Yesterday we had Timmy's "friend" party at Bounce U. I was not wild about this preferring to just have family parties with a few friends, but Timmy has been asking ALL YEAR LONG! He even asked Santa! So here we go-we decided to go with a budget party-hey we're not made of money here and it was a good deal-since we brought our own cupcakes, napkins, plates, & goodie bags it was quite reasonable! The kids bounced for an hour-30 minutes in each room and then they had cupcakes and games for an additional 30 minutes. We could invite up to 15 kids-this is what irked me most! We invited 13- (Timmy & Austin were the additional 2) but only 7 RSVP's! One was a no, but 6 did say they were coming. I even asked my sister & brother to come with their kids.......hmmmmmm...they never responded either. Of course, they were last minute invites, so we'll let that part go.... verall Timmy did say it was the BEST party ever!
