I love birthdays!! I'm a big birthday girl. I think everyone should make a celebration out of their birthday. It's not everyday you can wake up and say "Hey I was born today!!" So I'm big on parties and presents especially on birthdays. Christmas is more about giving, Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday (although Mother/Father's day are a necessary. I see this know after having one kiddo of my own). But birthdays are just flat out special and should be treated as such.
Trio's 3rd birthday was on the Tuesday, the 1st. I took off work but we didn't have the party that day due to fundage and the like. But since I took it off I spent the whole day with him just watching TV cuddling on his couch. He also had a sugar OVERLOAD-Pop-Tars (and donuts) for breakfast I think he had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch and to top it all off we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Now Trio is not a fan of the actual person in the suit. Point of fact he runs everytime Chuck E. comes near him. But he loves going to his house. When we drove up and hurried to the doors because it was so cold he was like "Wow!!" We didn't even have time to order a pizza and get the pizza/token deal because he was off so we had to get tokens seperately.
He loved playing the game where you press the button and the ball drops into a hall and gives you the amount of ticket. He loved that kids version of roulette where you pick a color and if it lands there you get the tokens (he managed to hit the 40 one on his own. I know right? o.0) He loved that picture thing. It use to be where someone "sketched" your pic but now they put it on some kind of badge like "Fire Fighter" or "Rock Star". We have like 10 of those laying around in various places. He also liked Skee-ball bu be careful if you play that when he's around. :/
He barely ate (except fries) but hey it was his birthday right? He ended up with aroudn 215 tickets (most of which he got by himself) and ended up with an extending sword thing and Sweet-Tarts. Of course he didn't want to leave. When we were walking out and the worker was waiting to check the numbers on our hands he was like "NO!" and tried to run back into the fun. I had to tell him hey kiddo this isn't even your party. You have one for the family coming up and then one for your friends. You'll be okay.
All in all he had a great day. He passed out from the exhaustion and I was okay with that. I'm glad I was able to give him such a fun day. I will blog on Saturday or Friday night about how the other two parties went!! One is at the Texas Jumping Bean so...wish me luck!!
