Happy Birthday, Issa!

This is what Issa woke up to this morning:

 In case you are wondering, it takes 52 minutes to blow up 71 balloons and cover a bedroom floor. Issa thought this was hysterical! She was expecting streamers in the doorway, but I was getting a bit bored with streamers. This was way fun, although my hands are a bit torn up from all those knots.

And the birthday princess herself:

She posed herself, and I think she looks a bit like 17 here. When did she get so big?

She headed off to school with a few surprises in her backpack: mini blueberry muffins she has been eyeing for snack and a homemade "lunchable" made in a new sandwich Tupperware with zebra muffins liners inside (thank you Pinterest). I think she will be thrilled. This afternoon, I will take cupcakes and juice boxes for her class, and then we will head to dance, where she is way too excited for the Company to sing to her. She's requested we pick up Wendy's on the way home, and then we'll have a little Despicable Me party for our little crew. In short, it's a perfect day for our seven year old. Pictures of the events tomorrow...for now I'm off to put a minion on a cake!
