Where a Kid can be a Kid

 
 
 
 
Logan wanted his 6th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese this year and he only wanted BOYS. He made that clear that it was boys only. This was not that easy to do. The schools do not allow us to send invitations to kids in classes. I had a partial phone list of kids in his class and I started to call but then either didn't get an answer or line disconnected. I then waited on call backs and got none. So, I did an address hunt looking by phone numbers in the white pages online. No addresses came up for cell numbers and I didn't have kids last names either to know if I had the right addresses. I ended up collecting 6 addresses total. I got worried Logan wasn't going to have any kids but I had 5 reserved spots yesterday and today called two others and ended up with 7 kids. Two ended up not showing up tonight but Logan plus five was a good number for a party.

This was the easiest party ever. Someone cooked, someone cleaned up, someone even cut the cake and served it. Total it cost me was around $90 - probably the cheapest birthday party I've ever had for Logan. We did buy a cake separate but that's it. A friend kept the tots at our house so we didn't have to chase three toddlers around there. It also wasn't that crowded for a Friday night. I couldn't have picked a better night. Logan really enjoyed his party and the company of his friends.

Two mom's didn't sit with us b/c their daughters were with them. Since Logan said "all boy" they didn't want to disturb his party. I found out later one of the daughters fell off a sledding game and her mom rushed her to the ER. She has a broken collar bone. Poor thing. I haven't spoke to them yet to find out more details. Another mom called to tell me.

Logan got more legos, two star wars light sabers (red and blue), $30, and a speed racer. He's very happy!!!
