Maya Turns 3!

As I stood in Old Navy picking out pink shirts, the rain beat down on the pavement outside. Ruined. The party was ruined. I spent weeks planning the details. Maybe because I'm artsy, maybe because Maya's just so darned cute, or because you only turn 3 once. Whatever it was, I was pulling out all the stops so that this was a party to be remembered. I based the theme on the book Pinkalicious where the girl in the story eats a ton of pink cupcakes and turns pink.
Everything was pink. I got Georgie Lou's Retro Candy shop to cater a candy buffet. I bought pink flowers from George's Flowers. I rented a Cotton Candy machine from Krueger's Rental. And I bought everyone pink clothes to wear for the day.
But then it started pouring rain, and just wouldn't stop. Until 30 mins before the party was to start. The clouds parted and the day was PERFECT.I served all pink food.I read the book to the kids :)I had them decorate their own cupcakes.We sang...
Maya opened presents.Then we painted faces. Charity and I are available for hire by the way ;)Big thank you to Charity. She took most of the photos for me so that I wasn't consumed by that task. She also helped me arange the flowers and paint faces! Thanks DAWG! Haha.

Maya is STILL talking about her pink party. It was a huge success. I think I have to start two more careers. Children's party planning and face painting!
