I honestly have no idea what's going on in this photo
SLUMBER Party is really a poor title for a girls sleepover. No one Slumbers...everyone just stays up all night being crazy & creating havoc....also known as fun.

Heaven had a 2 part birthday this year. Friday night she had a few close friends spend the night. She'd wanted a camping party, but I didn't think most parents would be okay with their kids actually camping in the back yard (an no way was I camping in my own yard...much less sleeping, or attempting to sleep in a tent with 6 girls) so John being the super awesome Dad that he is built a tent in our front living room for the girls to sleep in. It was definitely a hit. We made pizza, decorated cupcakes, made smores, played with glow chalk, had dance competitions & even watched a little Justin Bieber.

The next morning keeping with the "Camping" theme me and the girls loaded up for a hike at Arcadia Mills Park in Milton. We weren't lucky (or quiet) enough to see any wildlife, but the girls were very impressed with the rather swingy bridge that crossed the creek.


Hikers. Ava insisted on wearing the Southern Belle  costume. It was too early for a fight

Since the Slumber party was pretty limited number wise Heaven had a cookout/swimming party on Saturday so the rest of her friends could celebrate too. We had a REALLY good turn out & thankfully narrowly avoided the forecasted rain showers. We had to finish up the last game of the day indoors, but  for the most part everything ran as planned....that is, as planned as a children's party can be.

5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
