I love having a September birthday and when we planned to try for our first kid I was very excited that they could also be born in September. That excitement is really diminished when you have to plan a birthday party for an early September birthday. Sevea starts school and literally days later it’s her birthday. What if she makes new friends? Knowing addresses for old friends or ways to invite them is a struggle. And handing out an invitation at the start of school means pushing the birthday party into later September or October. Or in this year’s case…NOVEMBER! But little secret between me and you, it was so late due to me and my lack of just planning it. #momfail
My laziness or forgetfulness or whatever ‘ness’ I can blame it on turned out to be great thing. Sevea decided she wanted a sleepover costume party. Remember we learned November is after October in school so guess what? All the kids had Halloween costumes and were so excited to put on a fashion show for us.
Brynna, Grace, Sevea, Addie, Cohen, Breanna, Eloise, Kalli, and even Troy really rocked their look. Next up things took a silly turn.
You could really tell they loved the catwalk and working their poses and making the camera work. Cohen just might be growing up in a boy minority home :)
Presents were opened. A pillow fight ensued. Pillow sack races were ran. An ice cream sundae extravaganza was held. A movie was watched. A giggly group of girls stayed up late talking and just being girls.
But the night did end and the girls of course woke up way earlier than their bodies or brains would have preferred…or at least mine was telling me it was too early. They ate some breakfast and before we knew it the sleepover had come to an end and all the girls had returned home. It was a huge success and Sevea felt very special. Mission accomplished even if it happened 2 months after she actually turned 9.
