A day of birthdays

Yesterday was the day that Brantley was invited to 3 parties. The first party was at their home. They had tons of food and a bounce house. I told Lawson he would have enjoyed this one. They had beer for the parents. All Brantley cared about was the Power Wheels truck that the child had and the sand box. (We may have to think about that for his X-mas present.) He didn't eat anything at the party. Oh, and there was also the train that he had to ride around the house in. Since he didn't eat, we stopped at Sonic and got him a burger on the way home.
Yep, this is going to be a healthy day.

The party we had to turn down was at the Pumpkin Patch. It's at Walden farm and I hear it's awesome. I think I'm just going to take Brant there one night in then next couple weeks. I'm actually glad we didn't get to go to this one. My friend said there were at least 30 kids there, no food for the parents, and all the moms were skinny bleached blondes dressed up like they were going somewhere important. This is the part that really got me. They bring out this elaborate spiderman cake which my friend says looked very expensive. They sang happy birthday, blew out the candles and took the cake away. Then, they brought out cupcakes to hand out. What! They didn't eat the cake. What's up with that? What's she going to do with it - freeze it and use it next year? I just couldn't get over that.

And finally, party number 3 at Chuck E Cheese. I had such a headache after the first party, all I could think is do we really have to go to Chuck E Cheese. Brantley had a blast, of course. He loves going to Chuck E Cheese but he doesn't like Chucky. He doesn't like any adults dressed up in costumes. This time though, he got very close to Chucky and didn't freak out like he normally does. Maybe next time he will actually go over to him and I can get a picture of them together.

I tell all my friends that Brantley is such a little leader. It's funny because I'm not really like that. He's very popular with his class mates - again nothing like me. Now, I have video to prove it. Just look at how they follow him. Just think, you could be watching the future Mr. President here.
