One day a couple weeks ago, I was checking the mail on our way home from school and lo and behold, there were 3 envelopes in there. Each girl got her own and they were thrilled to death. The excitement went up a couple notches when we got them inside and found out they were birthday invitations. They carried those cards around all day! They told everyone about being invited to the party. They asked constantly how many more days til the party. The party, the party, the party. It was a HUGE deal. I phoned the mum up to let her know we were coming and to thank her for thinking to give each girl her own card as it had really meant a lot to them. She said it was her daughter who insisted on it and said "but Mum, we NEED three!"
The birthday party was the same day Murray was getting home so it really helped fill the day and distract them for a few hours. We went over around 2 but were a little late as there was a big squabble over who was going to give which gift. Apparently someone had claimed one of them the night before but then changed it around the next day & I didn't know what was what and they already all had cards on them so I told them it had to stay the way it was since the party was already started. Lovey was the one who was upset and refused to come out of the house. She sat in the entryway screaming and crying for 10 minutes. I finally decided it wasn't fair to keep the other 2 waiting anymore and said goodbye to Lovey and started walking the other 2 next door. I cut through the fence and stood in the driveway as Honey & Sweetie headed over. Suddenly, Lovey pops out with her present hollering "I'm COMING!!!!!!!!!!!" Funny how she had a sudden change of heart huh?
We were there for 3 hours and they had a blast running around with the other kids. The mosquitoes were a bit unbearable but those girls were moving around so much, they didn't seem to notice. I had doused myself fairly thoroughly with repellant before heading over so I didn't get many bites but there were so many bugs buzzing around my face it was still kind of gross. I didn't know anyone else so I just sortof stood around for the 3 hours we were there but got to chat with the other mum a bit. Our 4 girls will all go to kindergarten together in the fall so it's nice to get to know them a bit.
The highlight of the party was the piñatas of course and Sweetie had quite an impressive swing. In the picture you can see one guy in the background kindof chuckling at her aggressive attack. She may be full of mischief but she knows how to get what she wants and she wasn't holding back any with that bat! Most of the little kids gave the piñata more of a poke but just look at this two handed technique! She got good solid connections that sent the piñata swinging up and around the board it was hanging from. Small but mighty, hear her roar!
