It’s Been A Long Day

Well, it’s settled. Eric is having a little “bowling party” tomorrow with a couple of his friends and his family. I told him he’s not getting a big party this year, or any other years for that matter. He’s getting older and he’s a big boy. Plus these birthday parties are getting outrageous. I’m pretty satisfied with the arrangement I have with the bowling alley though. We get 2 hours on one lane, hot dogs, and a table set up for $50.00. All I have to bring are the people, the gifts and the cake. I like that it’s only 2 hours, too. I mean 2 hours is plenty, but it’s also not too long, and Eric is happy so that’s all that matters.

I was going to order his cake, but no bakeries had Star Wars cakes.. and Target’s bakery HAD them, but were all out of the decorations. Eric said he didn’t care though. He said any old cake would be fine as long as it said “Happy Birthday Eric”. That made things much easier. I’m letting him invite 2 friends to bowl with him along with me, and my parents and sister. He should have a good time, and that’s all that matters.

I was starting to think he wasn’t going to be able to get in at the bowling alley. I called nearly every one in our area and none of them were available for any type of party tomorrow, except the one right by home. I called them last only because I couldn’t remember the name of the place to look it up. So when I went out earlier I looked to see what it was called. I know I should have planned all of this ahead of time, but I wasn’t really evensure we were doing anything for his birthday because of his behavior, but he’s been doing good as of late.

About Those Books Again…

As I’ve mentioned on numerous other occasions, I have a bunch of childrens books that I am planning to sell. My son has outgrown them and I want to use the money from the sale of the books to go towards more age appropriate books. He has a ton of books for beginning readers through first grade level, so I was thinking before I post them up on Amazon, eBay or Craigslist (I’m not sure which, yet) that I would mention it again here to see if anyone may be interested in any of them. If you might want to buy some used childrens books that are in either new or excellent condition, send me an email to angela {at} coveted {dot} net and let me know.

He has several Junie B. Jones books, tons of Dr. Seuss and Disney early reader books. He’s got a complete 10 book set of The Magic School Bus books, as well as tons of others. So if you are interested, just let me know. :)
