The Final Tally

Well, we survived the first boy/girl party. Sort of. That is, it was sort of a boy/girl party. Actually since the kids are all homeschooled they were polite, followed rules, and had fun, but nobody was sneaking off to play spin-the-bottle or search the interiors of closets. Well one boy wanted to pet our cat, but he went alone.

We had chocolate cake, pizza, ice cream, and strawberry punch. We have white carpets. Number of kids who spilled anything? Zero. I, on the other hand, spilled a quart of red punch, dropped a slice of pizza, and had cake fall on a formal dining room chair. Twice. Number of times I cursed myself (Silently! Honest!)for scheduling a party during PMS---too many to count.

But they played outside on the play-set until the thunderstorm started and then they all had a hoot playing Mario and Wii Dance. It was even fun to watch.

I guess that's why I don't worry about socialization for my home schooled kids. They have awesome role models. In fact my only concern is that somebody is going to wise up and kick us out!

Thank heavens for Amway Legacy of Clean stain remover--all traces of pizza, red punch, and chocolate cake successfully removed. See Honey---I TOLD you I needed that steam cleaner!!!
