Party and Party and Hey!

Hello young/middle aged/elderly kitties!  It's time to finish the tale of what happened at the awesome surprise party of DOOM (just kidding about the whole DOOM thing).

Dinner was exciting because that's when Muppet's friend laid out the rule.  Yes, only one rule: that we would all act like four year olds at Muppet's birthday party.  If you haven't read very much of this blog or this is the first post you've seen, please read the next paragraph as I explain why:

Muppet was born on a leap year and her birthday is February 29th.  So she's only actually had four birthdays.  And since this is her birthday year, she gets to celebrate all year long (well, would you want to wait four years for your birthday???) lol.  Which is why we are celebrating late (not exactly).

Continuing with the party:  blue food, right?  Okay so then I pull off one awesome feat and one fail at dinner: Feat: I ate the melted chocolate and peanuts that were on a tissue that Muppet's friends were trying to pass off as something disgusting and won a package of Snickers :D (although, when I left, I forgot them :'( ) Fail: I fell for the fake science trick: someone puts butter on a plate and then says something like, "I learned a new science trick" and puts salt on the butter and says, "feel, it's warm!" and then when you put your hand over it the other person smacks your hand down.  Then I had fun smudging it all over Muppet.  If you read on, butter isn't the only thing poor, dear Muppet has smudged on her.

After dinner we went outside and drew with sidewalk chalk on Muppet's friend's house.  And don't go thinking we were surprising her like people do when they swab people's yards with toilet paper.  WE HAD PERMISSION TO DO SO.  Don't try it at home kids...do it at your friend's house like we did lol.

Then we went and colored the cat with sidewalk chalk...well, they did.  I mostly held the cat (and colored Muppet's arm pink with sidewalk chalk lol.  She did it back though, so we were even for the time being)  He's all white so you can actually see the colors on him.  He also has blue eyes.  I love cats with blue eyes...but that's getting off topic.

Next we played this version of hide-and-go-seek except it's in the dark and your only source of light is a flashlight...except we had awesome glow-sticks instead.  I got to be the seeker first.  I didn't find everyone...I couldn't find one of H's sisters :P.  She hid in a pile of stuffed animals.  Ah, but I found Muppet.  Although I can't believe I didn't see her when I first went in the one room because she was only hiding in the closet.

Play continued, H hid behind the couch as did her older sister in an earlier round, some of H's younger siblings hid in the top part of a closet in and empty room, J hid under a bed with a cat, I mistook a pillow for a person until I poked it, H hid in a chest in an earlier round, and one of Muppet's friends hid underneath a bed mattress lol ;).  So much fun.

Then we had cake and ice cream...or maybe that was before hide-and-go-seek...  Anyways, the cake was a big blue paw-print with four little cupcake toes.  It was a good cake, I have to say, and the ice cream was even better.  It took me a while to realize the cones weren't blue plastic and were actually edible.

THAT was fun.  I kept teasing Muppet with my ice cream cone, singing into it like a microphone (I had my MP3 player out at this time: Francesca Battistelli), trying to steal bites of her cake, and smudging ice cream on her arm (she got me back here, too).

After H's younger siblings left and it was just us older girls, we danced to random party music like the cupid shuffle.  After that we started to play spoons (a card game that includes the usage of spoons in the center of the table and in which your goal is to get a spoon before the other players)...SO much fun.  Except my energy was getting out of hand at this point but my energy and how fast I get tired after that is another long rabbit trail that I'll go on another day.

After I went out playing spoons I kept tricking people by taking spoons from the center when I wasn't actually playing.  Then I started going through the cards as though I were playing even though I wasn't.  But, once, when I was playing I lost all the cards in my hands because I was goofing off and passing them all off and looking at cards.

After a time my energy dropped greatly and I was, as J says, a pumpkin...or more like just squash.  And so, Daddy picked me and J up to go home for some sleep.  Here ends the party...until Muppet turns twenty (or five) :)
