slices of life

Sarah had her birthday last Tuesday, and her party on Sunday, so she is definitely nine. We arranged a party at the Y, where she and her friends frolicked in the Adventure Center for a while, then adjourned
to the pool where I became the de facto chaperone for the boys, who found so much amusement turning the shower temperatures up and down for one another that I had to nag them to finish up, and they were
lucky I did, as there were 1.2 pieces of pizza per person left by that time.
She received some new Bey Blades (tops you can launch and pit against one another in an arena), and was spinning them on the floor upstairs, so I set up a saucer sled. She asked why, and before I could tell her, she'd figured out that the sled could act as an arena, so she tried it out.
Lately, her nearby friends seem to be tied up after school, so she's all for us going to the Y, where I can exercise and she can run around with whoever's there for a while. This seems like a good idea all around, and I'm glad she suggests it. Then when we're leaving, she asks if she can have some decaf, which she likes to muffle in enough half & half and sugar that it's about like a liquid candy bar.
This morning she was in the driveway finding loose sheetlets of ice so she could put them under her feet and slide around. I'm glad we live in a world that provides her with so much entertainment.
