| Notice the look of fear on the Party Hero's face. |
Typically when you book a birthday party out of the house, your involvement as a parent is limited to snapping pictures and beginning the happy birthday song. You pay to keep cake out of the carpet and to keep your blood pressure down from not having to entertain your children's friends for two hours. Turns out the rule does not apply to 7-year old boys in bowling alleys during cosmic bowling time. The combination of the black light and the gyrating lasers turned them wild. It was
Lord of the Flies
at the bowling alley.

| Adding extra sugar in the form of gummy bear spectators was probably not a good idea. |
There were only ten of them. Ten twitchy, jumpy, ready to party seven year old boys. They bowled, they danced, they wrestled, and then they "allegedly" kicked the birthday girl in lane number 18 who tried to keep them from stealing her bowling ball. That's when I declared cake time.
Next year, I'll be looking for a padded cell to have his 8th birthday party. But they'll probably have a blast there too, just like they did at the bowling alley mosh pit.
Boys truly are a mysterious species, part tough guy, part mommy's boy. Thanks for keeping me running for the last 8 years Jack. Happy birthday.

In theory, that idea was phenomenal though!
Awwww! Happy Birthday, Jack! And I'm still giggling over the extra sugar in the form of gummy bear spectators on the cake... ;)

LOL! I remember those parties so well! That poor birthday girl in lane 18! Funny post!
Makes you appreciate teachers all the more.
My kids get a party every other year. Cuz that's how long it takes for me to recover from the last one. :)
I had no idea what my mom went through for birthday parties until I became a mom myself! Even the simple parties take so much out of you. But it's like childbirth, isn't it? You forget about the pain when you see the wonderful pictures. The cycle repeats itself until the kids are old enough to complain when you say you want to throw them a party! :D
That cake is PERFECTION in the form of confection. The extra sugary spectators MAKE the piece...sure they amp the attitudes, but adorable!
You're a wondrous mom, and uber photogenic, too!
Thanks so much for linking up...I just did the same!
Happy Belated to your sweet bowling boy!
