We went to a birthday party at the bowling alley today. It was fun, as usual. Kids running around, pizza, cake, video games, cheap candy, noise… good times! On the way out the door to the party I grabbed the mail and found two more party invitations! One to another party at the bowling alley next weekend. Apparently my kids are popular. At the party I heard that there was a party at the bowling alley last weekend that Lex hadn’t been invited too and although I probably should be been put-out my first thought was “thank goodness we don’t have to go to the bowling alley three weekends in a row!” I think they are just the right amount of popular! :)

This is Eve's favorite "game" at the bowling alley arcade.

Group shot, minus one little boy. They tried to convince him with the promise of pizza, little did they know he would be skipping that part of the party as well!

He happily joined in the ice cream cake eating part of the party, including sitting still and quiet during the birthday song. Now he smiles for the camera and Eve plays at being shy :)

We got home at 3pm, all hepped up and ready for a break. After checking out the candy filled goody bags we all retired to separate areas. Eve put herself in her room for some quiet time, I plopped down at the computer to check out for awhile, and Lex is on the floor behind me playing with Lego. Even Alan joined in on the inaction, watching hours of TV in the living room. :) It’s nearly 5pm now though, so I think I need to check back in and get started with dinner. I don’t think it’s going to make itself tonight.

Happy Saturday!
