Yesterday we had Belle's 7th bday party at our local pool and let me tell ya.....it was fun:)
Complete with 15 wild and crazy 7 year olds, 3 even crazier 9 yr old sibling sisters and several wonderful moms who stayed to help and supervise. I think a wonderful time was had by all and I know Belle enjoyed it immensely, since she thanked us profusely on the way to and from the pool! It was nice to be able to still pull something like this off and I am happy it came early on in the "Big C" process because it could have been very overwhelming later on. But I got to sit in the sun for a bit and chat with one of the moms and then watch as all the girls gave Belle presents that she just adores(is playing with 5 or 6 of them right now actually) and saw the joy on all of their faces the whole time.
It brought me back momentarily to the time when you are young and giving the gift and seeing someone else get a cool gift is just as fun and brings you just as much joy as actually receiving the gift. I think we could all do well to remember our younger selves and take joy in everything we can.....after all, no one knows what the future will bring so carpe diem.
Ok that was a tad philosophical for me, but I'm in a mood today:)
Hope you all are having a wonderful day.
Blog ya later-
