The Party!

Last year we decided it was cost effective and mind-saving to throw a joint party for the older boys.
Parties tend to stress me out... and make my anxiety shoot through the roof. Two kids, one month, one party. It just makes sense!
We have been doing a pool party at a local pool here for three years in a row. We pay for one hour in the gym, one hour in the pool, and one hour in the party room. It is perfect (and inexpensive! Just over $100 for the whole thing plus food, drinks, and cake).
This year had a great turn out and I think everyone had fun. No complaints anyways. Which I guess is a bonus.
We almost ran out of food this year, which is great as last year we ended up eating pizza and cake for 3+ days.
Three jumbo pizzas, a case of juice boxes, 1/2 a case of water, a fruit tray and a veggy tray. Plus the two cakes. All we had left was 1/4 of a veggy tray and 3 pieces of cake.
