Party Time!

So today was the day of the party. We all got up pretty early considering we went to bed at about midnight last night. The girls helped me decorate all the cupcakes, all 48 of them. They got quite creative making their monster cupcakes. We ended up with about 40 kids here. It was a tad noisy especially since the road workers decided to show up at 10:00am to complete a project that had been in the works for over a month. They assured us they'd only be here for about an hour and a half. Approximately 5 hours later they left. The bounce house and cotton candy was a HUGE hit! We had a few near catastrophies with the bounce house collapsing after too many kids barrelled into the same wall. But all was well again after emptying them out and then letting them file back in again. Only a few minor injuries occurred, collisions mostly inside the bounce house but nothing requiring medical attention. Just an "aww are you okay?" and things were fine again. The day couldn't end soon enough though. It was hot and muggy and we were not only sticky from the weather, but also from making the 30+ orders of cotton candy from our sugar happy party goers. The party started at about noon and was scheduled to end at 5pm. The last kids didn't leave until 7pm. Both my sis and I were happy to collapse onto the couch after ordering pizza. The kids had fun, the adults survived so that's all that matters.
