The Day of the Party

We started out this morning with a call from George's school saying they had no heat and were closed until they could figure it out. Since John had already left for teaching at Owens and has no cell phone, we grabbed a Power Rangers activity book and his art kit (phew, thanks again for that one Jeff & Meghan) and headed to the office after dropping Estelle at school. The rules were "Quiet" and "Listen to mommy". He did great and I'm thankful that nickjr.com isn't blocked because he was focused on that for about 2 hours when I wasn't using my computer. For the afternoon he went over to his friends Ian and Marina's house. Their mom said he can come over any time because her kids actually got along with him there.

We weren't sure who would not make it to Chuck E. Cheese, especially since all the kids from his class had to stay home today, but only 2 didn't come because of that. We had 21 kids who were exhausted by the time they left, darn good pizza, and quite a few tokens left over. George has been making a birthday party list for about 8 months now and was happy that the 5 girls his age whose names he constantly asked how to spell and his former pre-school teacher Miss Jenn all came and had fun. That was really sweet of her! We had 2 cakes - one white and one chocolate - and he chose rainbows for the frosting. Thankfully we have very little left over.

He did get some presents even though we'd said don't bring any. He used his Chuck E. Cheese tickets to buy a cool tye dye shirt that he's now wearing to sleep in. Planning on letting him sleep late in the morning tomorrow too.

Only bad thing was with all the craziness of the morning I didn't bring the camera. Hmmm ... a return trip there might be ... oh no what am I thinking?!
