Sleepover Birthday Party…. I must be crazy

Leave a Comment

I am almost in my third trimester of this pregnancy and I have agreed to let Jillian have a sleepover! Yes I am a little crazy! I kept the guest list small… even though Jillian invited an extra person not on the original list, it worked out because only 3 girls could show up. To top off my crazy, I caught a summer cold, yay me!  We set up the tent for the girls to sleep in. Overall the party was a success. Adrian only had to talk to them once about keeping the noise down. In the morning Adrian made pancakes for the girls and everyone was happy. I was exhausted but it turned out ok! One thing that this party did was remind us that we are going to have 4 girls! WOW!! Haha lots and lots of estrogen in this household.

Slime

I finally gave in and made slime with the girls. We went for “fluffy slime” which includes shaving cream. I also learned that not all glues are created equal, so even though Hobby Lobby put the glitter glue under the slime sign, doesn’t mean it would work! We used up all of our backup glue to get Jillian’s and Claire’s to turn out. Olivia didn’t want glitter and hers formed instantly. It’s funny because Jillian was the one asking for slime for months, and Olivia has been the one to play with it the most.

Jillian’s 9th Birthday

I cannot believe that I have a 9 year old! She is a funny quirky thing who still loves Minecraft and Pokemon. Her lasted career choice is to build robot plush animals. Basically she wants to build a dog that doesn’t eat or poop. To encourage this route, we bought her a couple robot building kits for her birthday.
