Happy Birthday Thomas!

Today we celebrated Thomas' 6th birthday at the bowling alley. Boy did he have fun! He invited like practically his entire class, which I thought I was gonna go broke for sure, but hey, they're his friends, and it's his birthday and I asked who he would like to have come to his birthday, and I love him to death, so what more can I say? He's worth it, and from the time he had, I'm glad they all came! At least about 5 0r so didn't show for a couple reasons- 5 just didn't call, two went out of town for President's day weekend, one couldn't make it and one had pink eye, so - the rest showed and good thing too - cause I made just enough goodie bags to go around! ;) The party lasted a couple hours consisting of pizza, drinks, bowling for an hour, cake, open presents,and they even clean up and are at your beckon call the duration of the party! All you do is bring the cake and the birthday boy! How easy of a party is that?No muss no fuss! It was I admit a bit crazy when the kids all first started to arrive and you have finally 12 5 year olds all running around the bowling alley like maniacs waiting for the pizza to be served so they can eat then bowl! I think the parents came just to see myself want to hang myself over the situation I put myself in! LOL but But afterwards they wound down and were actually very well behaved- they were just excited to see their friends and all and to get the party started. The party attendant even commented how well behaved they were when she gave the instructions about the bowling to stay back until it was their turn etc.. that they actually listened and obeyed and things went so smoothly, -she was impressed! She was afraid of such a large party that it was gonna be crazy but commented that it was a pleasure serving them.They were all good kids and it was a pleasure inviting them. We all had a great time and 6 kids or 16, I'd do it again. Happy Birthday Thomas, You deserve it sweetie! As for the presents, He got Bionicles, Power Rangers, Rockem Sockem Robots,-remember those? I think it's a right of passage for every little boy to recieve that when he's young!! Movie pack, And a brand New shiny bicycle from Mom & Dad so he can ride with his friends on the street instead of chasing them! { I never DID kow why he did that ! }6 yrs old..*sigh* My lil monkeys getting older ..where does the time go??
