I'm right there with ya on the birthday party thing. I forgot my email address on the invite, I have received responses from 6 out of 27 kids so far. (party is Sunday) When I get up to around 12, I will be hoping that no one else can come..12 is plenty!! I ordered 30 cupcakes, extras will be welcomed here. I have 27 little plastic treasure chests that I can stuff a couple of days before, only as many as the number of responses. If someone else shows up, I can stuff one really fast at the last minute, then I can return all the unopened extras to Target.. I am having a treasure hunt with a map, still haven't figured out how to do that, I want it to go throughout the neighborhood. I was thinking of just having a blank piece of brown paper, reading it myself, and just making it up as I go along. I am sure one of the kids would want to look at it, though..
We have let everything I wanted to achieve fall to the wayside this long weekend. The thank you notes from CHRISTMAS are still unwritten, we didn't read AT ALL...I am teaching my children well in the art of LOSERDOM...
