Happy Birthday Pirate!
OK so this post is a little late in coming... but mamma has had her hands full.
After changing the date & locations a few times... we agreed that we would have the Pirate Party at Chucky Cheese's.
(Can I just say in the 9 years of being a mommy, I have never just popped in to Walmart to pick up junk at the last min.... I am all about baking the cakes, cookies.... planning the theme, the decorations, invites etc.)
At 5:45 (15 min. before the party is to begin) Margot calls me to say the CHUCKY CHEESE'S is CLOSED.... C L O S E D... What the %&#% Lying Little /&%¤... Wait til I get a hold of the little brat working last weekend... Mmmm hmmmm.... But in the mean time...
I have 10 children on their way to a closed Pizza place, & ice cream melting all over my childrens laps. To make a L O N G story short... I run screaming into McDonalds...begging them to let me have a birthday party like RIGHT NOW.... & the whole thing turned out great...
OK... Not a party I would have planned on having...but Eva thought it was AWESOME....
And Bjørn has been asking me for the past 9 years.... "why don't I listen to the kids & do what they want... instead of what I think is the perfect party"... I save a ton of work & the kids end up thinking I am the best mom ever..... Maybe he is on to something.
As promised a post about Eva's CLASSY Pirate Party.
Before we left for the states... the kids (DANE) got the idea to have Eva's B-day party at Chucky Cheese's. Unfortunately, the only Chucky Cheese's I knew of, had been closed down (probably by the health department...N I C E.) So I promised we would do something fun... even better.
But as luck would have it.... when we arrived to Kansas City... they had built a BRAND NEW Chucky Cheese's by my parents house.

My girlfriend Margot (Martha Stewart of the Midwest) offered to get a party planned for me before we came over to the States.... but because Eva was dead set on having a Pirate Party & not something cute & pink like mommy wanted... I said not to bother... I would swing buy Walmart buy some goodies & a cake....

Margot asked me several times if I SURE this new Chucky Cheese's was open because the 
website said it was not.... "OH YES.... Of course it was... " I had gone in and talked to the girls... Although it wasn't "officially" open... they were there training, but we were more than welcome to come up with all of the kids, play games, have Pizza.... they would even put Ice cream in the freezer for us... YADA YADA YADA....

*** Did a 40 min walk at the beach today.... & when I say "Walk" I mean climbing rocks... running on the beach.... I am pretty impressed with myself. 2 days in a ROW... the big test will see if I can get my butt out to walk/Hike after work....

And, just listening to you all about Eva's party had me stressed out. Too many last minute problems. lol Love the classy pirate comment though. hehe As long as she had fun, it was a success!!
Fantastic news that the McD's was open and ready to have a party. Spur of the moment parties can go either way... thank goodness yours turned out great!
Sweet photos too!
Good job getting out to walk!
I love the pics, boy do they look like they had a great time - at Mickey D's no less - you can feed kids much cheaper on a dollar menu (lol).
Way-to-Go!! on your hard-core exercising...Keep up the good work!!
Yay for you on the walk/hikes!! We are rocking it!
What's Chucky Cheese normally like & what food do they do? I've heard the name but never been in one.
Plus keep up the walking.

Good job getting that walk in!
Great job with the party. And it's true, kids tend to like the less planned parties better!
and the Chuck E Cheese thing cracked me up! Could the health dept have closed them due to all the PEE found in the ball bath?!? LOL...
And I am ALL FOR a meeting sooner than later! if there is a chance you are coming to DK, tell me when and where and I will be there! :o)
Glad Eva had such a good time :-)
