I’m a survivor
Mar 23rd, 2006 by Leimamo
That’s right, I survived Kamalani’s birthday party at Chuck E Cheeses. There were 13 children present. They had a great time, Chuck E & Staff kept the children entertained and Kamalani was especially happy that she got so many Bratz dolls.
I don’t remember which t.v. show I was watching but there was a mother who did special things with her children on their birthdays. She threw parties but not the type that kids have grown to expect. Rather than inviting a bunch of kids to pig out on cake and ice cream she had them do creative activities then later they drove to a Senior home and presented the art to the elderly people. How friggen special is that, right? I told Kamalani we should do something similar on her next birthdays too. Maybe make some artwork for the pediatric ward at a local hospital or something. I don’t know, just something that will make her understand how fortunate we are to celebrate our healthy lives.
I don’t think I have to tell anyone that she gave me a look that said, “HULLO grams! Have you finally snapped?” She’s only 6 years old afterall, I think that was way above her head but it’s the thought that counts, yeah?
“Survivor” of Chuck E. Cheese’s is right! We dread descending into that maelstrom of hyperstimulation, and staggering out likely suffering from a dozen different viruses and bugs. Yet, we still return, summoned by relatives or even occasionally seduced by the siren song of a place that hosts a party, entertains the kids, and cleans up for you…
Hey admin guy!
I wanted to hold her party at home but our weather has been so unpredictable and I didn’t want to chance having a bunch of hooligans running amok in my house in case of suprise snowstorms. I’m giving her mother an entire year to plan her next birthday party!!
BTW, the upgrade works great. Everything still seems to be working properly.
Mahalo plenny!
