party planning is fun!

here's the invitations i did for the teen to hand out to friends at school:

and the moon bouncer i reserved:
i'm going to order an ice cream cake and have them put the t-shirt picture collage on it. oh em gee, this is going to be so much damn fun!

i must explain, though - there's a reason why we've been killing ourselves to make this birthday so special. not only is she now "the teen," but the extra special attention she's gotten from us hasn't been matched by the dark side. in fact, the treatment from the dark side has been almost exactly the opposite. ugh.

i'm thinking that you can guess what i mean by that. right?

  3. Well as she gets older she's not going to want you to make a big fuss about her birthdays anymore . . . so enjoy planning the best.birthday.ever while she still appreciates your effort :)

    Then you can shift your focus on planning the bean's birthday parties!!

    Oh and BTW, my birthday is in November.

  4. At least the teen will not become the next star on "Sweet 16", crying about how she didn't get the perfect convertible for her birthday present. I can't wait to see how all of this turns out.

    The dark side must suck majorly.

  10. You're such a cool mom! The dark side sounds sucky, but the teen is super lucky to have you to outweigh all the negative.
