So, now that school is done we are wondering what to do, what to do? Without sunshine it is kind of a bummer. We are planning birthdays and cleaning rooms. But we haven't really gotten so far as to clean rooms. Just planning birthdays.
We have an alternate plan this summer. We are giving the older boys a "birthday allowance". They are being given an allotted amount of money to plan their own party. They can spend it on a party or they can save it and have no party. But they are in charge. They have to figure out the prices, the invites, the everything. It's going to be great. I usually spend all summer planning parties. Since everyone gets a kid party and everyone gets a family dinner. That makes for 6, count 'em 6!, summer birthday parties. That's ALOT of cake making, party planning, present buying, and chaos corralling. I will still plan Jack's. Can't really expect my 6, nearly 7 year old, to plan his own party, but soon....very soon. He is writing his invite list as we speak.
