We were invited to 2 birthday parties just on Sunday alone!
Both happened to be neighbours as well.
The first was held at Fidgets at Turf city. We were there last year too. This time it was for Lynn's 4th. I think Madison had a great time. Last year she needed to be accompanied up and down the indoor playground, but this time she was off with Lynn.
Annika was invited too, and we were all set to take them both but right smack on Sunday morning she develops a fever.... when Madison got dressed and put on her socks to go, Annika went and put her monkey socks(her favourite socks!) on... I felt so sorry that she couldn't go! Of course she was crying and screaming when we left. We did however, get a goody bag for her. Of course it's like the best present ever now.
After we got back from the first party, we went downstairs so Madison could go for a swim. Of course it happens that preparations are in full swing for another party, and when the neighbour saw us he invited us to his daughter's 7th birthday!
This one was an eye opener! The usual suspects of cake, helium balloons and food AND.. a 3 hour magician show! 4 guys, 'theatre' backdrop, glitzy lights and a live bird! After 1 hour, I started wondering when the show was going to end... then the entertainers told the parents to start eating while they were entertaining...
After WE finished our meal they had a short break for the kids to eat.. then it continued!
At 8pm I took Annika upstairs to give her medicine and then came back down thinking the show would be over. It wasn't! Then they had cake cutting, complete with popping confetti! At that point I thought, ok.. get a slice and we can go home... but no! Pinata was next! The entertainers got the kids to go back into the function room, line up to take turns hitting the penguin pinata!
I didn't think Madison would want to participate, surprise surprise... she went back in. (groan) And she actually took a hit!
2 parties in 1 day. Without a nap the entire day.
But.. I had a peaceful night last night! (1 heavily medicated sick kid, 1 KO from an entire day of partying)
