Balloons? Check. Presents? Check. Candles? Of course I forgot the candles again! She cries, “Wishes can’t be made with out the candles, Mom!” So I call my mom to help save the day. That’s what grandmas are for right? Picking up everything you forget on the big day.
We load the car and head to Nicole’s Gym. At least I know the kids will have fun. The gym is such a bright, entertaining place for birthday parties. I don’t have to worry about the weather and the kids have so much room to run and play. We walk in and the girls smile and giggle when they see Nicole’s window art. She always adds something extra for the party.
We set up everything and wait for the guests to arrive. I watch the girls practicing their cartwheels and back walkovers. It’s nice to have a minute to relax. My mom shows up with loads of candles to choose from. Let’s see what looks good with the cake. THE CAKE!! “I will be back in a minute,” I scream as I run out the door.
