So, a sleepover with 14 little girls definitely falls into the what was I thinking category!We had a Hannah Montana party complete with dancing, singing, LOTS of junk food, and of course Hannah Montana videos.
Fun was had by all.But thank goodness it's over! And thank goodness for Joe who just wants to go to the movies with a few friends.
You are so brave! Maseys birthday was yesterday too! She turned 11. She had a Pirate sleepover with 8 girls. I am so tired. They were up until 3 am and Masey and 2 friends were up until 5:30! Hannahs party is next friday!! Love your blog. I cant believe how big your kids are. New baby is very cute!
ReplyDeleteSee once again Denise you prove to us why you are AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteWhat were you thinking? Wow, I can't believe you pulled this one off!!! You are amazing, that's all I have to say.
ReplyDeleteI would rather fold socks(which is one of those monotonous chores that I hate doing), then host 14 screaming 9 yr olds.
I guess when you're going to do something- you do it big! That's great. I have to ask though... why so many girls? I know some moms do parties on certain birthdays so when they have them- they go big.... is this why? Or was it one of those mom times where you just couldn't say "no?" I'm not judging- just asking how it evolved.... you know, curious.... cuz 14 kids? Wow!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I hope they both had a wonderful birthday...it looks like they did! You are "SUPER MOM", they both will always remember their wonderful birthdays...you are awesome:)!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave. All Ethan wants to do for his birthday is go flyfishing! Yep, pretty easy!
ReplyDeleteI was justing wondering why. And when I said "one of those mom times when you can't say no." I didn't mean you personally... I meant all of us- a collective "you". I appreciate our discussions on family guidelines and rules. For example, we have differing rules on sleepovers. I appreciate that we can speak openly and candidly about those topics. I don't judge or think my way is better - I feel that you and Troy seek inspiration and make the right choices for your family and where you live. I respect that. When I visited, I learned so much about how you "ran" your home and I, as you know, incorporated some of those ideas as soon as I got off the plane! So it was just something I was wondering as I was reading your post- I probably could have asked it better... But you know how I compare myself to everyone- I was thinking that I had to know thy why to determine if I should do something better when it comes to my birthday party policy.
ReplyDeleteWhich we just adapted a new one and that is they can have a party every other year. This is the off year- thank heavens!
You definitely are Super Mom!
