Last night was a little impromptu cupcake social for some of Nina's friends on our street. She has been asking me lately if we could have her friends over for a party, so we downsized the party request into a cupcake social. Cupcakes were slated to be served at 7:00, and it started pouring down rain at about 6:15 and literally stopped pouring at 6:55. We had lots of cupcakes and kids that wanted to eat them, so we went ahead and had it.
The kids had fun eating and decorating cupcakes. This was part of the five minutes that they actually sat at the table, then for the next hour and a half, they were running and screaming up and down the sidewalks and through the yards of our four houses. They even had two of the family dogs running with them for a time. They came in when it got dark and were sweaty, wet, and covered in bug spray and wet grass, so it was a quick shower and off to bed, but they had a great time. Mark and I enjoyed just hanging out and chatting with the parents of the kids and our other neighbor with teenage kids (who got cupcakes also but didn't have to sit at the kid table) who are all awesome neighbors.
