OH MY GOD

The party is over, thank god. I say that b/c it was the hottest party I've ever been to in my life. As you can see from the first picture, we were the first ones there. If T had had her way, we would have arrived at 9:00 a.m. this morning. It was held at a friends house of the parents of the birthday girl. It was at a large house in coral gables, which sat on a humongous lot. Yes, that is in fact a tennis court you see in their side yard. I suspect that they could have fit 3 in just the side yard alone.


The birthday girl is holding belle's hand in the 2nd picture. She was having a great time. I must confess that T showed great foresight in insisting on the 2nd dress. Snow white didn't survive the bounce house. The red ribbon on the bottom is now 1/2 off. I tried to get T to change into princess shorts and Tshirt, but she would have none of that. Insisted on wearing Aurora...long sleeves and all. I was certain HRS was going to come and arrest me for torturing my child, but there you go. T's hair was actually wet. For the last 45 minutes we were there, I was sure she was about to "turn", and melt down into full tantrum. Luckily, that didn't happen, thank god.
Anyway, I finally bribed her into leaving the party at around 3:00. Told her that if she got into the car and got into her shorts and t-shirt, she'd get a present (the Princess laden loot bag) and an Ariel Cookie. That was that. Into the car she went and she was out cold before we were a mile away from the place. Of course, she not before she filled the car with cookie crumbs that I now have to clean up. She's blissfully napping now.
