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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Went to the Party Supply Store today. We still have a fair amount of thematically appropriate decorations from last year’s party<\/a> (a good chunk of which were from De’s murder mystery<\/a>). 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.<\/p>\n

More exciting news as it happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
