Out of the blue this afternoon, Clark walks up to me and says,
“I hate Papu.”
“Why?”
“Because. He eat Liv.”
Oy, he’s so stinkin’ cute.
I just came back from the store where I purchased supplies to host a dinner/movie/birthday party for Liv and 8 or so of her friends. We’re making Bats and Cobwebs, a baked pasta dish with bow tie pasta, slices of italian turkey sausage, and chunks of mozza that melt into the “cobwebs.” Since it isn’t Halloween, Liv decided to call it Ribbons and Bows instead. They’re watching Penelope tonight, so I also bought a big box of popcorn and Junior Mints. I’ve got a bag of balloons and a couple colors of streamers so they can all decorate/destroy her bedroom.
I like these older parties. They’re easier than the younger ones in many ways. Provide food, they’ll entertain themselves. Of course, I still have to get the house clean and cook for a crowd.
I should take my mom’s approach, as in, “It’s your birthday. Which means I birthed you. You should be throwing ME a party!” 🙂
