So. My birthday sleepover.
Twenty minutes before time, Elizabeth and I were running around, trying to get everything done. Then Fizzy showed up first, just as I guessed. Then Haley came, and the next person after that came thirty minutes later.
At one point I saw a car, sprinted downstairs and out the door, and guess what? It was our neighbor. Yippee.
So, anyway, after everyone got here, I made them do a scavenger hunt on the computer. And for some reason, I didn't connect it well, and it skipped half the things. But that's okay... At the end there was this page that said, "Find the N in the sea of M," and there were no Ns... but that was just to keep them occupated as I ran off and brought back the prize-- colorful flip-flops with cut-up strips of bandana. For the next thirty minutes or so, we tied the strips around the straps of the flip-flops. Then Fizzy kept complaining that she was hungry (she always is) so we went downstairs for tacos.
RIGHT when Hale was about to pray, the doorbell rang, and it was Syd. So we awkwardly watched her make her taco, then we ate.
After dinner we decorated the cake with M&M's, gummy bears, and gummy cherries. Sam did something with the gummies, but... I won't say what. It was... um... hmmm... yeah.
But, anyway, the cake turned out really interesting, complete with a ping-pong table, a swimming pool, M&M smiley faces, and gummy bears trying to impress other bears. (Not my idea.)
After that we kinda sat around until my mom got back to watch the movie, cause she wanted to see it, too. But a couple of minutes before she got back, Nikki came back from volleyball. We played Man in the Dark until my mom got back.
And then we cut the cake and started the movie! We watched Soul Surfer... It's a really good movie. It's fun to watch the other people who haven't seen it squirm in suspense and wondering when she'll get bitten.
Anyway, after that, we were all tired, so we squashed into my room and went to sleep. Nikki left at 6:00 in the morning for volleyball. And when I woke up, Sam was sleeping outside my door.
Breakfast was bacon, eggs, cantaloups, bread... milk, orange juice, lemonade...
We played FlashPlank, a game with a camera, but that didn't work too well, even with the flash.
And shortly after that it was time for them to leave.
Lewz was left last. She was eventually picked up one and a half hours late.
Thank you for coming, Sam, Skandie, and Elizabeth!!
