It's Diva W's birthday today (I know right it's like October is the magic month in our house). She turned 7, which means she's showing ATTITUDE but I digress. I am just so not the birthday party type of mom, I wish I were but I truly dislike having to do cake, and grab bags and on and on. However, just because I don't like to do birthday parties doesn't mean I won't.
Diva W has had her first real birthday party with friends from school, last year we only managed to get one friend and some of my dayhome children rounded up for a party. This year we planned ahead and had the party early (like the end of May early). We went glow bowling, think dark bowling alley, two lanes 6 screaming girls and 2 boys, cake and presents. Can you see it, can you picture all the action packed fun we were having....I just bet you can. If you can't just wait your turn is coming. Anyway I am thankful Diva W had fun and that she had no grand expectations but wait I found out not long after the party that I was mistaken. See Diva W asked all her friends that were coming to her party for just one gift and only one gift.
Diva W has coveted her brothers DS Lite for about a year now and she asked all her little friends to please get her one for her birthday. I knew nothing of this until just recently after the party was over and I was shocked, okay not completely shocked but a little. Thankfully none of her friends could afford a DS Lite or little Lucy would have had some splaining to do. Needless to say she got Hannah Montana stuff and bubble wands and skipping ropes (yay). BTW we did chat about asking for BIG TICKET items like DS Lites from your friends that it wasn't okay to do that sort of thing. She's smart she got it (uummm hummm I think we might have this chat for a few years)
So here's to Diva W may she also find many happy birthdays waiting for her in the future and maybe a DS Lite.
