I got a limo…I ride in the back.

There, I flipped the picture so you can read the shirt. Sorry mom I should have thought of that before I posted the picture. I just figured with our dislexia you would TOTALLY read it fine ;)

THE LIMO SCAVENGER TREASURE HUNT

It was craziness getting all the envelopes dropped off for the hunt, but my friend ‘Cita and I managed to pull it all together. There were a few moments where I was pretty sure she was just going to smack me in the head.

“OMG! I LOST THE ENVELOPES FOR THE LAST STOP!” I franticly tried to remember if I left TWO sets of envelopes at the mall. I reread Shaun’s instructions and realized, “Oh yeah…this is the place I pick up the fortune cookies and leave the clues IN them.”

The limo was waiting outside the school when the kids got out and OH the excitement! All the other kids stared and talked with each other.

“Is there someone FAMOUS in there?”
“I wanna go for a ride!”
“Awwww!that’s not fair!!”
(I still say all those things when I see a limo too!)

I wanted to be obnoxious, but once the limo got there and the girls started bubbling with excitement I was swept up in their excitement and all I could do is thank the limo driver for ever single thing he did.

Keep in mind I told the girls about this ‘end of the year party’ about 3 months ago. I told them to invite 4 of their friends. I told them there might be a limo, pizza, mall…the works. The whole class knew about this party that was going to happen and a good majority of them wanted to go.
You would think that this would be an opportunity for the girls to worm their way into the popular girls crowd.
When the girls (and 2 boys) walked up to get in the limo my heart swelled with pride.

My girls didn’t pick a single girl from the popular crowd. They stuck to the friends that had been their friends all year long.

The popular girls came over to the limo and peeked in to say ‘HI, CALL ME.’ and once the windows went up and the car started to pull away the inside of the limo reached a level of noise I didn’t think was humanly possible! We blared Green Day and started out the hunt!

The scavenger/treasure hunt kicked ass! Shaun…thank you!
They figured out the clues pretty quickly.

I realized that Kara could be no one else’s daughter but my own when we were in the limo and she’s got a glass of apple cider in one hand and is working the stereo with the other while everyone else is trying to figure out the clues.

We ended up at the mall and had some ice cream and hung out. Then the limo brought us back for pizza. Then at the end of the party Kara got to arrive at her softball game in a limo!
None of the children wanted to home so I drug half of them to the softball game THAT KARA’S TEAM WON! and then after that we ended up at the pool.

It was an awesome day for the girls and now they get to spend all day today telling everyone about the day they had.

She doesn’t read my blog, but ‘Cita…THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP! I COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!
