Today’s the day. We spend way too much money for way too much sugar, bad pizza and corny entertainment all for the sake of the love of our children. The last count was 20 kids with Emma and Lexi and then all the parents. Scott finally overheard the number of how much we were paying for it last night and about had a cow. I can’t really blame him but but there’s not a whole lot of negotiating they allow at Chuck E. Cheese.
All kidding aside though, I’m actually really excited. We pick up their cakes from the store today at noon. Emma has High School Musical and Lexi has Shrek. I’m still confused on why they picked those but to each his own–at least on birthday cake decorations. The girls are super excited and I can’t wait to meet all their friends from school, especially their "boyfriends", and to see how they interact with them. I’m still standing by my rule for this one though, "There’ll be no kissing at this party!"
I’m a little concerned that we have so many worlds colliding today…family, church, school…and how it will all mesh together. Not so much for the children because hey, they’re going to be running around screaming in a constant circle for an hour and a half, but really for the adults. Of course, everyone is probably just going to have their eyes glued to their children, trying not to lose them amongst the crowd that no one will even have much time to make it a social event. Yes, somehow I’m making this event about me and my lack of social skills.
Pictures and update surely to come later today…
