Whew!!! It is HOT out there. Ok, maybe I'm reconsidering my desire to move to Florida. How about a winter home there? It's 93 degrees with he heat factor making it feel like 100. And the humidity... After running a few errands, who would know that I just took a shower before we left.
Tonight is Emily's first sleep over. I had a thought earlier today. Rebecca had her first "real" sleepover for her 7th birthday. Emily is getting her's for her 5th birthday. Rebecca got her ears pierced for her 5th b-day. Emily had her ears pierced on her 3rd birthday. The list can go on and on. How long do you think it'll be before Becca realizes this and says, "That's not fair!" I think my reasoning is that I'm not ready for Becca to grow and do certain things that are considered for "older children". And with Emily, it's like, "Go ahead, if your sister can do it, so can you." Of course they have 2 totally different personalities and we have to factor that in as well.
We're going casual for Em's birthday this year. I think I had mentioned some plans in an earlier post but a couple details have changed. She's having her friend Megan come over as well as her older sister and another friend of hers and Becca's. The ages of the children are turning 5, 5 1/2, 7, 7 1/2, and 8 1/2. So much for keeping it 5 and under. It'll go well, I'm sure. I will probably have to remind bossy Becca that they are here for Emily, not her. It's Emily's day!!!
We are going to go to Chick-fil-a for dinner and then come back here for cake and presents. My BIG present for Emily fell through so I don't know what I'll give her tonight. I have a couple of things socked away for her actual b-day on Sunday. Maybe I'll give her the $$ for the gift and she can buy it herself when it comes out in a month.
I'm all excited that I don't have to clean and feed a bunch of adults. I know that sounds bad but I'm not in the mood to entertain and get my house clean just to be destroyed by 15 children. I'm not sure where Rebecca's b-day party will be held but I can pretty much guarantee that it won't be here. If you know us well enough, we plan our parties at least 6 months in advance. Becca wants a soccer party but I don't think any of her friends want to go to an indoor soccer party. Two said they wanted her to do a gymnastics one again. She bowed up and said,, I'll just invite my soccer team then. We have 4 months to decide...
I'll take pictures of the party tonight and post them as soon as I can.
