The Big Birthday Bash!

oh ok - neat - it loaded all my pics to one side.
Let's see how this blogger bot thing in picasa really works. This could be a very interesting post to say the least!
Anyways - the party was a blast!
I was not quite as prepared for it as I had hoped to be - only in that we were throwing the cake together still as guests were arriving, and i wanted to have all the balloons up everywhere so kealey walked into a tinkerbell wonderland when she came home. She was still pretty impressed with it - so much so that our kitchen is still decorated with purple and pink streamers and there are bits and pieces of pink and purple various paraphernalia everywhere around this house!
But it was so worth it! In this first picture - you can see the happy birthday girl with her big present from grandparents and my sister - her princess table lamp that twirls and sings or some other such silliness. She loves it. Plus it means I can stop turning on her stupid closet light every nite - so it's all good in the hood!
In the next picture - the other big hit gift of the day - from me and her sissy - a Sky Dancer. Now this one came with a bonus DVD. The DVD was made up of a few cartoons that some poor soul probably tried desperately to market to some broadcasting network and failed miserably. This DVD is the FRUITIEST thing I have ever seen. Basically this green bearded dude was the Sky King, but his evil brother "Sky-clone" destroyed the Sky Kingdom, but not before Sky King sent away his Sky Queen who came to earth and is known as Skyla. She runs a dance academy called Hi Hopes Dance Academy (arent you shocked there is no sky reference in the name? I was). Anyways - she picks her best five dancers from the school to be her Sky Dancers, and come with her to Sky Kingdom to rebuild it.
Oh my gosh I can't believe I watched the whole thing. But I didn't want my kids watching some utterly freaky new age crap about how we can all sprout wings and fly. Anyways - besides being utterly banal and mind suckingly retarded, it was'nt too new agey - so they can watch it. The toy itself is a deadly weapon. You pull on the rip cord and this doll goes flying off in any direction. There are marks on our ceiling from Ben and I apparently pulling the rip cord too hard and having the doll go shooting up in the air. Next we see a completely unmake=upped mommy and baby girl enjoying the birthday cake that got slapped together minutes before the party started. I was unmakeupped for this very reason. Nice. And kudos on the fat rolls too. Good lord. I need some serious bariatric surgery or SOMETHING. Gross. Gag a Maggot. Ok - enough self berating in this post. I am glad I just got INTO one picture.


Next shot is of Karissa enjoying these god-forsaken horns that came in the pinata. Six children blowing these horns is enough to make you want to slit your wrists open with a dull spoon. I needed a serious shot of gentleman jack and a few tylenol thrown in for good measure. Horns got quickly replaced by candy.
The pinata itself was the life of the party. EVERYONE loved the pinata. And yes of course the last string is the one that opens the trap door.
But kealey just keeps going on and on and on about the fricking pinata. So i am glad I shelled out the extra bucks for the kit that included the tinkerbell pinata since there were NONE to be had in this area.
Notice my nail polish in the pic of me and kealey and the cake? it is tinkerbell green - JUST for my baby girl. The girls in the nail salon thought i was nuts. But I had to do it. Kealey appreciated it and that is all that really matters.

Anyways - It is almost time for ballet and we are going to be late AGAIN - so i will post more later - but thanks to everyone for asking how the party went and for the prayers for my sanity - they definitely helped!
Thank God we only have one birthday a year right? Cause i think kealey would have definitely done this every day for like two weeks straight if i let her!

Ciao bellas - back for more lata!!!!
