We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Party

November 21, 2009 · 22 comments

I don’t have a lot of time for today’s post, but you can bet I’m not about to ruin my NaBloPoMo streak now.  No siree.

So I thought I’d fill you in on Cassidy’s birthday party status.

We did indeed pull the switcheroo.

And left a note on the door apologizing for the inconvenience should anybody happened to have shown up.

There is no indication that anybody did though.

Not that Cassidy noticed.

She was too busy eating her fill of pizza.

And Cold Stone ice cream.

She had gifts to open.

And friends to harass hug.

At the end of her special day she thanked me.  Over and over again.  For “the best birthday party ever.”

She’s not a difficult kid to please.

Which–together with about a thousand other things–makes her an easy kid to love.

When you’re anything other than a nine-year-old boy.

In which case you’re too busy wiping away her kisses.

I am so glad that Cassidy had such a great party with the bestest of friends. I can’t wait to meet you all in December – she just looks like the sweetest little girl and I would be happy to get “Cassidy Birthday Kisses”

Just in case anyone missed it…that is one of Cassidy’s friends wiping off an (always wet) Cassidy kiss!! Good thing his friends don’t read the blog. That’d take years to live down.

Happy birthday to Cassidy. Looks like a fun party. Camryn and I loved to look at the pictures. Here’s a note from Camryn to Cassidy. If you have trouble reading it, it translates to Happy Birthday Cassidy.

Awesome! Happy birthday Cassidy! Love the knee socks(?), *lol* and photo w/ the nine year old boy wiping away his Cassidy kisses!

Cute!

Maybe the knee to the groin had something to do with it?

Awesome! Warmed my heart to hear her comments. :) Glad that you had a great time!

Dude. He’s not wiping the kiss off ’cause he didn’t like it. He’s wiping it off because she’s the reason he’ll never have children (see the knee-to-crotch action happening in the second shot). Anyway, glad you had fun, and happy birthday Cassidy!

I’m so glad she had a fun day! I meant to comment on your original post to say “Proceed with the switcheroo.” :)
