Star Wars Birthday Party: The Numbers
30 inflatable light sabers were blown up by Jeff while sitting in the car in the Target parking lot.
72 chocolate cupcakes with Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire decorations were baked by my mom.
23 of Bob's closest friends bounced in the bouncy house at the indoor playground.
3 shoving matches broke out in the bouncy house at the indoor playground but none resulted in blood injuries or insurance co-pays.
2 Jedis were tipped 15% for their non-union acting and spectacular swordplay.
6 minutes were spent with Bob trying to work out the logic of how Anakin and Darth Vader could be in the same room at the same time if they are the same person.
29 boxes of Ewok Food were distributed.
5 extra large cheese pizzas and 28 juice boxes were consumed.
1 more annual appearance by the Princess Leia caftan.
And 1 extremely happy 5-year-old Jedi.
It was a good day.

The force was so with y'all.
ReplyDeleteWow. You had 23 five-year-olds at a party?! You'd need an entire Jedi army to deal with that!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing.
All I can say is- what are you going to do for his next birthday?
ReplyDeleteTake a nap, honey. You deserve it.
"6 minutes were spent with Bob trying to work out the logic of how Anakin and Darth Vader could be in the same room at the same time if they are the same person."
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my favorite. You are an amazing and patient mom to be able to do this. I hope the boys treated you to something for mother's day!
I was going to say what Anne said. Such a crack up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a party you throw! You looked great! (again) :)
Dude. That. Sounds. Awesome.

I've just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the logic of having 24 kids, yet 29 boxes of Ewok Food were given out. Who had seconds? Or were there adult Ewoks?
ReplyDeleteUmm. Did my invite get lost in the mail?
ReplyDeleteyou spoil him!
ReplyDeletewhile each of these things are fabulous unto themselves, the thing he'll remember in adulthood is how much prettier his mom was as princess leia than carrie fisher was. best mom ever!
