Party Planning

In an earlier post I had pleaded with you all to help me think of some ideas for Adi's craft party. Thanks everyone for your ideas... I tried a few out on Adi, but apparently this is Adi's birthday and she already knows what her and her lil' friends are going to do. Not only has Adi set her mind on some pretty crazy things, but she has Piper backing her up.

Adi: Mom, I want to make some clay statues and paint them and bake them and then everyone can bring them home.

Me: Why that is a fun idea, why don't I just buy some colored clay and you and your friends can build things with it? Then they can keep whatever they make...

Piper: Mom, remember this is Adi's party (she is mimicking Orrin here. Did I mention that OP is on their side too?).

Adi: Yeah. And then you can buy some wood and Dad can cut us out whatever we want, like a unicorn or bee, and the we can pain them and then put some glitter and ribbon on it and....

Piper: And then we can get some fairy dust (we've been watching Peter Pan)...

I will spare you the rest of the details.

I'm proud that I am raising younguns with such a strong (stubborn) personality. Adi and Piper both know what they want and it is a difficult thing to persuade them away from it. This will definitely come in handy when they are older, but for right now....

Well, let's just say that my tongue has some huge bite marks in it and I'm still in negotiations with the two Party Planners, trying to get some realistic activities for this looming party...
