Saturday was Sam's 7th birthday. He selected Red Robin for his birthday dinner, and sat mouth agape when they brought him a big sundae and sang to him. Today was Sam's party.
Sam went through a variety of ideas while planning for his 7th birthday party. Originally, he wanted to do something at the bounce house. This morphed into having a party at the community center. But we finally extracted that he wanted to do a video game party - which of course meant a party at home. This was going to be a record in chaos, with Mom and Dad the only adults available to help with the party. Things were further complicated when Sam could only scale his invitee list back no further than his closest 12 friends. Adding in Sam, Pete, and Pete's friend, this would be a total of 15 (12 6-7 year olds, 1 8 year old, 1 9 year old, and 1 10 year old). And yes, everyone Sam invited responded that they would be in attendance. The final seating arrangement would be 5 at the kitchen table, 4 at a card table, and 6 at the kitchen bar. We also discovered the night before the party that half of the folding chairs were missing.
