Madeleine's 4th Birthday Party

We had Madeleine's birthday party a little early this year since the baby is due so close to her actual birthday. The Kirkwood pool has this great birthday party package where you get the family pool to yourself for an hour before the pool opens. They even supply the cake. I booked the party back in February to make sure we could get the weekend we wanted. It was going to be the easiest birthday party since we didn't have to do a thing other than send out invitations. It was the easiest birthday party until the night before when the chance of thunderstorms increased significantly and until we woke up to those thunderstorms that seemed like they were never going to end. Pool party canceled. Time to come up with a good back up plan. The weather looked like it would clear in time for a late morning party at the park. Lots of phone calls, a quick trip to the bakery and grocery store and off to the park we went. It turned out to be a great birthday party. The kids had a blast and Madeleine really took the whole pool party being canceled well. Now she is looking forward to having another party with the family on her actual birthday! Hopefully Baby Krewet won't decide to arrive that day.
