Today we had Summer's Half Birthday party. Our guests showed up and the young ones all played while we older folks chatted for a bit. Then we broke out the pizza. The Tiny Overlord had her piece whole for the first time - we usually cut it into strips. She enjoyed having a whole piece like a big girl, although she ate it by peeling the cheese off of the top and then scooping the sauce up with her fingers.
Afterwards we all went outside and the youngsters played in the kiddie pool and in a sprinkler toy. We also had bubbles. Apparently the Tiny Overlord has encountered bubbles before - she squealed with delight and started chasing them. When everyone was tired and quite thoroughly soaked, we headed back inside for cake and presents.
The cake featured Thomas the Tank Engine. The Tiny Overlord quite approved of the picture, but then demanded her cake. She was gracious enough to allow us to share it with her. The gifts were presented to her and she accepted the tribute of books, a beach ball and sidewalk chalk delightedly.
The Tiny Overlord waved and said bye bye as her guests had to leave. We played with bubbles some more and watched a few episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine before it was time for dinner and bed. She told us about her day excitedly - "play pool" and "bubbles" were words that featured predominately. She's sleeping now, and we hope she's having fun dreams about her day.
