Water Parks and Pink Leopards

This weekend the big girls were invited to two birthday parties.  Little P came along, of course, and slept through most of the events.



It was a Saturday of waterpark fun, with pinatas, lollipops and birthday cake.











Sunday brought a forest party where both M and E were pink leopards and enjoying, you guessed it, some more tasty treats and birthday cake.  Add a few balloons, some loot bags and the whole weekend could not have been more perfect for the girls.















For the harried parents, ferrying around three of them from one part of town to the other was not quite so perfect.  Trying to leave the house on Sunday morning was like a comedy of errors, since all hell broke loose just as we were ready to put on the party dresses:  E had "an accident" (involving poop, I will say no more), M threw up after getting a Tylenol stuck in her throat (necessitated by a mild fever/headache which E had the previous day), and P had a newborn baby "blowout".  As F and I were frantically running around cleaning and changing the girls and scrubbing the living room carpet, getting increasingly more stressed, we finally just had to crack up laughing and remind ourselves that, even though it was a bit hard to appreciate at that exact moment in time, we are very lucky to have three healthy little girls to clean up after and try to get out the door.  All in all a very good weekend!
