Birthday party checklist……………complete
Well it’s almost complete………………..I need cups and I just have to pick up the stuff for the loot bags and I’m still trying to figure out what else I can put in there………………I have a juice box, two small packages of sweet tarts, a fruit roll-up, a Hannah Montana sticker and that’s where I run out of ideas…………….I don’t want to do the normal pencil and eraser thing but finding something that is low in cost is really difficult…………any suggestions please forward them along………….lol!!!
So I am so exicted to have all this bought………………..and as you remember I had to buy it off ebay so I bought the last of it yesterday……………….I had major money flow yesterday as I got off my bottom last week and sold a full big and I mean big sized rubbermaid container full of clothes from my daughters that they grew out of………………..and I’m so proud that I sold all of it but one little set………………and it paid for the last of the decorations, and outfit for my little man, and outfit for my drama princess and some birthday presents for DD and some new Hannah Montana curtains for her room because she wants a Hannah Montana room………………so we have to paint it anyways so we figured we would let her pick everything out on her own……………….so I also got a mural of Hannah Montana too on ebay for $8.95……….what a steal……………..it’s 40″ by 60″ so that’s really big………………and DD is so excited for it……………and I’m happy that we could get it for her with the extra money I got from selling her and her sisters old clothes…………….and I’m also happy that I have one less rubbermaid container full of clothes upstairs so therefore less clutter for me……………….WOO HOO!!!!
Oh yeah I have to get presents for Lucky cup, plate and napkin as well but that’s only what maybe $30 if that……………probably just get some crayola gift sets and we’ll be set……………..and besides they are gender neutral as I won’t have to buy a boy and girl gifts for both……………….like I did last year……………the silly woman that I am!!! LOL……I had soooooooooooo much stuff left over last year that I ended up throwing most of it out in the garbage and donated the lootbag stuff to the needy so they got some surprises from it………………..
I guess you can call me over the top when it comes to birthdays but it is after all only once a year and I’m sure in another year or two she’ll just want girls to stay over and have pizza and a movie so I’m enjoying while I can………….
My daughter also shares her birthday with my Dad……………..and I’ll never forget that day I seen his face………….I’m lying in the bed breastfeeding my newly born daughter and he stands in the doorway so that he doesn’t see anything………….he’s very private that way………….but that’s what makes him Dad…………….and his face was just beaming……………of course it was beaming……………he’s baby (me) just gave birthday to his first biological grandchild on his birthday (not that my Dad treats my sisters any differently or even his grandchildren any differently I guess it was just bittersweet for him………….afterall I was biologically his so I can see why he would be so delighted…………….and of course there was the fact that I only lived downstairs from him in the basement apartment of his house……………..lol……………..so he seen me and the baby everyday……………there was just more of a connection there…………..it’s hard to explain without seeming like my Dad only cared about me and not my sisters……if that makes any sense…………….my Dad afterall did adopt my sisters so in reality they are his daughters just like I am……………..anyway enough of that you get the picture……………….and again I’m digressing……………..lol!!
So Birthday party checklist 95% complete………………….yay for me!!! Less stress until the big day of her party……………lol………..
