Wayyyy OT

17 years ago

My baby will be 5 tomorrow. I can't believe he's growing up so fast. I'm such a bad Mommy and I haven't figured out where I'm going to hold his party yet. When my others were young there were so many kiddie places like Imaginarium, Jeepers, etc but there's nothing anymore for really little ones. The Discovery Channel headquarters is located fairly close by and I'm going to contact them to see if they have any kind of interactive tours and a party room. There's no way on God's green earth that I'll allow 20 five year olds in my house. I'm too old for this already. lol

    At least 13 yr old girls are more interesting then 5 yr olds and it was only about a dozen girls. I could just see setting twenty 5 yr olds loose at the Marriott! I wonder how fast they'd throw me out? lol

    We can always start a Lotto!!! I am thinking of PRIZES as we speak..LMAO!!!

  • 17 years ago

    Ah how fun though!!!...I'm sure you'll find somewhere fun :)

  • 17 years ago

    Oh girl, better you than me! I can barely stay sane with my grown kids all in one room!
    Five year olds, gives me the shivers!

  • 17 years ago

    Oh 5 is a fun age. I vote for some kind of animal activity, lol. Or mud is always good, lol.

  • 17 years ago

    Kristy everyday is an animal activity with my menagerie! lol Seriously though the companies that do the animal parties bring the pets to you and I'm not having a pack of 5 yr olds in my house. One is more then enough! If he had a summer birthday I'd have a pool party. It figures that none of my kids have summer birthdays. I don't think any of us even used our pool this year. We only used the club pools. A big waste of space and money. Sometimes I think I'd like to fill it in and use the area for gardening.

    20 5 year old oho you are a glutton for punishment lol I bet some good memories will be made. I vote park party Oh I like to play a game when I was little where you hide something fun and who ever finds it first gets a prize kinda like easter egg hunt but not easter and not egges lolol. Hide and seek. HMMM zone 7 huh probably not warm enough for water balloons. Art day everyone finger-paint! Lol you have your work cut out for you!.
    Cant wait to hear how it goes. Good luck

    Cassie I'd rather pay someone to entertain them at that age. lol I'd probably have a heart attack trying to chase all those kids around at a park. The other issue with an outdoors party is the weather. If it was raining I'd be stuck taking them to my house, noooooo!!!!!!!

    Chena it was last month that I had the girls at the hotel. I did her party there the year before as well. The hotel is perfect for tween and teen girls. I get a couple adjoining rooms and the girls can use the pool, spa and exercise room as well as run the halls and have elevator races. lol I just leave a really good tip for housekeeping : )

    Karyn,
    Happy Birthday to Kyle!

    Happy Birthday Kyle, your good mommy will come up with something fantastic for your birthday party :-) Karyn, do you have something like Chucky Cheese closeby? We always found the kids had a great time in there.

  • 17 years ago

    The Chuck E Cheeses are not in the best neighborhoods in this area so that's out. I'm not even sure if they are still in business around here.

  • 17 years ago

    Oh boy NO clue yet on what he is going to get for a party ?

    Maybe Kyle gets to peak in here :-)

    Karyn, around here this time year there are several pumpkin patches that have parties and kids decorate pumpkins,and instead of corn mazes like they have for older kids they have hay bale mazes......anything like that around there?

    Oh karyn you brought back some great memories for me. I had a gameroom so that was designated for parties for my daughter. I loved having the kiddies in the house. But I was in my early 20s so I was a kid myself. But I also new that one kid was about all I could handle in one lifetime.
    LOL

    One party was all about magic I hired migician that kept them busy and entertained for 2 hrs. Because her birthday was early Nov I had a Halloween theme one year. Her 5th birthday was Cinderella with the Carriage cake. I hired people to take them all on the Cinderella Carriage ride around the property and played games, cake and sent the little buggers home.

    I do not have any suggestions but I wish you well I do not know what I would do if I had to entertain 5 years old at my age now. It might turn into a funeral for me party.

    Happy Birthday to Kyle !!!

    Karyn, if Chucky Cheese is not working for you maybe you have a McDonald with an enclosed play yard. We do have them here in Ca. Hope you find a solution.

    I booked the perfect place, an indoor water park. I'd forgotten all about that place until my DD suggested it. The only problem is that the first available opening for a party is on 11/22. Kyle seems fine with that. They gave him a party at school and we had a little family celebration last night.

  • 17 years ago

    now I finally got my answer lol.

    Sounds like super fun on a cold day!!!

    Hey if Kyle does not mind having it a month later...maybe he will not mind ...as he gets older lol...to have a party during summer rofl. Just kidding lol

    Lucy

    What a great idea, indoor water park.
    A fine time will be had by all I am sure.

  • 17 years ago

    Sounds perfect. Can I come? Lol.
