Busy week for a Princess Party

This week was busy.  I am sitting down to write this just after Jess and I got back from Home Depot with a couple of new rugs for the main living areas of the home.  The family room has white carpet and the front room has wood, so we figured we need something to protect both of them.  The rugs look nice and will be a nice accent to the home.  Jess loves the rug that is going in the family room.

The girls have both been acting up more.  We figure it is them getting used to a new place.  We hope they get settled quickly.

Jess called me a few minutes after I got to work on Thursday.  She told me she was in ditch and she needed a tow truck.  She said everything was fine but she was worried that the car was going to tip.  I called the tow truck and asked if she needed me to come.  She said she was going to be all right.  The tow truck came and pulled her out.  Luckily there wasn't much damage to the car.  The ditch wasn't all that big but looked like it high-centered the car from the marks on the ground.  We are grateful nothing major happened.

Sarah's appointment went well.  Her numbers were high enough and she got her last dose of methotrexate.  She has a checkup on Monday to see her levels but has the week off from any medications.  She hopefully will start the last intensive round the following week.

Tuesday was the fun day for the kids.  As you may know, Sarah's wish got sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors of Bellevue.  They wanted to throw a party for Sarah and it was scheduled for Tuesday.  About a week and a half ago, we got scrolls in the mail, inviting them to a tea party.  The girls were excited.

We arrived at their office and led Lilly and Sarah off to the cottage where they got dressed up as Princesses.  A carriage (it was a customer built wagon, awesome) and horse (someone dressed up as a horse) awaited them after they were dressed and ready.

They set off on their adventure.  They had a few stations where they play games like making their own crowns, a matching game, and pop the balloons.  The girls had a lot of fun.

They were then sent on a treasure hunt with clues to get to the castle.  A prince came and they had to help him slay a dragon (the boss of the office was dressed up as the dragon).  The tea party had a bunch of snacks and juice.  They were given a treasure chest with prizes.  They had lots of fun.  The people who put it on for them did an awesome job.  We are so grateful for them.

Thanks for all the love and support we receive.  We are very grateful for it.
