I can remember the moment just like yesterday, however the details run like fragments of dreams I cannot recall. There were a lot of people in our home, some for the first time. We ate, drank, had cake and went to the swimming pool. Mason’s “Barbie Mariposa” party was alive and flowing with kid antics. The best moment – I will never forget – is watching my daughter come down the stairs, in the middle of the party, naked from the waist up. Tired of waiting to go swimming, she stripped off her “Mariposa” costume, found some shorts and came running down the stairs with her arms covered across her chest because she couldn’t find her swimsuit.
I was quite embarrassed for a moment, but the moment was too precious to pass up without a full blown belly laugh. Mason was mad needless to say.
We found the swim suit and I tried getting her to put her costume back on – didn’t work. But her hair looked great for the cake!
It was a nice party. There were other elements I wish I could have changed but what party ever goes well. Now, if only we can get the adults to stop thinking we should cater to them at a kids party – that would be a perfect party!
