This party is still in full swing and this is me escaping it! They are noisy and silly. I'm sure I was never like that! It got off to a very rushed start. We had to go register her at school and her schedule wasn't right so it took forever to get it fixed. Then we had to go get the food and cake. Her party started at 5 pm and we didn't get home until 4:35. We were totally scrambling to get things set up. Luckily only a few people showed up on time. She ended up with a total of 25 people, I think. Unfortunately I overestimated the appetites of teenagers. I ordered 2 six foot subs. They ate half of one. Yikes! Once most got here, they started the water games. Two teams, two buckets and two sponges. You had to get water in the sponge, run with it over your head and squeeze it into the other bucket. First team to fill it wins. It was pretty fun. We had 3 Chinese foreign exchange students here. One of them would REFILL his sponge when he got to the bucket so technically he was taking water out instead of putting it in. After that, they did slip and slide grown up style. A big tarp with some baby shampoo. Once the water games were done, they pretty much just hung out, jumped on the tramp and giggled. She's cute. Her friends are really great. They were so polite and not intimidated by parents. I'm very proud of her.
