We got there a little late because Kaitlyn woke up from her nap and it was time to go. I still had to change both girls into dresses and change both diapers plus feed Kaitlyn. Well all went well except Kaitlyn refused to eat. -I know when does she EVER do that. So I thought no big deal I'll just bring some chicken nuggets with me. Well before we even got in the door she had already had a few throw herself on the floor fits. That wouldn't be such a big deal, I used to just ignore her, but now I'm carrying Emily too. Well we made it inside (Yay!) and all was well. The girls throwing the party did such a great job they had tons of cute little activities and balloons and even an art project. They also had made their own princess castle cake. It was a castle, like 3D not just a sheet cake. I wish I had a picture, it was so adorable. Oh also one just had a baby and the other just got back in town yesterday. Amazing. Well Kaitlyn LOVES balloons, so she refused to do any of the activities because she only wanted the balloons. Here's some pics.
The only problem, they were attached to chairs. So in her excitement to get them she got all tangled up and fell down more than once, a few times off the chair. When she's tired or hungry (in this case both) she is kinda like a drunk. All the sudden a little wobbly on her feet. So I was getting a little stressed, cause she wouldn't play with the other kids-and she kept getting hurt. Then they brought in the cake, and all she wanted was that. I was holding Emily trying to keep her away. The cakes were on a low table were she could reach and would have knocked them all down to the floor. So she threw a few fits on the floor again. This time I had to pick her up-while holding Emily and carry her out of the room. I don't know what I'm gonna do when there's more than 2! Well I have to say I've been really proud of myself. I have 2 now and I hadn't lost it once yet. Well I have to admit I was pretty upset, so we went to another room and I called Ryan. Luckily he was done studying and could come rescue me. While we waited I finally got Kaitlyn to eat and calm down, so when Ryan got there the only one crying was me. My poor husband. Well the rest of the party went well. Kaitlyn still refused to play with anyone, but they had had cake, so she sat at the table and ate cake the whole time. Oh well.
That was my afternoon but I have to say I had a great rest of the day. In the morning I went threw my closet and put up all the maternity clothes and figured out what fits now. I have all the rest ready to put in boxes. Project 1 of packing to move, completed yay! Then this evening was a bar-b-que at a friends house and that was nice.
Well I've been waiting for emotional break down #1, and it's past now. So, hopefully that's it. But seeing as we're moving it probably won't be the last.

The party was a TON of fun and I'm glad that you got to come. Sorry it was stressful...next time just tell me to hold Emily :), I'd be more than happy to. Melt downs are inevitable with 2....sadly this will not be your last :), but at least you know you're not alone!
Christi I'm sorry you had such a hard time with Kaitlyn. That is the hardest thing...juggling one screaming child and another who is immobile! You did good though! And thank goodness Ryan was there to help.
And I am so jealous at all the girls night out events you've gone to. That is so wonderful. You should enjoy yourself as much as possible before you leave. I know it'll be hard for you to say goodbye to all your great friends! Ryan is such a good hubby and dad to you and the girls.
And I forgot to say I love the clip in her hair!!!
I didn't even noticed you were stressed! How well you carry yourself with the two of them, I never would have known (I thought Ryan came to enjoy some princess-festivities :) Somedays I don't know how I even get out the door or anything done - and my 2 are 3 years apart. Your girls are so close - just think of what good friends they will be though!
