countdown to party 4 Ben
It's Ben's fourth birthday party this Saturday and it's going to be a blast! We handed out invitations to the kids in his daycare group and no one got back to us, until two days ago. I figured that everyone was busy or on vacation so I could just get back to planning for the usual guests, but now we have a bonified kid's party, and I'm suddenly wondering if I have what it takes to impress a 4 year old. That seems kinda pathetic. We're doing a superman/hero theme. I'm making a superman cake, we have party favours, etc. I am making capes for all the kids (there will be 7 guests + Ben + his sister). Steve is handling the games and general child herding. In the happy fog that I was in because I was so happy that Ben would have his friends there, I completely forgot that this would also mean at least one adult per friend, maybe two if they had nothing else to do. With the usual suspects, family members, kids, and their parents, we're now up over 30. I need to make a bigger cake and pray it doesn't rain because we'll never get that many people in our house.

Happy birthday to Ben! Four is such a wonderful age. It sounds like the party is going to be a blast. Don't be surprised, though, if some of the parents don't stay for the party. I think a lot of folks (me included, unless I'm friends with the grown-ups hosting the party) are happy to drop off the kids and pick them up at the end. More cake for you if they don't stay!
No, parents stay, it's a little young to leave them alone. Feel free to drop by with the young-uns if you want!
