This was a jam packed weekend. Daddy flew out to New Mexico to help our good friend Steve drive to his new home on the East Coast. This left me solo with my three little ladies. No need to worry about keeping them busy because I had the pleasure, and I do mean pleasure, of hosting Charlotte and Henry for first night of Daddy's cross country trek. The 5:1 ratio wasn't so bad! It was the first time the girls had a friend their age sleep over. The girls had so much fun running around after each other and little Henry just toddled along after the excitement. Unfortunately, I was too busy to pick up the camera and catch the many sweet and funny moments.
This morning, we had a full beauty salon operation in our house. We painted finger and toe nails, rolled our hair in curlers, and put together the most lavish princess attire we could find. Oddly, my girls are not into princesses and have very little knowledge of the Disney princesses. We did the best we could and, in the end, the girls looked pretty darn cute. Once everyone was satisfied with their appearance, we headed off to Charlotte's 4th birthday tea. Miss Melissa had the house decorated beautifully and the tea was a big hit, especially with Adeline. She adored her dainty tea cup and was the last child left at the table. Never have my girls experienced such an exquisite spread!
The beautiful birthday girl!
Soon after the tea, Sleeping Beauty arrived. She talked like a princess, sang like a princess, and giggled like a princess. She was very impressive. All of the girls gathered around while she sang (check out her set of pipes in the video below) the popular Disney princess songs. My girls were memorized. Adeline tried to imitate hand motions while Lila and Savannah hummed along.
We most likely overstayed our welcome because the girls were having so much fun. I finally strapped everyone into the car seats four hours later. Instead of killing time at home in anticipation of Daddy's return, we went to our local pool and enjoyed a refreshing swim.
