It Really Does Take A Village

Our kids' birthdays are in July, August and September respectively.

We held Petunia's party today.  Unfortunately, since many other parents had the same idea, it was only one of THREE birthday parties on the calendar today: a friend of Petunia's at 11, a friend of Thing Two's at 1, and Petunia's at 2:30.  Thing Two had to ride with a friend to get to his party and even with that, the logistics were crazy.  Once again, so grateful to be part of a community where I feel comfortable asking for help...having one more kid than we do drivers and cars occasionally makes things a real challenge!
