You did it. The day was a success. And at least you have until February before you have to do it again! I have three of five b’days in September. EGAD.

Ben is turning 4 in 2 weeks and we are having his first “real” birthday party (as in: actual kids at the party, a theme, invites, the works). We picked a bounce house place that basically does it all for us and we limited it to just HIS friends (NO OBLIGATORY INVITES), but as simple as we’ve kept it, I still feel like I’m planning a sweet 16s! I am dreading the small talk with his classmates’ parents…!

So this is what I have to look forward to, huh?

DAMN.

Cake. I happen to be somewhat of a cake expert these days. But I thank you for not asking me to make Jamo’s cake. It’s way to HOT and HUMID today. May I suggest Carvel?

The title was all I needed to know because youi know what? Me too. Don’t care if it’s big or small, old or young, planning or attending, when or where, I loathe birthday parties. And it all boils down to expectations and cake. Parties are never fun, something always makes it seem like a crappy alternative to sitting at home and watching old movies, and the cake always, always, always sucks.
Except yours, I’m sure. Next time invite us.

And another reason I really hope I remember to come back here before our own 8th bday party. Because that sounds like a perfect idea to me!

We have an 8th b-day coming up in Oct in the Trenches. I have already decided that we will rent a bouncy house, and he can pick 5 friends to come play. Nothing fancier than that!
