Party Animal

This weekend we were very busy! Blake was invited to 2 birthday parties for classmates, had a doctor's appointment, and I was single-mommin' it for the weekend. Tim took a long guys' weekend to play golf in Austin with his brother and friends. It was good to be busy and have plans, but exhausting too! 

Friday was Blake's well check in the morning, and birthday party #1 that night. There were clowns, face painting, pony rides, a magic show, bounce house and of course candy and cake. I didn't take any pictures during the party because Easton insisted on being held the whole time! But Blake had her face painted as Hello Kitty!

As always, Easton was thrilled to be included. I wasn't sure if it was okay to bring little brother along since we're pretty new to birthday parties beyond family and closer friends. But I was relieved to see all the siblings, big and little, that tagged along with all the other party goers too! He did not want his face painted! But both kids rode the pony by themselves, bounced their heart out and had tons of fun. I was glad to meet more moms from school and put Blake's school friends' faces with their moms.

Saturday was party #2, which was a tea party, and fairy-themed! Blake dressed as Tinkerbell and was ready to go!

The birthday girl's house was amazing, with a beautiful tea party table, extra dress-up clothes, tiaras, jewelry, and tons of food. Blake and Easton loved the craft table (not really part of the party but was oh so handy in occupying them!) while we waited for all the other little girls to show up.

Cinderella and Ariel came too and served the pink tea (lemonade), cookies, cake, read stories and put make up on the girls.

 Blake loved Cinderella most of all!

 drinking tea at an adjoining table - Blake had a minor meltdown when she thought I had left her at the party alone. I was just in the kitchen getting me and Easton a snack and drink, but she forgot where I was and broke down crying. We quickly regrouped, and ended up at this table so I could sit behind her on the stairs!

You can kind of see her purple sparkly eye shadow and swirls beside her eyes!

While Tim's been gone, Blake gets to sleep with me in our bed. Both kids fell fast asleep again- play hard, sleep hard! Now I'm ready for bed....
