I can't believe I am still awake. We had Melody's birthday party tonight and the total children count came to 30. No, I'm not counting men who think they are children in there, that was just her cousins and friends. I'm exhausted. Luckily, the party was not at my home but at a "fun center". Add on the adults that came to and I think the final count was close to 60 people. Melody is loved. She came to the right house when we adopted her. For the most part, Melody behaved herself. She did have to have her "little girl moment" and had to cry something out but after that all was well. There are a couple of photos that wouldn't download off my camera and I didn't notice until it was too late. I think my camera went into "sleep" mode while I was downloading the photos. If I get a moment and think about it, I will download the rest of the photos and add them to the slide show.
I have a few "Thank You!"s to issue. The first one is to everyone that came. When I asked Melody who she wanted to invite she said "everyone". The second one is to Heather. Thanks for taking care of cutting the ice cream cake while I took care of other things. To Becky and Lorena I owe a big one for helping to clean up and get everything to the car.
Some of the time the kids were playing I wish I could have caught it on video. Watching my nieces and nephews launch themselves in the bounce house and get air time. Beau's air time was really impressive. All of the kids red faces from playing hard were really cute. It was a great time had by all who came.
Within minutes of arriving at home, Melody pulled out her new sweater from Aunt Katie and put it on then fell over asleep with it on. I hope she doesn't get too hot tonight and wake me up to help her take it off.
And yes, those are my nephews dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Cute, huh?
