birthday parties

This fall has been very busy. Most notably, we've been going to birthday parties for the kids at big guy's class. Last year, we only went to one party, after I was "bullied" into going to one last year by big guys teacher. So I've made a point to go to every party so far this year. Being socialable, letting big guy see friends over the weekend, and making sure he's not left out when kids talk on Monday. It's exhausting. The coolest party so far was the first one of the season and at a farm. There was a hayride, pumpkin picking and a hay bale maze. It was really cool!! Subsequent parties have been less cool to downright torture. As a bonus, little man gets to go along and have fun. Mostly he just stares in amusement with the wildness around him.

Of course, this has led to a discussion about big guy's bday party for his classmates. We hemmed and hawed about a great location. With a February bday, we are kind of trapped inside. But we decided on the academy of natural sciences.  We love it there, he can touch bugs and they get a personalized tour around the museum! I'm still debating if I will do decorations, cake and favors or let the museum do it. Gmom Dino and I are figuring that piece out and I'm really excited because she is going to fly down and visit! And she will be here for the family party and kid party! Clean house... Here I come!
