Today is the day Ava has been waiting on for six months. Many a guest list has been drafted for this day. Today was her "five birthday party".
Twelve children five and under descended on the McDougall household. Each child was dropped off by their parent who gave me a wink, a "have fun" and skipped back to their car.
Fifteen minutes later I started to wonder what in the hell I had signed up for.
I have to say that the mess was minimal. Kids under five don't have much of an attention span. No sooner they all herded up the stairs, somebody would say "let's go downstairs" and they were back down the stairs to the living room. This went on for two hours.
A little while later, I heard Ava telling her friends where to sit and where not to sit. I told her not to be bossy and she told me that she was just posing her friends for a picture.
Like mother, like daughter.
I don't know what's funnier - the uneven lipstick coverage or the fact that she looks like she only has one leg in this picture.
Please note: I am not implying that there is anything remotely funny about only having one leg.
One more shot from today of a pretty cute Tinkerbell cupcake tower. Thanks to Checco for the design and a big thanks to my mom for the delicious cupcakes. We're on a roll with these things. I might just make it through my kids' entire childhood without learning how to decorate a cake.
Ava's planning for her "six birthday party" has already begun.
