A Birthday Party???

So we decided to let Allison invite some of her friends over for a little birthday party. She invited the kids that go to the same sitter and the girl who lives next door to us. Two kids are on vacation (it is Spring Break week for us), two kids never responded so we weren't sure if they were coming or not, one boy from the sitter was coming, and the girl next door was coming. This morning Allison had swim lessons at the YMCA at 9:00. We got home around 10:00 and the kids are supposed to come over at11:30. When we walk in the door, the answering maching is beeping, we have a message...it's Will's mom and he's sick, so he won't be coming to the party. Bummer. The long story short, the "party" consisted of Allison and Kalie, the girl who lives next door. Neither one of them minded though and had a blast playing together. They played a few hundred rounds of Hullabaloo...this is really a great game for toddlers and pre-schoolers...even lower elementary school kids...heck, Darren and I even played a few rounds! We even busted out Twister...a little difficult for the 4-6 year old range. They knew their colors, their hands and feet, and even right and left, but their little bodies don't quite stretch far enough for some of the maneuvers required for Twister. They also colored pictures, decorated goodie bags with stickers, and made up some game with balloons. It was a lot of good, clean fun! Seeing that there were only two kids in attendance, we now have an excessive amount of cupcakes in our house which is bad for me! I have an unquenchable sweet tooth! ;)
