Me? I can hardly do anything out of a box and even that is hit and miss!<br /><br />While I emphatically declare no fancy birthday cakes, the reason is that I am jealous. :-)Cagey (Kelli Oliver George)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13691589813815058981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-86039196045537122262010-06-29T19:50:09.410-05:002010-06-29T19:50:09.410-05:00My childhood birthday parties were either at the z...My childhood birthday parties were either at the zoo or such (just like you described) or were the same backyard party our group of friends had most every weekend, except there was a cake and they sang to me. I have the best memories of those birthdays. Mom also always did a special breakfast on our actual birthday (flowers, waffles with fruit and whip cream, and a birthday crown to wear) and Carahttp://thefloridalife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-13695784757503519712010-06-29T16:33:23.198-05:002010-06-29T16:33:23.198-05:00I like low key birthday parties, but Bob has convi...I like low key birthday parties, but Bob has convinced me to step it up a notch now that Henry is old enough to remember these parties. This year we had a pool party at the rec center where we are members. We invited everyone to swim from 10 am to 11:30, then we provided pizza, cupcakes, salad, and drinks in a community room.

My parents started popping the pepcid about two weeks in advance. They also refinished the basement after the first time we had one! <br /><br />Those are some of my favourite memories though.Monkey McWearingChapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159146850159129520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-70773114142782151332010-06-29T12:04:54.920-05:002010-06-29T12:04:54.920-05:00I'm definitely a fan of the low-key birthday p...I'm definitely a fan of the low-key birthday party. We just had Zach's party last Saturday. Since he has a summer birthday, we go to a park that has a playground, have cake and ice cream, open gifts, and let the kids play. I do give out a small goodie bag, but don't spend a lot on it. I also don't bother with the fees to reserve a shelter. In the past we've lucked out, butDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990643174190148602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-73689617262790137012010-06-29T10:28:06.463-05:002010-06-29T10:28:06.463-05:00gosh if you are a scrooge about birthdays then I a...gosh if you are a scrooge about birthdays then I am whatever is worse!! I so far only do family birthday parties (my kids are 5 and 2)....partly because my husbands side of the family is largish (he is one of 5 kids).... and we have to celebrate each b-day here in KC and then again in Iowa with the hubs family... so I feel like they are already getting TWO opportunities to party... so why fuss Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097880461727575640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-44613859845145315092010-06-29T10:27:42.508-05:002010-06-29T10:27:42.508-05:00Not a Grinch at all!

If the kids love it, keep it going :) I on the other hand am one of those mothers you would HATE :) I spend months planning, crafting and searching for our birthday parties - actually, for any party I throw! I don't spend a lot of money, that's really why it takes me so long to put them together :) I scour the clearance aisles and dream up my creations.
