We had birthday parties on Monday and Tuesday. Some things are nice about two birthdays in as many days - the happy birthday helium balloons stay afloat for both, one trip to the party store, one large gallon of ice cream feeds both parties, etc. However, making and eating two cakes, coming up with princess and Bakugan games, and making sure each child has the perfect day is a little tiring. I have decided the kids can have friend parties on their even birthdays. I thought about staggering them each year, but it just didn't seem fair to have the pomp and circumstance for one and not the other. I hope not to have any more children during the third week of May. 
If you are wondering, I made Kyler a "Bakugan" cake. A Bakugan is a little ball toy that pops into a battle brawler when it is rolled on a magnetic card. It is all the rage for 6 year olds.
