I have survived another kids birthday party. 14 girls doing gymnastics. They ate over 3 pizzas and a lot of cake when they were done. Running and bouncing for an hour and a half makes kids hungry! (And thirsty!) A told me she wasn't tired and that she could do the whole thing again! I, however, was exhausted. Even though all I had to do was hang out, take photos, and serve pizza and cake. Oh yes and make sure we had all of our pink poodle paraphernalia (and no, we didn't have everything shown in the photo above).
I realize that even though these parties are expensive and exhausting, they are part of the fleeting little kid period for my girls. Soon, they won't be bouncing and laughing and telling me their stories and secrets, but screaming and laughing behind closed doors. I love their vivaciousness and their joy. And it is worth the running around, and the money to see them have so much fun with each other.
It is so hard for me to realize that A is 7 and G is 8 1/2. It is going so fast for me. I'm trying to remember to savor these times, and my girls. I know I will love the young women they will become, but I will also miss my girls.
