Well I figured it's time to hit up blognation. As it turns out our lil
daughter recently celebrated her day of birth. Which is an event in
itself, but add the ole wife and it's taken to another level, not o
sweet kids first birthday lets have some people over, let the little
ones play, and kiley can eat cake, more like lets get a theme (which in
itself reveals a situation with the parents, a theme party...let's
bring back to life our glory days of our drunken retardedness, only more
beer money went to applesauce and juice than i previously remember) so a
theme was chosen, Kileys Candy Land. then the house/backyard was
transformed into a board game. Just the word board game in itself would
seem like a harmless transformation, but add Kelly and Lewis has an
issue, and we got same damn colored squares from the game going
intertwined throughout house and out back, remodel shed for King Candy's
castle for the climactic cake eating, lollipops, candy canes, frilly
crap strung throughout...list goes on. Only way I can seem I came out a
little bit ahead was that I didn't have to dress up as a character from
the game and recruit other minions to do so as well, and believe me
this was a strong possibility leading up to the party; as well as a
shitload of candy, which is a basic necessity of mine, right next to
coors light.
So party was awesome and all do to the wonderful wife. I am more of a
halfasser when it comes to matters such as this, so good thing Kelly
takes any event/holiday to extremes; although one day when kiley will
say she is two and a half years old, it is not a valid reason for a
party or any other random festivities she would cook up. And I am
grateful/proud of all that kel did for kiley and the party, I hold true
to when such labor and money is involved the recipient should be able to
remember such an occasion (effects of alcohol are not included in this)
The climactic "smash" cake. So let's get a mini bday cake for kiley to
"destroy" in front of an audience-it'll be so cute. Wrong, no
destruction of such pastry occurs, and this is from several encounters
with such smash cake. A tasty sugar filled treat for a youngin' to
devour, only problem, they are a year old, never seen a cake before,
dont know what they are looking at or what to do with it. there is 2.5
minutes of watching a baby poke a cake, eat a little, and pay more
attention at the random feeling in their hand from wet sticky icing.
Havnt witnessed a child successfully "smash" a cake. But party was
great, Kiley had a grand ole time. Best present goes to me, for getting
my daughter a kickass purple power wheels 4-wheeler. This gift almost
never happened, because the wife was thinking practical in regards to
this but not so much in the over the top shenanigans that she was in
charge of. So I conceded such gifts for future birthdays until an eye
opening moment occurred. Kelly out and about with her family that was in
town running errands for the party, lewis and kiley sitting on couch
unsupervised, kiley drove drunk daddy to go play at toys r us, no
rational to deter us. Victory kiley, victory. So year one daddy:12,
mommy: way to many. Next year, an upgrade if
mommy ever goes out of
town. And yes I am serious.
