I had planned to have all kinds of carnival pictures for this blog today. I was super excited to document what everything looked like and how fun it was. Then three things happened: N couldn't make it home because of all the ice, I had to be the decorator and the muscle and the kids arrived early!
I'm not complaining, we had a great time. I just had zero time to get pictures of things. The second we were done getting set up, the kids arrived. I'm not exaggerating when I say, I took the tape back to the storage room and kid's were coming in the door. There's no real pictures of the cake table, of any of the booths or the prize table, few pictures of the kids in action and zero pictures of Zoe and her sisters.
It's so unlike me.
I did manage to get pictures of Zoe with almost all of her friends. That was a huge answer to prayer since they took home a photo frame for a picture of them with Zoe!
Even though I can't document the day, I can tell you the kids had a blast. There was so many giggles, kids excited to take their tickets to the prize table and shop, Kool-Aid mustaches and cupcake crumbs everywhere.
Zoe made the rounds to visit all her friends, play at the booths and with each present she proclaimed, "this is just what I wanted!" I'm positive each child felt like they knew her the best.
By Saturday night, we were all exhausted and just opening the presents from the boxes took extra effort. Because it was a special day and N wasn't home, Zoe and I did a slumber party in my bed. I've never seen her sleep so wild before. She was everywhere and then she yelled, "grandma, I have another ticket!" You know it was a great day for her too.
