Party Time: Eight is Great

On August 22nd my big boy got a little bit bigger. We celebrated his birthday at Pump it Up with some of his school and scout friends.

He wanted a video game themed party. I partly feel bad because there wasn’t really much about it that was geared towards video games besides the Super Mario Bros cake that we got from Sam’s Club. They did a pretty great job for the money. And, you know what? Will didn’t mention once anything about not having more video game related party stuff. That really goes to show that it really doesn’t matter if our birthday parties are “Pintrest perfect” if the kids are having a good time (despite how much I want it to be).

Having it at Pump it Up was GREAT! They did everything! We just had to show up with cake, a cooler of drinks, and some snacks to hand out. The kids had a blast and they even did the party favors (for cheaper than I could have). Even Clara and Kate had a good time, despite them looking slightly bored in these pictures. Of course, they might have gotten a little attention from MaMa and Mammy at the party.
