Those 30 leis interfered with her ability to drink this delicious capri sun, a treat she rarely gets. (We’re a water, milk, sometimes iced tea and rarely juice kind of house.) So, without argument she allowed me to remove the leis one by one so she could savor her juice. We were then able to give them to her guests as intended. My girl likes jewelry, a lot, and a lot of it. 😉
Sadly, some parties are not complete without tears. Poor Heidi learned about the flame of a candle at her birthday party. My hands weren’t quick enough. 😦 She recovered quickly, no blister formed and I am sure she won’t touch the flame of a candle again anytime soon.

She walked into the party room and saw the “necklaces” hanging on the back of each chair. One was simply not enough, she walked chair by chair and put each one on. She would not hear of taking them off. In the spirit of it being “her” day, I didn’t make her. She did, however, reach a point when she was ready to lighten her load and allowed the necklaces to be shared with her guests.

WE PARADED THROUGH THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM! Everyone in the museum clapped to the music as our parade went by, each child playing an instrument of their own. It was too cute!
The things you catch being in the right place at the right time. Fortunately, there was no meltdown following this. I guess she’s used to sharing.
Heidi sharing some icing the toddler way.
Checking out the scenery or planning an escape? Could have been either.
Stand off between cousins. 😉

It was perfect. This was when I should have given her a fresh piece of paper. Beautiful, frame-worthy, abstract art by my precious girl. Instead I let her keep painting.
We did this back in February with the Glenn girls. Is it possible to take one perfect picture of six children under age seven? I still don’t know! Here is the link to this post last year: http://nothingbutblueskies.me/2011/02/19/is-it-possible-to-take-one-perfect-picture-of-five/
