There's No Controlling Mother Nature

My daughter and I were extremely excited about her 6th birthday party with all her friends on Saturday.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature had a different plan.  Although I was aware that the forecast called for some snow, it was only expected to be a few light snow showers so I continued with my plans, got up early on Saturday to get my daughter's hair done for the party, packed everything in my car to take to the party site, and even sent out reminder emails telling everyone the party would go on!  Around 10am the snowfall began and it only got worse as the hours passed.  Being the person I am I was defiant against Mother Nature and was convinced that I would still make this party happen.  What happened?  I lost (LOL).  The roads were bad, my vendors started calling me to cancel, and parents started emailing me to tell me the roads were just too bad for them to still come.  So, much to my dismay, I had to pack everything back in my car and start notifying everyone that the party had to be postponed.  Fortunate for me several of my daughter's friends' parents did brave the bad weather and show-up for the party which made the "sting" of having to postpone the party much less dramatic for my baby girl.  She was so excited to see her friends that I think she completely forgot the party had been postponed.  She laughed and played with them for a while until it was time for us to trek back home and enjoy watching the snowfall from our windows.  We got home, got in our pjs, and my daughter enjoyed playing with the bday gifts she received from her friends who showed up for the party.

The plan was to reschedule the party for next Saturday but can you believe they're calling for even more snow next weekend too.  I guess my baby will get her party AT SOME POINT in the near future.
