Our little Katy is now 8 years old... and for her birthday she chose to have her first official sleepover. She invited Laura, one of her very best friends to spend the night. We had a church meal at the Pals on Sunday, and the kids were in the pool almost the entire time (only a quick bite to eat, and they were back in again!). We took Laura home with us and the girls played, we sang to Katy and ate cake (her choice was cherry cheesecake again this year), played some more (her veterinarian set was a hit), and then the little girls and Stephen went to bed and Katy, Laura and I stayed up for some board games... Twister (I spun the wheel- it's out of my league at this point in the pregnancy!), Sorry, and Pretty Pretty Princess. We had a lot of fun, and the girls went to bed while reading to each other. The next day Nate treated us to breakfast out and a walk on the Greenway. Katy really enjoyed having her first sleepover and already is making plans for her next one!
By the way, she also read over 25 books in 3 weeks for the summer reading program... each one was 150-300 pages long! She is very into books right now, needless to say. Katy continues to love drawing and nature, too... she's collected over 20 snails that currently live in a terrarium in her bedroom, and she feeds them Queen Anne's Lace and dandelions (their favorites) every morning very diligently. She also just released a swallowtail butterfly that she found and raised as a caterpillar, and she's getting a pet frog after we get back from Traverse later this month (she got the kit as a bday present). I think that's all the Katy news for now... Happy birthday again, sweet Katydid!
