The birthday girl, Amelia, is not in the picture, but trying to get seven kids in the picture represented the afternoon very well. As a couple of the adults noted, getting kids to sit down at a party for a group picture is similar to herding cats. I wish that I had stopped laughing long enough to take some video of this particular episode. The rest of the party was fun and there were no major meltdowns from the kids.
At first, I admit that I was wary about this party, but I'm glad that I attended. All of the kids were super cute, especially the birthday girl, and two years old is a pretty freaking funny age. Well, at least the rugrats are funny to people like me, who does not have a child. The party also confirmed that I am not ready to have kids of my own, at least not in the near future. I can handle my nieces and nephew very well, but I think that's because they are family. Like I stated early, I love kids, but I admit that I'm selfish enough to enjoy having this time in my life to myself.
A couple years ago, I felt a little weird about a lot, and I mean a lot, of my friends having babies. It felt like being left out of a club. But now, I am loving the life I have now. I like hanging out with my single gal friends. I enjoy being able to go to a baseball game at the last minute. I love staying at home on a Saturday night and not really caring if that's the cool thing to do. Oh, and I love my new Wii, but that's for another post. :^D

I like the new look of your blog! Yes, enjoy yourself. I was just looking back at some of my pre-baby blogs and I barely recognize that life. I wouldn't change what I have...but you are right to appreciate your situation...and I have to live vicariously through you!!
you make me want to have more going on in my life that i don't want kids, but i live in minnesota. unfortunately, it is not legal for women to have a life of their own or wear skirts above the shin.
