Big Weekend

We went to Kayla's 7th birthday party today, at a place that is not Chuck E. Cheese's but is like Chuck E. Cheese's on steroids. Oh, yay.

First, there were party favors and pizza:



Then there was cake:



And then it was time to play.

Britt played a round of golf:





And rode some stuff:



And played lots of games:



And found a dinosaur dispensing goodies:



She was surprisingly good at shooting baskets:



But not quite as good at air hockey:



But bowling was totally her favorite:







Then, after a spin around the racetrack,



we traded the 558 tickets she had won for a stamp set, a dinosaur and a crocodile and got the hell out of there. At 8:15. The party had started at 4:30.

Aaargh, exhausted. (And I haven't even mentioned the drama. Oh, yes, there was drama. But I can't talk about it right now; I still have a million things to do tonight.)

Alas, there was no rest for the weary. We haven't gotten around to buying me a new zipmobile yet, so we drove halfway across the city to rent me a car to drive to Wichita tomorrow morning. But we're finally home and I still have to do laundry and take a shower and pack so we'll be all ready to go.

Because, if everything goes as planned, by this time tomorrow we'll have a brand new baby girl in the family.
