Bob had two requests for his birthday. He asked that we have the party at the indoor playground at the mall, and he asked that we have a theme. At first he thought he would like the theme to be his favorite show, "Sponge Bob Square Pants." After much consideration he finally decided the theme should be his favorite band, Black Sabbath. Related: There is no Black Sabbath aisle at Party City.
Bob helped put together a playlist of his favorite songs to make into CDs for party favors. Bob's musical tastes lean heavy into the 1978.
Bob's godmother also made these rad chocolate guitars to give out.
Kids arrived and did things in this thing.
Party Room B was decorated.
The cupcakes were unpacked.
Mr. Rosenberg and his friend, Mr. Kwong, donned wigs and played "Iron Man" and "Happy Birthday." Party Room B has never rocked so hard.
No, that's actually not Howard Stern, but rather a quite fetching Mr. Rosenberg.
A number seven candle was blown out by the birthday boy.
Bob said it was his best party ever. And I didn't even have to wear my Princess Leia costume.
I want to come to one of Bob's birthday parties. And props for including Baba O'Riley on the CD.
ReplyDeleteYou have a standing invitation! xo
DeleteI agree - best birthday party ever!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday to Bob (and his excellent musical taste)!
XOXO

Thanks, Anna. You're rad. xo
DeleteThis cracks me up so much. You are an incredibly loving and caring mother. Maybe by next year he'll have discovered the Beatles. Not that there's anything wrong with Black Sabbath!
ReplyDeleteYes, The Beatles. We can only hope. xo
DeleteWhat a cool COOL kid!
ReplyDeleteI am rather fond of him. xo
DeleteWow. You are a great mom. And I can't believe Bob Rosenberg is 7. Sniff.
ReplyDeleteYes, seven. It sounds so much older than 6. xo
DeleteI miss the Princess Leia costume.
ReplyDeleteI still have it, just in case. xo
DeleteI can't believe Bob is 7.
ReplyDeleteGREAT party, but I admit that I missed the donut ears this year.
Yeah, the white polyester caftan stayed in the closet. xo
DeleteBut you'll bring the Princess Leia costume to BlogHer, right? Not sure I'm going to be there, otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI don't leave home without it.

So so funny! Bob never stops surprising me. Happiest of birthdays!
ReplyDeleteIs Bob single?
ReplyDeleteThat sounded creepy. I am asking for my daughter. I swear.
This is hilarious. I just keep picturing the looks on the faces of the other parents when their kids brought home those CDs. I wonder how many of Bob's friends even knew who Black Sabbath was before today. Most of my 15-year-old students wouldn't know. (I do have one boy who's into classic rock, though.)
ReplyDeleteBob taught some of his friends the main chorus to Iron Man before the party but most of the folks there were new to this. We'll see if there's a sudden drop in play-date invites...
DeleteThis party Rocked and made my entire week. It's the Matchinga's favorite new road trip CD and did I mention that it ROCKED?!!!

So much awesome! Based on the play list, your son and my 50-year-old husband apparently have much in common.
ReplyDeleteYour Bob has awesome musical taste.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe Rosenburgs Rock! Happy Birthday to the Bobster. x0 N2
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that is hilariously awesome!
ReplyDeleteRock and roll, Lisa! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHe did have The Beatles on there: Helter Skelter. Maybe Come Together or Revolution #9 might appeal?
ReplyDeleteI think Bob and I need to be buds, and I really wish you would adopt me.
