party Planning
I have never been a big birthday celebration person. Sure I like the cake, ice cream and even blowing out the candles. But, parties have never really been my thing. I had one big birthday party at my grandmother's house when I was either 7 or 8. That was it. My grandmother would have loved if I had big parties every year at her house. She loved everything about parties. If she hadn't become a nurse she probably would have been one awesome party planner. I guess I am not big on parties partly because my mom wasn't either.
I didn't think my son would want enormous birthday parties either and for 9 years he really didn't. But, this year all that changed for his 10 th birthday coming up in December. I have a huge headache just thinking about it. He wants all of his newly friended neighborhood kids. There are two whom live directly across the street. And the rest live down the block he just met a couple weeks ago. I am not sure if any of them
Would come since when he asked the two across street one immediately chimed in and said they can't come they have football practice without even knowing any other details. I chalked it up to kids being kids. But, I remember when I was a kid and someone said birthday party with free cake, ice cream, and goody bags I was begging my mom to go. I guess times and even kids have changed. They don't get excited about simple backyard parties anymore. In this case a parking lot party since we don't have a backyard or a bigger place. I was hoping by this time we would but life had other ideas. I just do the best I can.
So, anyway, in late November I will set out on the task of putting the finishing touches on a party that I apparently need to start planning today. I just hope it doesn't rain.
