no one slept,

everyone was hungry for snacks at different times

not one of them wanted to watch the same movie

and there were tears and fights over who would lay nest to lil

so finally at one

i made everyone stand against the living room wall....

and lights out

i fell asleep sitting up on the couch!!

then i hear a little voice and feel this little cold finger...

lily's first birthday bash/slumber party

i am gonna post pictures later...i have to find the cord for my camera...and wait til you see them
lol
what a day
this was my shirt
i made t shirts for lilys friends...they said lily's 7th birthday bash...
then they all signed them and had their names on them...I had twin boys,
i figured it would be the only way i could keep track of the names..
so it began...at 3:30
we had,
maggie 1..she lives down the street
megan, she lives next door
chris and steven, the twins,
maggie
katie
mark
tyler
abigail
ben
savhanna
paige
emily
lily
abby
allison...
i may be forgetting someone...
but anyway...as they trickled in, the fun began...lmao


we played hot potatoe
to the beatles..
kids ..
tyler turned to me and said, even if i lose, i still get a prize right...
and they all needed something every second they were here
shit got real hectic when after the hot dog and french fry lunch
and in between clean up and cake
ben had a melt down when mark and stephen got into a real heated discussion about the woodland hills redistricting
lmao
ben is autistic
and is VERY sensitive
remember when rainman got really upset and started screaming
yes
that went down in the dining room
he just kept repeating,
this is just not going to work
this is just not going to work
and started crying
lily and katie actually know how to settle him
i was amazed...he doesnt make eye contact with anyone ...but lil and kate
so freaking cute


so..we did hot potatoe and egg races...lol
the rain ruined my scavenger hunt
i did pictures of clues...like a picture of the flowers..but i cut them up and they had to put them together..then figure out where to go
RAIN
dam rain...so that was out
they liked just playing and i was acutally sad the boys left
lol
they got into jared and collins room, found all the guns and were in there glory

and this is where i am at now...




we have switched rooms 85 times,
there has been actual tears shed...
fights over who is going to sleep next to lily
why wont she sleep by me
i am hungry
i am thirsty
i don t to watch this movie...
so ...i let them kind of go for a while...i had kate and the two maggies, lily, abby, emily..all of them
all set up and one by one
they go upstairs
then they need another drink
another snack
then another fight
more blankets


so finally
LIGHTS OUT
we are all in the living room
good night
i am over it
lol
i love that she is happy,
althought i had to deal with the lily drama of
"THIS IS THE WORST PARTY EVER"
and then two minutes later...she loves me and everything ...
lol


happy birthday lil
first and last slumber party

my sweet lily....

and is getting older...
