The Party

We used to have one big party to celebrate the kids' birthdays since they're so close together (March 9, March 19, and April 1). A couple of years ago, though, the boy and girls decided they wanted separate parties. Due to my obnoxious schedule I didn't have time for numerous parties. I begged the kids to let me do just one and they gave in.

We have a children's museum in town that's located inside the old Orpheum Theater. The architecture inside is beautiful. There are exhibits set up all around that capture the kids interest and are designed for learning too. I was thrilled when I found out that you can have a party there, so that's what we did. The kids all played with their friends and later we went to a separate room for cake and ice cream. That was the easiest birthday party I've ever done!
