Who Would Have Thought?

When Abby wanted to invite all of the girls in her class to her first sleepover birthday party, I figured that there was NO WAY that all of them would come - five or six tops.

Nine girls have RSVPed.

Nine!

And a maybe...plus Abby makes a possible eleven.

Eleven!

Wow. 

Must have been the invites...

(Yep! Abby and I stayed up a bit past her bedtime making these last week to hand out at school. They really only took about an hour to make, but we got a late start.  Idea from the super cute American Girl Snooze-a-Palooza Slumber Party book.)

Or it could be the fact that no one has invited every single girl to a birthday party all year - let alone a spa night/SLEEPOVER. 

Yes, I am crazy.

Wish me luck!

Last Minute "First Day of Spring" Party!

As soon as Noah woke up this morning, he ran into my room and declared, "It's the first day of spring! We need to have a party, Mama!" 

How could I say "no" to that?

After I picked him up from Kindergarten, we went to pick out some colorful decor, a lemon cake mix and strawberries, and invited some neighbors to come on over that afternoon when Abby got home from school. 

 They devoured the cake, played outside, and decorated with sidewalk chalk -

Yay for spring - definitely a great excuse for a party! Good thinking, my boy!
