Missy's birthday party was today. She has alternately wanted to have a princess party and a carnival party over the past few weeks, but ultimately decided on a carnival party (since there were going to be boys there), which is what we went with. The biggest thing was the fishing pond we rigged up, in which we strung a tarp over a clothesline between two trees and had the kids cast a fishing line with a clothespin over it, to where I and Marve were waiting with goodie bags of candy and trinkets. We also had the jarts toss and the stick the tail on the donkey, and the bunch of kids running around the backyard. Good times had by all. Mom and Dad got back from Pennsylvania yesterday after just a few days visiting Laura. The Myers girls even came back from vacation a bit early so they could come to the party (we had been feeding their bunnies this past week while they were gone).
