Pre-Teenaged Mayhem!

On Friday we had a total of 11 screaming 12 and 13 year-olds over to jointly celebrate Ellie's and Ciera's birthdays respectively. (Ellie: top row, third from the left)















Activities included an action packed relay as Emily demonstrates below. And an Egg toss that got way out of hand according to this innocent bi-stander.













The highlight of the evening may have been the impromptu water fight that broke out between two parties. Two doors down 20 unsuspecting boys were celebrating the 10th birthdays of neighbor twins. The gals sauntered over singing a sexy rendition of "Happy Birthday" and when they were feet from the crowd of confused young men (conveniently clad in swim trunks), the girls unleashed an enviable firestorm of water balloons.

Of course an act of such aggression did not go unpunished. The boys retaliated with an all-out counter attack. Screams, shreaks and water everywhere was the resulting chaos. Fun was had by one and all.

The evening ended with a tasty helping of smores and a few unexplained tearfully dramatic moments. Lord give me patience for that which I will NEVER (nor want to EVER) understand... the fragile emotions of teenaged girls. YIKES! Last time I checked, they were ALL still on speaking terms as if nothing happened at all. I just don't get it. Quite frankly, I don't think they get it either. Oh well, all's well that ends well I guess.
