Party and a Show

After yesterday's excitement, the girls and I had a quiet morning.  It's good that we did, because the afternoon and evening were busy.

Up first was a pool birthday party.  Since the pool wasn't enough, there was also a giant bouncy house and a pinata.

Needless to say Vivi loved it.  Luckily the bouncy house was deflated promptly at 2:00 pm and it was clear that the fun was done, so extricating her wasn't too difficult.  When we got home, she had a nice long bath.  She then insisted upon putting on her fancy dress.  I thought she would stay in and rest a bit before we went out again, but she spotted some friends out the window, and simply had to go and play.  I told her to be careful of her dress.  To her credit, she was, but she wasn't as careful with her hands and face.

I wiped her down and got her looking presentable, so that we could go and have dinner with another mom and her daughter at the Club.  Then we all went to ISB's production of Hairspray together.  I was really impressed that they had a full student orchestra to do the music.

Of course, half way through the first act, Vivian was SO hungry and kept asking me for something to eat, despite the fact that I obviously couldn't get her any food.  Luckily, the friends we were with live right across the street from the school, so the mom ran home during intermission and grabbed an apple and a banana for Vivian as well as a sandwich for her daughter who had also gotten hungry.  The snack held them through the second act.  Overall, it was a good production and a fun night out.

Vivian and her friend had talked about doing a sleepover, but her friend was too tired for it after the play, so I told Vivian she could have a sleepover with me.  We put on a movie, and she lasted about 10 minutes before falling asleep on the sofa, which is where she is now while I'm typing this.

Hopefully she doesn't roll off in the middle of the night.
