You know you\u2019ve just had a killer birthday party when you\u2019re too tired to do anything but lay on the couch and eat cake.  It\u2019s just too much trouble to clean up the tissue paper and deflated balloons, so you leave the mess for tomorrow and hope your toddler\/cat doesn\u2019t swallow anything they shouldn\u2019t.  You order in because all meal-planning has gone out the window and dishes and the laundry start piling up \u2013 but all you can do is crawl into bed for a 3 hour nap.  The dinosaur party for Charlie\u2019s 4th was a huge success.  We rented a gargantuan bounce house\/water slide and I have to recommend it to everyone \u2013 a crowd pleaser in this triple digit weather and worth every penny!!  Here\u2019s Charlie trying it out before her friends arrived: \"charliedinoparty<\/a> \"charliedinoparty<\/a> I found these inflatable dinos at Oriental Trading Company<\/a> and they were a hit as well!  Good thing we don\u2019t have any furniture in the front part of our house because it\u2019s looking a bit like the \u201cDinosaurs Alive!\u201d exhibit at the Ft. Worth Zoo.  Vann and I actually woke up to a T-Rex standing in our bedroom doorway. \"charliedinoparty<\/a> Pink and green were the colors of choice \u2013 and you just can\u2019t have a party without balloons, now can you?? \"charliedinoparty<\/a> Mimi drew hot pink dino tracks leading up to our front door\u2026 \"charliedinoparty<\/a> And a special friend was there to welcome the party guests\u2026 \"charliedinoparty<\/a> And outsourcing the cake turned out to be THE best decision EVAH.  Chocolate with raspberry filling??  Yes, please.  Goodbye, Weight Watchers points\u2026for the year!!!! \"charliedinoparty<\/a> The kids came in from outside to sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d and eat the spectacular cake\u2026 \"charliedinoparty<\/a> \"charliedinoparty<\/a> \"charliedinoparty<\/a> \u2026and then went back out for some more waterslide action.  More of those pics to come courtesy of Poppy (I stayed inside where it was COOL!!)\u2026 And last but not least\u2026 \"cookiefavor\"<\/a> \u2026some pink dino cookies to take home as a parting gift\u2026 And we have a happy little girl who turns 4 on Thursday.  She thinks her birthday started last week and will last every day until her next birthday.  Hmm\u2026turns out the apple doesn\u2019t fall tooooo far from the tree\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
