Slumber Parties are they worth it?

Well this a was a busy week of birthday's. On the 19th was Callie's birthday and then on the 23rd was Maddy's. Not to exclude Father's Day. We decided a few weeks ago that we were going to let Maddy have a slumber party, when we first discussed we thought we will let her invite maybe 6-7 girls, but she changed our minds for us when she invited all but two girls from her softball team. So we decided that if she is inviting that many we might as well invite the entire team plus a couple of other freinds and family, we had the potential of having up to 14 8-9 year old girls. Can I say I was scared to death and began to hope I got called into work, no such luck though. Friday came and the weather was bad so the pool party was over so we began to scramble to try and figure out how to entertain the girls so we started figuring out games and such to play. the time arrived and we had 3 girls show up so Paula decided to take them bowling which I guess they had an absolute ball. We had one girl we couldn't stay the night but mom let her stay until she was tired which was about 11:00 pm. We played games did a pinata, which I don;t know if I will ever do again, to many kids trying to get the candy while the hitter is still swinging. We also had the family party friday night. The girls had fun and were real hyper at about 11:00 or so when i took the other girl home we put a movie in and told them it was time to calm down 3 hrs later they finally went to sleep. Overall it was stressful for mom and dad just because of the extra kids but ya know it was it worth it. Yes it was Maddy had a ball, will I do it again probably just because of how much fun she had I know Nikki will have the same amount of fun when it is her turn.

Watching

Not alot has happened the last week I know I said that on the last post but hey I'm serious this time. I did have kind of a nice moment last night I woke up at about 4 am this morning and was laying in bed and looked over and saw Paula laying there asleep. And my fiurst thought was man she's beautiful and as I was watching her the lights were just light enough and seemed to be shining on her and I thought she is an angel and then I realized she was my angel and always will be. This lasted a few minutes until she moved. What is great is I will always have that memory and image in my mind.
