The girl knows what she wants. 

So, I reserved a pavilion.  Then it started to rain.  It rained all week and the forecast called for rain on Saturday, the day of the party.  My husband & I decided to switch dates to the next Saturday to avoid any weather problems.  We called the park & e-mailed all the guests.  As it turned out only a few guests could come the next week, so we changed it back.  Afterall, as my husband said, “What are the chances of it raining at 10:00 in the morning?” I was so embarrased to call the park back I made my him do it.

Friday night, my friend Ame & I worked until 1:30am getting activities together just in case it rained.

When Saturday morning rolled around, it was bright & sunny outside.  We drove over to the park, set up all the decorations, dried off the playground equipment and got the grill ready for hot dogs.  Party time…10:00 and the guests start showing up.  Fifteen minutes later, we were in the storm of the century.  I guess the chances of it raining at 10:00 were pretty good.  Now we have nearly all the guests under a pavilion 100 yards from their cars, and lightning was literally striking at the park.  It was crazy!!! So much so I started to cry and I never cry.

I wanted to just call it quits and send everyone home, but my awesome friends had other ideas.  Several of them braved the storm, drove to my house, and had it cleaned before I got there.  We ended up doing most of the crafts & games from the comfort of my family room.  We have such a great community.

I did NOT leave my daughter on the potty so long (actually only 5 minutes) that she fell asleep, and I definitely did NOT run to get the video camera instead of waking her up to make sure she didn’t fall over. (This is NOT something that Emily has a history of.)

I also did NOT encourage the same little girl to sing country music songs she hears on the radio, and definitely NOT songs that talk about having beer on Friday night (you do NOT have to watch the video of this).

And, I did NOT ruin my ironing board, my iron, and my other daughter’s favorite shirt while trying to melt crayons so I would have a craft to post about on my blog.

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I did NOT leave my two year old on the potty for 30 minutes the other day because she refused to go poopy.  She would NOT cry for a little and then start to sing Angels We Have Heard on High at the top of her lungs.  Just to let you all know, she did finally go.I did NOT choose to watch The Office over a romantic Chick Flick for Valentine’s Day.  I am NOT obsessed with it and do NOT watch an episode (or 3) every night after putting the girls to bed. 

On Valentine’s Day I did NOT let my kids eat cake, candy, and chips non-stop from after lunch on.  I did NOT not feed my kids (and husband) dinner even after my 5 year old said, ” I didn’t know we could skip dinner!”  And then I did NOT tell her to eat a few more chips so she wouldn’t be hungry before she went to bed.  I would NEVER do that!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I did NOT tell a friend at my new kickboxing class that I had to leave early in order to give my kids a bath.  Then while walking out I did not see two 60 year old women barely sweating keeping up with the instructor and decide to stay.  I am much more in shaped than them. 

While talking to a friend he mentioned that he had never in 9 years seen the inside of my husband and I’s bedroom.  I did NOT lie to him and tell him it was because our dogs are always in there when people come over.  I do NOT throw all the unfolded laundry, extra toys, and anything else in there before friends come over.

  This is the first time I have participated in  ATWT.   I was actually searching for a different picture when I came across this one of my now 5 year old daughter wearing my boots.  This happens quite often but I love her face in this picture!
