Sophia's pool party

Words cannot express how excited Sophia has been about her birthday party.  Well, the big day finally came - this past Saturday.  From 1-3 she was "The Queen".  Wait...let me take that back.  She told me she thinks she's "The Queen" from May 9th through My 14 because my/her due date was May 9 and she was actually born on the 14th.  Crazy!  Perhaps a little narcissistic?

It was a fun party.  All of the girls went crazy when we finally got in the pool at 2:00, but before then they played the limbo game and musical dots and were running around the room like insane girls on fire.  They were so loud!  It must be their age.  Actually, I'm reading a book that I picked up at our favorite local used book store and it's all about the 7-yr old personality characteristics, milestones, behavioral trends, etc...  AND - from what the book says, they were all acting like 6-yr olds!  At 7 we can expect Sophia to become more introverted. 

Anyway, like I said, her party was fun.  The girls ate pizza and cake.  Played a few games, swam for 50 minutes.  Changed clothes and then went home. 

We didn't open any presents at the party.  Actually, nobody opens presents at their parties anymore.  Maybe at family birthday gatherings, but not at friends-only birthday parties. 

Here's Will and the girls waiting for the party to begin.  

This is Sophia's friend, Paige.  She's in our Girl Scout troop.  She was the first to arrive.  I took a lot of photos during the limbo game, but upon reviewing them, I was at a terrible angle and none of the pictures are appropriate.  Bummer!
