When we got home from Disney that Sunday, Tommy snuck out and went up to her school to paint the rock. The next morning she was so surprised to see it.
This year we told Ashlyn that she could have a sleepover party for her birthday and invite 4 girls. She was so excited, she started to think about what friends she wanted to invite. I told her to limit it to just girls, not for any other reason than the list would be too long. She decided on Evelyn, Kayley, Kylie, and Emma. As soon as we set the date and sent out the invitations, she started counting down the days. We almost had to reschedule it when she came home from school on the Wednesday before the party with 102 fever. Thankfully she quickly recovered, as she always does, and was fever free the next day. We did kept her home from school to rest the next day.
When the day finally came to have the party, the Gators were playing Tennessee...meaning Tommy was out of commission until the game was over. So I had first shift...5 to 7. We did a craft (fairy sun catchers...there was a Tinkerbell theme), played musical chairs, ate pizza, ran around upstairs and downstairs, then had cake. Talk about short attention spans. Each activity only lasted at most 10 minutes. After cake, Ashlyn opened presents then finally it was movie time...Barbie and the Three Musketeers. The girls got in their pj's, I popped some popcorn and they settled in the bonus room. All was quiet...time for me to relax. After the movie was over they played and played and played. Time to watch another movie to get ready to sleep...yeah right. Ashlyn was actually tired and was the first to lay down...probably still not 100% after being sick. The others kept playing. When all was said and done, Ashlyn and Kayley were the first asleep by 10:30, where the others were up passed the movie until 11:15. I was exhausted.
6:45...rise and shine. Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast, play some Wii, then the party was over. Definitely a time to remember for us all.
