I am sitting in my house at the moment enjoying the peace and quiet secretly dreading Saturday yet looking forward to it at the same time. Saturday, gate night, is the day that I as the good mom I am trying to be decided to throw a halloween dress up party for my youngest son's 5th birthday. Sigh..... think the migrane is kicking in allready. A room full to capacity of 5 and 6 year old kids hopped up on sugar and cake for 2 hours under my direct supervision - WHY MUST I DO THIS TO MYSELF??
Lol all kidding aside I am looking forward to this party for some pretty big reasons! 1) Halloween is the best holiday of the entire year! What could be better than going door to door with kids who are too young to be able to count (and thus notice there are a few less chocolate bars in their bags the next day) trick-or-treating? Yummy chocolate, chips, licorice, etc... 2) This tends to be a hard time of year for our family as this October represents 4 years since my husband and the father of our children passed away and celebrating in style with an occasion such as a halloween party is a great way to boost spirits, especially for kids. and 3) due to financial constraints, moving and the maturity level of my youngest in pervious years this is his first full out birthday party and I am loving every minute of his countdown to his "Halloween Birthday"!
This party, 5 years in the making is going to be alot of fun. Pop, chips and a space alien birthday cake, kids in costumes, prizes for games they will play, what could be more fun for a 5 year old! Still once the fun is over I will be glad to be done for another 6 months before the next child has their birthday. Planned it well this year though, its not every year that Halloween comes 2 days in a row for kids.
