Melissa’s half or August birthday party was a hit. She had three friends over plus her sister, brothers and even her grandma! The girls wasted no time starting a pillow fight up in the boys room which the boys promptly joined in. They did that for about an hour then came downstairs to have pizza. After pizza we opened her presents. She got some CDs, new wallet, new purse, a couple cute shirts, a framed butterfly (real butterfly) and a gift card. After that was cake and ice cream then we headed off to Blockbuster to rent some movies. They picked out Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Raise Your Voice. Perfect movies for a girly sleep over.

They went to bed around 1 AM but there was no sleep happening till after 3 AM. UGH! I was about to separate them but then I would have been the meanie. It was her first real sleepover so it’s all good. Man were they hard to get out of bed this morning! Parents arrived around 10 AM and they were still eating breakfast. We had gift bags to give out that contained girly tattoos for the girls and air plane cut out things for the boys, a pencil, bubbles, a KitKat bar, and party poppers. We never got around to doing the poppers some of them left but we did get a few in before the rest took off.

The dogs had a blast with all the attention they got from the girls, and popping the bubbles. I hope they don’t get sick from all the soap they had to of ingested while they were biting the bubbles. While outside they also managed to dig up a couple Titleist golf balls. WTH? LOL We find golf balls in our yard all the time. I could understand it if we lived near a golf course, but we don’t. It wouldn’t bother me so much if they weren’t a choking hazard for the pups.

Anyway, overall the party was very nice and Melissa had a blast. I’m wiped out… so is Jack, but it was worth it to see our girl so happy.
