MIL just offered to go to Costco for me since I’ve got a feverish kid I don’t want to subject the other customers to. I don’t think she was expecting me to ask for 200 hot dogs and buns. She’s a champ for going and buying them for me and I only have to call the person to pick up the cooler so she doesn’t cough on anyone’s food. Someone remind me how much effort school functions are if I sign up for an event again.

I booked DS’s 6th birthday party today. I think it will be his last big party. It’s at a park with a playground and we’re renting a bounce house, popcorn machine, and snow cone machine. Pokémon themed, of course. That sounds amazing. I decided 5 was the last year I am not paying someone an event space because I’m tired of planning it all out. I’m expecting skating, movie or arcade birthdays for the next few years before slumber parties become the thing.

The park I get 4 hours and the party is only two, so I can take my time getting set up and breaking down. Also it’s cheap.

Our parks are $50 and don't allow machines because they require a certain kind of plug. I tried to find that kind of place because that is exactly what I wanted but could not pull off.

I'm not making another thread to ask my question. If your elementary school had a carivnal that was a bouncy house, face paint, cotton candy, popcorn, hot dog , pizza and drink sale with games and pumpkin decorating would you feel like something was missing? Do I need to book an actual face painter or can a parent do it? Do I need a fog machine or will the 30 hay bales set the mood?

I think your grandma would 100% understand the patriarchy if explained. Probably better than anyone. She was genuinely asking, so I replied with my best plain speak synopsis. We’ll see how it goes.

Pistol, that is so cute! I am in awe of that talent. I'd buy if you sell, my teens would love it too.

We pay for a generator.

But being in the same metro if I walked into that I'd be like GAHTDAMN. Parent face painter, don't care about fog machine, we'll have real fog by this weekend.

Not sure I would worry about the fog, hay bales is probably enough. I think the kids will have a blast!
