WHO: Sonya Blade (with Cassie) and Everyone (multiples welcomed/encouraged) WHEN: Sunday afternoon WHERE: The park WHAT: Cassie's 2nd year birthday WARNINGS: unlikely, but TBD STATUS: Open: party post
~~~~~ Sonya had selected a shaded picnic area and decorated the boarders with balloons and streamers. At the moment, Cassie's interest seemed to be Loony Toons, but when asked, she also loved anything to do with My Little Pony or superheros. In the end, she just went with the safe sort of decorations-she'd have to clean it up anyway.
In truth, Sonya wasn't in the mood to attend a party, let alone host one. She hadn't felt like being social at all, but it was Cassie's birthday and she had to hold it herself; just put one foot in front of the other, and put on a brave face. Her daughter seemed to sense this and was fussier than usual, but she was excited and smiling today, following her around until some other person or toy caught her interest and she toddled after them.
On the picnic table was a cake Sonya had baked and decorated herself, along with a batch of pulled chicken and bread rolls for sandwiches (no one could say she hadn't tried) as well as soft drinks, but everything else would be brought in via potluck. On another table was her mp3 player playing classic rock music (easy on the ears and her sanity), and in the surrounding area were games such as musical chairs, 'pin the tail on the donkey, a 'getting the rubber ducks in the matching bucket', and several balloons that the kids could kick around.
