So as soon as I manage to string 2 or 3 posts together I get hammered with a kiddo's birthday and out of town guests AND illness! It was a 1-2-3 punch. Oh, and I failed to mentioned that I worked an unheard of THREE days this week! LOL.
As a parent I think one of the things many of us dread is the Chuck E. Cheese experience. I have skillfully managed to avoid this for 5 whole years. I finally ripped the bandaid off that one this weekend for my son, M's, birthday. I hadn't originally wanted to do it there. I am more of a home party person - especially for little kids who don't care. My husband, on the other hand, wanted to do it elsewhere. That would have been FINE except that we get such a late start planning every year. (*More on late planning later...) I managed to score Chuck E. Cheese online.... at 9:30 in the morning! Who has a party at CEC at 9:30am?! We do! And let me tell you... as much as some of our friends were grumbling about the time before the party, they were THRILLED when they arrived at a clean venue with very little competition for games! We got a million extra tickets & tokens for booking early in the day and doing so online. The kids had a blast and all in all I would consider party a total success. We kept the location a secret from M until we arrived and I thought he was going to explode when he saw the giant mouse on the side of the building.... Totally. Worth. It.
