Paige's Birthday 8th Party

A couple of weekends ago we had Paige's birthday party at skateworld. (Yes, I am behind in posting). We started the day with her last volleyball tornament of the season.  I had a hard time finding a good day for her party this year and I did not realize when I scheduled it that it was the same day as her tournament.  She was not able to stay for all her games, but she did make three of them.  Her BFF from school even came to support her.  She decided she liked it well enough to play again next season.  We can't wait. 

This year Paige wanted a skating party and of course it was Shopkins themed.  We have so many little ones in our family now that we opted to do a private skating party.  That was the way to go for sure!  We were the only ones there so the kids had the run of the place.  They played whatever music/games you wanted and as a bonus we were able to bring scooters and push toys for the non-skaters.  Even the grandpas were skating.  I was very impressed with Jimmy's dad.  He even did the limbo!  Lol Sam was a mad man on skates.  Ha!  He kept falling but loved every minute of it.  He had us all cracking up.  Everyone had a blast, especially Paige.  My pictures did not turn out very well.  Between the fast moving skaters and all the flashing lights most of them are blurry.  

It was a great time celebrating Paige turning 8!

Later that day Caden went to a friends birthday party so Paige and I went over to Amy's while he was there.  One of Paige's gifts was called Yummy Nummy's.  She has been talking about them for awhile and so my mom got them for her gift.  They were not at all what I expected.  They are mixes that you make into mini foods.  Here is the kicker.  They taste like the actual food item.  Paige got hamburgers and fries.  Can you say yuck?  I think the picture below speaks for itself.  I had video of Sam and Paige trying them but of course I can post it.  Paige said the hamburger was gross, but the French fries tasted like mashed potatoes. I wouldn't know.  The smell alone made me want to gag.  Ha!  I can't imagine what the other flavors taste like.  I have seen everything from spaghetti to sushi in the store. I don't think we will be trying those.
