This year we skipped the big birthday party Kelsey usually has and as you read on the last post, we took her to dinner. I promised she could have a slumber party with a few friends. She had her party this past saturday. It was a whirlwind of chaos but I think everyone had a blast. Scott and I set up the tent on the back patio for them, complete with a tv and air mattresses.
I think I was a bit more ambitious when I was shopping than I was when the party actually arrived. I bought tie dye and tshirts. It was extremely messy so not sure I'll try that again. I think the kids like the results, but it was something I'd never done before so I know that you need a lot more dye than it looks like or it doesn't soak all the way through the shirt. But it was still fun... I suppose. I didn't want to send the kids home with dye all over their clothes so I was a bit OCD about them touching the stuff, but it worked out.
Another first for me was making Pizza on the barbeque grill. Still wondering why I thought I had so much energy. But it was a hot day and I really didn't want to heat up the house with the oven. If i was smart, I'd have bought the pizza at Papa Murphys and then put it on the grill, but nope, not me, I bought frozen dough and did it myself.
The rest of the night consisted of the girls playing games, smores over the fire pit, making braceletts and a movie. This morning we had waffles and fresh fruit. Oh and whipped cream, Jocelyn obviously enjoyed the whipped cream. :)
