I decided to make the shindig afterward a bit simpler since I wouldn't be able to do as much prep - our first catered party. We need a little more practice on portion sizes to order. We'll be enjoying sandwiches for a while yet. Sadly, folks seemed to duck out early, so we had a lot of leftovers. We didn't even get to bring out dessert at all - which was the one thing I had made from scratch. Maybe people had thought it was polite to leave early since Dan had to head off to night shift by 7pm or so.
Luckily, all was not lost. We had planned a fun sleepover with Zoe's godmother and her kids. My friend Elizabeth is quite the chocolate fanatic and we had a whole chocolate pie to finish together. We did (she probably believes I saved a piece for Dan). Though we didn't quite enact our plan of four kids under four years in a single bedroom, it was still a fun-filled sleepover. Zoe and Elijah seemed to get along well enough. Penny had tons of fun with Eliana. Aliyah and Paul did what one and two year olds do - sometimes it's playing together, most of the time it's just fun to watch. We enjoyed a steamy trip to the Pirate Ship Playground (reopened, but without the water on a hot day, which was a bit of a bummer).
What a super fun weekend! Can't wait to do more playdates!
