The Party

WOW - what else can I say. The ultimate result of Isaac's birthday party was very unexpected.
He invited 29 kids all total - at least 14 RSVP'd and only 9 showed up - and 3 of them were his friends brothers. Oh, and by the way - no parents stayed with me to help. When 2 parents from the PTA said they would.
I was not expecting that - I had ordered a sheet of cake - vanilla and chocolate. I ordered 4 large pizzas {which at the end of the party I gave one pizza to the workers at the counter for helping me} the children ate one - so guess what I got stuck with 2 extra pizzas. I hope Isaac is hungry - what am I talking about he is always hungry {lol}.
I think I wasted more money between wasted cake and undrunk sodas and uneaten pizza than I did for the party itself.
But you know what? My son was so happy to have those friends around him and celebrate together. They were laughing and playing so hard. Not a care in the world - not worrying about being quiet or not running - they were having a blast! And in the long run - that is all that mattered. I got some great photos that I will post shortly. I did not finish the whole roll of film as soon as I do - I will post them.
My guy is 8 - I can't believe it! He even looks older to me - lol. He is playing with his new toys right now. But he did not get little kid toys like usual - he actually got big kid toys. I guess he is growing up. I am not ready for it - but I guess I better get ready because it is happening whether I want it to or not.
OK - well I need to get off of here and get this house cleaned up - there are wrappers and boxes everywhere I look.
I will post more another day - we love all of you guys that take the time to read our blog and keep up on our day to day lives with us.
