Entry FeedFrom now on, we are having all-girl birthday parties (at least until puberty). No - really, even for the boys. They are so much more CIVILIZED! Nothing broke. No fights. No tears.
Sunday I had 8 little girls and 1 little boy over for Daughter's 4th Birthday Party. It was princess themed. We made wands. Read a A Paper Bag Princess. Had a snack. Played games. Had cake. All went well.
The girls were all so polite and well behaved! Son One snorts when I tell him (his birthday is next) that I think I will just have girls again.
I am starting to realize how shy my children are. When we sang "Happy Birthday" to Son Two on his birthday earlier this month, he blew out the candles half-way through the song hoping it would be done. AND IT WAS JUST THE 5 OF US!!!
Daughter, during "Happy Birthday" curled up into a ball on her chair and hid her head. I had to ask the others at the party to blow out her candles for her and make her a birthday wish, because she refused to look up and blow them out. Really, what child refuses to blow out their candles?
The birthdays are done in my house for a few months. The Christmas rush followed by the double birthdays. It is a hit that my Visa really can't take.
Still looking for that damn cord so that I can download photos. May have to make a special trip to Future Shop today.
