My sewing skills only helped me out for a few hours. We got through the festivities on Friday at Natalie's school... but when she came home it was ripped in a few new places. So - Sleeping Beauty had to be laid to rest.

I gave her a choice - Alice in Wonderland with all the paint all over it or Belle (from 2 years ago). She went with Belle. Luckily, Disney dresses come in a size 4 as the smallest size when you buy it at the park. So it fit perfectly.

She had a bit of a fever on Saturday (and still does today) so we did two blocks and went home by ourselves. We told our friends not to come with us and stayed clear of all children. If there was a group ahead of us, we waited and Natalie touched nothing. Just opened up her bag and let the candy fall in. She still enjoyed herself though - which is all you can ask for when a child is sick.

We missed TWO birthday parties this weekend because of their illnesses. UGH! But I never tell the kids about anything going on until a few hours before we actually have to be there. Otherwise, they won't stop asking about WHEN WE ARE GOING.

So again, they don't know the difference. Nice and relaxing weekend.
