Class was very good today :) Tabitha had quite a bit of fun with her friends. A little *too* much fun at one point and the teacher had to threaten to seperate the girls. We always instruct the 5 of them to keep their hands to themselves and not talk, but they just love to hug each other and they do talk more than they should. Sometimes it's hard to be popular, lol.

Everyone loved the cakes on a stick. I let Tabi have 2 since I made them and there was enough for her to have an extra. We even brought 4 home, to which Tabitha said Chris and I could each have one and she'll take the other 2 :)

Right now I'm just completely restless. I want to pack and wrap presents but I can't do either until Tabitha is asleep. I'm going to try and get her down just a tad early, but they rarely works to my advantage. The backyard is as ready as it's going to be for Saturday and the house is too. The only things left to do for the party have to wait until Saturday morning- like order the pizza and pick up the cake and balloons. It looks like everyone is coming. Well, there's one friend we didn't hear from, but I think she'll be here. So, we'll have 9 or 10 little girls bouncing their hearts out on Saturday.

I'm a little uncertain what Tabitha will wear to her party. Originally I had planned on ordering the most adorable birthday princess dress, but then Tabi told me she wanted to wear her Blossom costume since it's a Powerpuff Girls party. But now she's decided she doesnt' want to wear that because she doesn't want it to get ruined in the bounce house. So, I have an outfit picked out for tomorrow and Friday, but need something for Saturday and I certainly don't have time to go shopping now! She has one dress that I really like, but it's a jumper with a turtle neck and she has this "thing" about turtlenecks. I may just see what I can find at Disney tomorrow, but that isn't exactly an inexpensive option. We're not leaving until 11:00am so I also am considering running to Target first thing in the morning and seeing what I can find. Or perhaps I can make it to Robinson's-May as long as I'm there as soon as they open. Or I can always work really hard on getting her to wear the turtleneck. It's hard having a style conscious kid, lol.
