting too out of hand somehow. somehow.
i'm exhausted and i'm so glad the kids had fun. in the end that is all that matters, after all.
tomorrow is C's actual birthday. my baby girl is gonna be six! SIX I TELL YOU! *sniffle*
