Dog-gone Fun Party!
Well, Cole's Party was a howling success! The only glitch was that the bouncer that we had ordered (A dalmation one to match the theme) did not come! We instead were given a "Dreamhouse" bouncer that had pink flowers on it! So that was not going to fly so the guy left to see if he could bring the right one. The party started at 1pm and at 12:55 the correct one showed up, just as guests were arriving! Then to our dismay the dalmation bouncer was all wet! Carl and the delivery guy did their best to dry it with rags but it smelled musty and it was going to have to air dry a little before the kids went in. So we played games and the kids went in the sand box first. We played "give the doggie a bone" kind of like pin the tail on the donkey. The kids loved that one. Cole now has the doggie poster in his bedroom. We had "pup"cakes and ice cream in dog dishes and the kids wore their doggie ears and Cole got lots of great gifts! As you can see in the photo, he is kind of into Rescue Heroes right now and two of his friends got him a HUGE Rescue Hero Jet! All in all the party was fun and the kids all went home with a lot of stuff! Cole really enjoyed himself as did all the kids. We were very thankful that it went so well, especially after we found out on the following Tuesday, that Cole had an ear infection! He probably had it on the day of the party but it hadn't started hurting yet. Whew!
So that is the party and I did send a letter to the bouncer company, so who knows, maybe they will give us a free bouncer or half price sometime!
Hmmmm, don't really want to do another party for a while......sigh...
