A Fun Time Was Had By All

The resident princess turned nine yesterday. And as is only fitting, festivities ensued.

Birthday party agenda:
1. Pick up Zoe and friends from school.
2. Run around the house and backyard screaming like little girls.
3. Wait for arrival of other friend from other school.
4. Arrival of the fourth Musketeer.
5. Attend the 4:50 showing of Robots.
6. Eat copious amounts of crap at the movies.
7. Come home and run around the house screaming like little girls some more.
8. Make pizzas.

14. More running and screaming but slower and softer because the sugar is leaving their systems.
15. Put Charlies Angel Full Throttle on continuous loop on the DVD player for all night viewing.
16. Wake up and scream for breakfast.
17. Laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh, and oh yeah, run around and scream.
18. Mother takes her 15th dose of Advil in a 12 hour period and father pokes his head around the corner to see if it's safe to come out yet.
19. Send the girls home.
20. Call in the HazMat team to clean up the wreckage.

So yeah, pretty much your typical 9 year old birthday party sleepover.

Yikes. Looks like they had fun. I suppose we'll be doing something like that one of these days.

Les Girls with the facial masks look like the cover of the Go-Go's album, 'Beauty and the Beat'.

Yes, I just wrote that. And that's because I had that album. WTF.

I'll betcha the catering service at Rancho Atkins is hip enough to supply goat cheese and dried tomatoes on those pizzas.

On further inspection of these pics I found you and I have the same taste in toiletries:

Kiehls
Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask
Stayfree Pads

You and me, Bethra - blood sisters.
