In the last two months I have had three birthday parties. I am so glad that they are done. Jacobs was the most recent and we threw him a Pokemon party of cours
e. I planned lots of little games then tied it into a pokemon character. Then they put them in their Pokeball in a little folder that I made.
It was probably the most fun birthday party where I spent the least. The biggest expense was probably all the ink I used on my printer to print off the pokemon. This year I put all my energy into the party and so the cake wasn't very exciting.
I love to give my kids birthday parties and sometimes that just means cake and ice cream, other times it includes games and a meal too. I do not feel any pressure to perform to a standard of birthday party excellence- No jump houses, party hall destinations, and extensive party favors(does a piece of leftover cake count?) After growing up surrounded by extended family, I just don't feel it is a birthday with just my family sitting around the table. I not usually one who encourages my kids to have a sense of entitlement like going to all the lastest movies, watching "their" shows, or having their special foods everyday. But when it comes to birthdays I want to celebrate. Thank goodness I am done for the year. Except for you Dave and I am planning the best birthday of all.
This is our favorite present game.
Heavy Heavy Hangover thy poor head,
What do you wish this person with a bump on the head.
Then they have to wish the present giver something nice. If you think it is weird blame it on Dave it's his family's tradition but we all like it.
This is the caterpie game. They had to make a cocoon from toilet paper. This is Tom inside the TP. When we were done I asked Tom if he had fun. He said "
Well I felt a little like a potty."
