Emma's Birthday Party

Last Saturday night we had Em's 7th birthday party! She really wanted a slumber party so we came up with a semi-short list of people we wouldn't mind sleeping at our house. We had 3 girls from the b-ball team, 3 girls from her class, Gigi, her friend from kindergarten that we still hang with and the boys. We had such a great time I can't even believe how smoothly it went. I got to meet some parents of the girls in Em's class so hopefully I can get some play dates going on with them. Emma has really made a nice group of friends so I am happy to have them over. They all had pizza for dinner. I had made some snacky stuff for the adults, but they didn't really eat it and some of the girls polished off the shrimps I had set out instead of eating pizza! Gigi brought her own bologna! Anyway, after dinner they played and watched HSM2, talked to uncle Greg on the computer and before I knew it it was 10 o clock and no one was tired. I brought them into the TV room (by this time ALL adults had deserted me) and we played HSM on the Wii. They all sang one song, which took forever since we had so many peeps. After that they laid down in the bedroom to watch HSM 2 AGAIN and by 1030 3 girls were asleep. By 11 the boys were asleep. By 1130 I turned off the TV and laid down with the last of them.

In the morning...the boys were up first at 7am!!!!....they wanted to start making an art project. I had set out stuff the night before but never got around to it. So we started cutting and gluing and ripping and drawing until we couldn't make anymore art! Here they are all at the table. Notice it is still DARK outside!


Shelby and Em enjoying some cereal on the floor since the tables were being taken up by starving artists. GET IT? STARVING artists? They hadn't had food yet??? GET IT?
Em was very impressed by Shelby because she was the only other one there that sang EVERY word to EVERY HSM song ... WITH feeling! She even did the dance moves while she sang. These two have a lot in common besides their love of HSM so I hope they can hang out more.


Also on the agenda at 730 AM....some twister! Jordan bought this for Em so they ripped it open after eating some cereal. They didn't quite grasp the rule of not being able to rest your butt on the floor!
