One small step for (wo)man.

I'm finally getting a chance to post about the Kid's Birthday Week. We had a small party at home on her birthday, and then a party on the weekend with all her dorky little friends. It was exactly what I had hoped for -- relaxed, non-theme-y, fun, in a really serene and pretty setting, with good food and balloons. As predicted, the weather was completely uncooperative; humid and rainy, and I was SO happy we got the indoor/outdoor space I wanted. It was huge, and there was plenty of room for tables and a big food table, and a play area for when we needed to drag the toys and games indoors until the skies cleared up again. The kids were fun, the parents were cool, and no one broke anything.

All in all, a great time.

And the soundtrack ROCKED!

A) Good God, she's ready to start dating!

B) Thanks to you, I just had to drag our Ikea play tunnel out for Dom to crawl through - it's past midnight, and he WAS heading toward bed (and if he doesn't go down soon, I may come down and camp out in your play tunnel).

C) You SMASHED HER FACE INTO THE CAKE? Bad Mommy.
