Delaney asked me 2 weeks ago if she could have "A Suntan Party". Then she clarifies, "In the shade". I was totally not paying attention to her and mumbled, "Sure."
An hour later, Delaney showed me the lovely invitations she had made for her friends, for a party that would start at 10:45 the next Saturday morning. She ran around to all her friends and delivered her adorable invites. I had 2 moms ask about the party and had the sudden realization that they were under the impression that this was a PARTY. Oh shoot!
I sat down and talked to Delaney, who was very specific. She needed towels for her party and they would be under the tree. It was a Suntan Party in the Shade. I found that very amusing. She said no swimsuits, they were just going to sit on towels in the shade. Whew, I wasn't really required.
Saturday morning came, and several of Delaney's friends wandered over. They were expecting a bit more, so one of them ran home and came back with a slip-n-slide. They all got on swimsuits and the next 2 hours were a lot of fun for them. Callie and Marian even joined in, but didn't go through the hassle of actually putting on a swimsuit. They made me laugh.
I brought out snacks and ended up chatting with the other moms and it was quite the lovely day!
