What If I Blogged?: Ezra Turns One

I'm a really awful party planner. I should never ever be allowed to plan anything! This year when I was planning Grayson's 4th birthday party I forgot all about a cake. The day of his party I was telling Gray all about what we were going to do at his party. "We're going to play games at Chuck E. Cheese's, eat pizza, open presents, eat cake. Crap, I don't have a cake!" The day of, people! The day of! So I had to call around to different grocery stores to see who could have a Cars cake decorated for me in just a few hours.

So for Ezra's party I started planning early. I called our old apartment complex to see if I could have a party in the clubhouse even though we don't live there anymore. Told them the date and the time (August 4th @ 2pm) and got everything on the books... Or so I thought. Then on the day of Ezra's party I called up to the apartments and got a different person on the phone than who I planned the party with. The guy I had been talking to was off all weekend and I was speaking to the assistant manager. She had absolutely no idea about the party that was supposed to happen in just a few hours. Then to top it off she tells me that they don't have parties in the clubhouse during the day because the clubhouse would have to be closed to the residents. She told me she would call me back after she talked to her manager and while I was waiting I had a small panic attack. But luckily they told me that they would work with me and let me have the party. WHEW!

The party ended up being fun and Ezra had a blast!
