Birthday by numbers

[ciroccoj]

Sixteen kids. Thirteen boys, three girls. Ages five to twelve. Ten families. Nine home schooled, seven regular school. Six pizzas. Two lactose intolerant, two vegetarians, one peanut allergy. Eighty-two homemade cookies, four types, no nuts. Two cakes, custom made, one Wall-E and one TaeKwon-Do. Four hours.

Going to bed now :)

Glad you got through it. :)

So very grateful it's done. Justin keeps saying, "It's too bad it's over already!" and I'm glad he enjoyed it so much but adsflkjhqerpoiqejad in a saucer, it was a looong four hours for me. I'm still sort of in post-party shock.

That sounds equal parts fun and exhausting. And now I want cookies. ;)

It was :) :) :)

And the cookies were a huge hit. Two of the kids saw me packaging them up for the loot bags and were so happy it was really touching. Kids can't fake that kind of enthusiasm. ::happy sigh::

OH GODS I KNOW THIS PARTY.

*high fives you*

You may now go sleep the rest of the Righteous and Worthy Mama. Because someday, our kids will have kids, and they'll say to us, "What. The. Fuck. You really were a miracle-worker, with those joint birthday parties when I was a kid, Mom. Thanks. Those are great memories. Also, have you got any rum? Because the kids just left from little Janey's party here, and I think I need some, STAT."

OMFG I did. Like a baby. And by that I mean soundly, not waking up and crying with gas every two hours ;)

ROFL I read this out to Chris and we've repeated it a few times since. "Also, have you got any rum?"
