R's Party: Part 4--Aftermath

After gorging on pizza, cupcakes, and these delicious ice cream cups (two layers of vanilla ice cream with orange sherbet in the middle) that Grammie made for the party, the kids ran back outside to play some more. We turned the sprinkler back on and let them loose.




Here's a picture of what the cardboard house looked like after the party--didn't they do a great job with it? Seriously, this was a HUGE hit. And I know R will continue to enjoy this for a long time-- it'll take awhile to get everything colored in! (I know Grammie and I will help, though).
All the kids left with their favors and decorated bags--we put together bags with two pieces of sidewalk chalk shaped like a dragonfly and a butterfly, a small thing of play-doh, a sheet of stickers, and a squirty ball for more poolside fun later in the summer.
After all that, R was plumb tuckered. She wouldn't nap right away (it took awhile for the excitement to wear off) but eventually just passed out on the couch around 4 p.m.
