Hello all, sorry I’ve been gone all week, the damned DSL still isn’t working right.

Jarod went nuts over his suprize pizza party at school. I had them send a little four cut just for Jarod, with a big J in pepperoni. He said his class was very impressed. He said he told them that if they thought that was something, just wait until the real party.

Well… the party was insane, but great fun. We had 2 more RSVP’s the morning of the party, we ended up with around 35 kids, and 30 something adults. People started arriving at 1:30pm and the last guest left at midnight, very long….very fun day.

We did face painting, balloon animals, pinatas, scavanger hunts, trivia contests, a couple of crafts, and then the pictures of the kids posed as action figures. The Star Wars lollilops were a huge hit, as were the personalized candy bars.

3 of the mothers asked me if I would help plan their kid’s next party. The best part however was Jarod coming up to me about once an hour to thank me and to give me a hug and kiss, in front of his friends. He told me his friends said I was the coolest Mom ever!

He got everything he wanted, and more. Including really good seats to see Taylor Hicks next week. Logan cleaned up too, Jarod insists that he get  “Thank you for being a good little brother all year” presents.

You would not believe the amount of food we went through, you would think some of these people never saw a buffet before.

My house is totally trashed, so I will be digging out and de-decorating all week. Thankfully, we are coming to the end of the party season. Next week is Ethan’s birthday, he wants a BBQ, after that we are clear until August.

I’m off to read some blogs, and clean my filthy house.
