A Successful Birthday/Slumber Party!

Katarina has successfully turned three! And her mommy has successfully made it through her first slumber party! We ended up having her 3 year old cousin, a friend from church who is 6 years old, and another girl from church who is 12 (she is close to Katarina, but she was also old enough to be a help to me!)

Lots of Presents!!

I am just finally getting caught up on my sleep, but it was worth it. We piled up lots of blankets on the living room floor-moved the couch-and watched movies and ate a cookie cake. We let the girls stay up very late (because everyone knows that slumber parties aren't really about sleep) At 12:30 I went ahead and put Katarina and her cousin back in her room in bed so that they would get some sleep. Her cousin fell asleep immediately, and I layed down by Katarina and talked to her for a few minutes. Then the sweetest thing ever--she looked at me and said "Mommy, I had a good birthday, it was so much fun. Thank you. I love you very much" That made up for any lack of sleep on my part.

Thank you for all the birthday greetings on my mommy's last post!

This weekend I am determined to do nothing but rest! Okay, and blog, but that is pretty restful-just sitting, reading and typing!
