halle has been begging me to have a party for her, a late-night, pj party. i hear reminders everyday....after i crimped her hair, "oh, i wanna crimp the girls hair at my party" or if we drink koolaid, "i want to have koolaid at my party" or hear a certain song, "we should dance to this at my party".....i had a free friday, so we went around to the neighborhood girls with invitations , and we had the funnest pj party. we had 10 girls total, but since they were neighborhood friends , their ages varied from our cousin lucy, a couple 5 year olds, 6, three 9 year olds, up to 11 years old. i didn't realize how much fun this would make the party because it wasn't just chaos....all the girls came in their pjs. first we had dinner. halle wanted mummy dogs (hot dogs wrapped in cresent rolls) and kiki wanted mac and cheese. halle wanted koolaid, which was a huge treat and kiki wanted me to make jello, two things i never make....kiki wanted me to buy potato chips and halle asked for a chocolate cake, which the girls decorated with candies. after dinner i got out all our nail polish and tooth picks. one of the girls brought a nail decorating idea book and the girls did pocka dots , sparkles, ect. for an hour!! then we went up stairs and they put on make up. i put on eye liner and mascara on all the girls and they thought that was pretty cool. then they played for a while and then laid out their sleeping bags and watched a little bit of a movie while i crimped hair. then we had cake and played the wii. it was such a fun night! i can't wait to do it again! halle and kiera were so giddy and giggly the whole night. it is fun to do something so easy that i know will make them sooo happy!

we didn't want to leave our cousins out of the party , but knew it was just too girly. so lynn had a boys party at the same time for her boys and the neighborhood boys. they had a fun night too!

we are really lucky to live in such a nice neighborhood with some really fun neighborhood kids. we have been going out everyday from after school time, when all the kids get home till night. the weather is awesome and the kids are having a great time!
