Somewhere over the rainbow...

Both girls really wanted to have a friend party for their birthdays this year. April was busy and I didn't feel quite up to it. I did tell them they could have a play date later with a few of their friends. They were excited about it. I liked the idea of having fewer kids. They picked a rainbow theme. We had lunch, played one game, and made a craft. It was really fun! Here are some pictures: (some of them are cropped funny because I didn't want to post pictures of the other kids without permission!) They each decorated a cupcake with mini M&M's.
I was pretty proud of this Jell-O!
We had some colorful drinks and fruit and rainbow sandwiches. They also each got some crayons to color rainbows for the game: pin the pot of gold to the end of the rainbow. :o)

We did this right after Abby got done with her kindergarten circus so her face was still painted.
They also made rainbow necklaces that I didn't get pictures of.
It turned out to be a really fun day!

I couldn't find your email address so I just had to respond to you on here. Maybe you could just delete it after you read it because it will be the worlds longest comment :) Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Things have been total craziness around here and will contintue to be for the next little while. I am not sure when I will be able to get away to do pictures for you. I keep trying to schedule a time and then something comes up. We have tball, swimming lessons, my ten year reunion and we're ready to start our house. I thought our summer would be a little more relaxing, but its not starting out that way. Would it be okay if I checked back when things slowed down here a bit?
