Stella's 4th Birthday (Quarantine style)

This was plan C for our festivities.  

Plan A? A fancy private hot spring Airbnb.

Plan B?  Princess on the town. Hitting up all of Boise for eatery, treatery, nails, and playgrounds

Plan C?  Decorate the house and have a Kitty Party with all your favorite house mates.  The same ones you've been stuck with non stop for the past several weeks. 

The party atmosphere will reminisce of an overly fancy and fussed over lunch. The end of the party will also just kinda slip back again into a bit of quarantine haze that you've become so accustom to. 

You will insist on wearing that dress that has stains all over it, because it's your very favorite pretty pink delight of a dress.

You will miraculously declare that the 2 year reign of hating kisses has ended. Your family will take full advantage of the years missed within two minuets and you will have to declare: 'Okay, Okay. Too much. Too much.'  

A phrase that your younger brother will coin.  Quickly turning the phrase into a Chicken or Egg situation.  Who really owns this turn of phrase now so overly used in our home?  

These are the types of questions you will have time to overly analyse at your Quarantine party. 

You will open your gifts. In a moment of exasperation you will have to hang your new fancy princess shoes from your ears to highlight the fact to your parents that they are not in fact earrings.  They will seem shocked.  You will feel clever and satisfied that you knew so all along.  Though you will be slightly taken aback at how good they really did hang from your ears.  You note that you'll have to try these shoes as earrings at a later time.  In private. 

You will meet Quarantine kitty.   The cat that Mom threw together last minuet from all of scraps of fabric, because going to the store for fabric is blaspheme.  You will love kitty although Finn will love it more. He will try to steal it away every time you neglect it.  Constant vigilance is key!  Which will make testing our your new shoe-hybrid earnings hard to experiment with.

You will open each present while wagging your tongue back and forth.  Much like a dog.  You don't believe in hiding any feelings.  Tongue feelings included. 

You will giggle at the ridiculousness of your Father when he suggests that these wings could maybe help you fly. Then you will quickly insist to dawn them and take a small little test jump to see if you float up in the air.  No flight will take place. HA! You knew it! But just to be sure you double check with a second jump. Yep.  You knew it...  

You will blow out your candles, and then quickly slip away upstairs to play pretend.  A wonderfully extraordinary ordinary quarantine birthday in the books. Or was it just a fancy lunch?  Who knows.  But it was fun. And now you're extra Fancy and 4.  The best!
