I wish i could say this birthday party ran absolutely smooth but it did not by any means. We went to go pick up this custom made princess castle cake that i purposely ordered two weeks early and when we arrived the cops were blocking off the parking lot. Let me remind you that this was 30 minutes before the start time of Jenna's party, THE GROCERY STORE HAD A FIRE ALARM GOING OFF!!! What my luck, what my luck, what my luck!!! We sat there for 10 minutes but we couldn't wait much longer, we had to leave to set up for her party, so frank decided he would drop me off and he would go back to get the cake, hoping that everything would be cleared up by then. So i set up the party and everyone arrives, still no frank with cake. So everyone is painting their pottery and i went to call frank and then i realize i don't have my cell, then i look for the camera, frank has it in the diaper bag which is with him!! So i call frank with a friend's cell phone, he tells me that they don't have the cake ready because of the fire alarm, which is crap because it was supposed to already be done. UHHHH!! so i tell him to leave and forget the cake, i need the camera. So i don't have any pictures from the beginning of the party but oh well. So my friend offers to go buy an already made cake, which was so generous of her, so i accepted her offer! :) As all this is happening Jenna's party is going on. So the cake arrives, thank you Evelyn, but i have no knife, cake server, ice cream scoop, or lighter for the candle. This is just not my day, i was so unprepared. Thankfully the mad platter had all those things for me, i guess I'm not the only mom to forget those things, at least i tell myself that to make myself feel better,lol. But all of that drama didn't even matter to the kids, they didn't even notice all the HOOPLA in the background. Jenna loved her cake even though it wasn't the big, fancy castle cake that we originally ordered. Jenna just loved seeing all her friends and being the birthday girl for the day. But we pulled it all together and after the party i took a nice, long nap!! :) So here it is.. the birthday party....My big girl's 6th one!! Well she's not 6 quite yet, that is the on 25th of June....
