Having Parties

February 18th, 2009 at 03:26 pm

I have found that it is a little cheaper to have my children's birthday parties at home. I do have the prep and clean up, but I don't have to pay a salary for me to do it. Last year worked out great, this year should be good too.
Right now, I am having a little problem with my tax check. I keep trying to spend it before I get it. The IRS says that 2/24 is the soonest I will receive it. Why do I think that gives me free reign to buy the children's pants at full price? I spent about $80 at Target Monday. I know that my oldest needs bigger pants, but I shouldn't be spending my money that isn't mine yet.
I will go to the Salvation Army today and find some steals for both kids. I am also donating a lot too.
I guess I am just a little on edge about all the people coming to the party. I know that it will be fun, the house will be clean and ready to go by then, and then next month, we will do it all over again.

    I personally think home birthday parties are the best. All of my birthday parties when I was growing up (except my 9th at Chuckie Cheese) were at home. You can just be so much more relaxed. If you have relatives coming, ask them to help out with the setup and clean up, if they don't offer first. Smile

    Check out freecycle, people always post left over party favors and I agree home parties are much better
