It has been three days gone since i have written on here. These three days have seemed to last a century, and have also flown by in a blink at the same time. I wanted nothing more than to describe in detail every moment of the time i have spent away from my computer, however, i am still exhausted from staying up until 2:30 on friday night to build the amazing dollhouse that M woke up to on her 4th birthday morning on Saturday. We then spent the entire birthday morning celebrating and opening gifts and playing, then i shipped her and her dad out for four + hours, while i (with some major help from a great friend) set up the entire surprise party decorations, food, etc.
My husband brought my FOUR-YEAR-OLD baby into her surprise, and she reacted in only a way that a special girl like M could react. With grace and charm and thanks to all. And then the kid partied! And partied and partied and partied! We had friends here until well into the evening. We made s'mores on the fire and told ghost stories while listening to music. M was allowed to stay up as late as she wanted (the birthday rule my husband grew up with,) but once midnight hit, i called the rule on the count that her birthday was over. at 12:03 she hit her pillow, and i believe she was asleep by 12:04. i, on the other hand, spent the second night of my weekend up until about 2:30 again, since that was the first time all day that my husband and i could actually recount our day, and finally decompress after weeks of planning this surprise! it was wonderful! and magical and happy!
Last night, i went to bed at 8:45. I was asleep by 9:00. i went to work today as an "official" teacher, hired on by the school as of october 1. and now, i am on my way to bed for the second early evening of the week! and then to continue planning the second of three parties in a few more days!
and i cannot wait to do it all over again, and again!!!
