Last Week

Last week was a busy one. We had Rylie's 5th birthday and that usually takes up quite a bit of my time. So I didn't get to post at all last week. I thought though, that instead I could post what all we did last week in prep for her party and just general play time.

First part of our week was spent shopping for party supplies. Rylie had alot of fun running around with mommy picking out supplies for her party. It was fun for me too because she is finally at the age that she can give her input and let me know what "she" likes, instead of just what mommy wants.

 

Later in the week, we went on a play date with some friends at their home. We set the kiddos up outside in the blow up pool and sprinkler while us mamas chatted. We also had some yummy lunch and let the kiddos run wild until they tuckered out!

 

Rylie really wanted a pet that was all her own for her birthday. We already have 2 dogs, a cat and are pet sitting my mother in law's dog as well. So something else with fur was out of the question. My husband and I agreed on a pet fish. We allowed her to pick out her fish and all the decorations that filled the bowl. She was ecstatic. So we welcomed "Tumble-ina Turner" into our family.

 

Friday night, the birthday setup began. I usually decorate the night before that way I can take my time and am not rushing. Overall, I think it turned out great.

 

Saturday finally came and it was the day of the party! We rented a water slide and the girls had a blast going up and down and up and down and up and down! lol!

 

We had a pretty good turn out of little girlies this year. Usually her parties are full of boys, which is fine, but I think she was really hoping for a lot of girls this year, and she got it. :) Here is a few of the girls that attended.

 

Here we are celebrating with the birthday girl. This was just after she finished opening her gifts. She got that snazzy hello kitty chair from our neighbor. She loves it!

 

Sunday was Father's Day and we spent the day loving on the man of the house. We fed him breakfast in bed. The kids made him homemade cards and we blew up the slide for one more day of play with just us. By the afternoon the kids tuckered out and I made a yummy dinner for us as a family. It was a great day and as you can see we had a really good week as well. ;)
