So I am going crazy trying to make sure that everything is perfect for Dakota's 6th birthday party this weekend. Working hard to get the house spotless (which is relatively easy compared to keeping it that way). If I had the money I would put us in a hotel room for the week so that we could not mess up the house. Of course if I had that kind of money I could just get a housekeeper.
The theme of the party is Ben 10. So I have bought all of the Ben 10 supplies, ordered the cake, and even printed off pictures from the show and my dear friend Kate laminated them. I am cutting those up and hanging them around as decorations.
Of course I still have to make all of the goody bags, but that is hard when you do not have a firm RSVP count. There is also a Ben 10 game to play and I am setting up a table with white t shirts and t shirt pens so the kids can make their own shirts. I think they will enjoy that.
Dennis is providing the pizza and besides the cake and juice, that is all we are serving. I think I am just so nervous about this party because Dakota will have kids from his class coming, and their parents and I want to make sure that we make a good impression, for his sake and mine.
I guess really their opinion of me and my party throwing skills are not so important except that it could affect Dakota. It is hard enough being a kid, but I don't want to give anyone any extra ammunition. I am sure I am worrying over nothing, but I can still remember how judgemental other kids and parents can be and it is hard, especially since they are things that are out of his control.
On a side note....
Dalton has taken to climbing out of his crib (actually it is more like hurling himself out onto the floor) and now he wants to sleep in the room with his brothers. At first I was leery of this idea, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Their room is only for sleeping not for playing and there are 3 beds in there. Plus if they are all in there then I can make the nursery into a gym. Win Win situation I think.
