We went to party #2 tonight. Once again, the kids did pretty well, but it was a bit more tiring for us to keep track of them. It was a house we hadn't been to before, so they were clingy, and yet they wanted to explore. We had to make sure we knew where all the bathrooms and the food were, and we had to keep them from eating all the cookies on the trays that were scattered about at kid level.
As we were trying to get them ready, this is what they wanted to wear:
This is what we managed to get them to wear. Ironically, when we got there, there were several older girls wearing cute tu-tus and other frilly things, so our kids would have fit right in with their leotards, tu-tus, and fairy costumes. Oh well.
We had to drag them out after they kept trying to un-decorate the Christmas tree and had eaten about a million cookies (and barely any dinner) and were taking out every toy in the house. This is Abby's tantrum in the car when we made her leave the party:
We realized that each of us thought the other one had made sure that Abby had eaten dinner. Turns out she had only eaten a few bites of cookie. No wonder she was a mess!
I guess since Jason and I each managed to eat and drink a little we should consider the party a success. Plus everyone stayed dry in their undies (even Lucas!) and nobody broke anything or stuck their hands in a burning candle. That's about the best we could ask for, I suppose.
