So Katherine’s birthday is in a couple of weeks, and we’re having her Official Party next Sunday. In a remarkable display of constancy for a 7-8-year-old, she wants to have a swim party (again) at the rec center (again), with a Hawaiian / Tropical / Luau theme (again).
It’s also interesting as she works on her guest list. The fact is, she’s a bit of a tom-boy, and would (with a very few exceptions) invite an entire group of boys to the party, eschewing the girls. It’s an interesting insight into her socialization right now.
Went to the Party Supply Store today. We still have a fair amount of thematically appropriate decorations from last year’s party (a good chunk of which were from De’s murder mystery). Nonetheless, we ended up picking up invitation stock, and more decor (that will end up in her room), and more cheap leis, and the now-required party gift bags for the attendees. Hawaii/Luau is a popular theme, it appears.
More exciting news as it happens.
