I took the kids to a birthday party today for a classmate of my oldest. Each year, the parties thrown by this mom get more over the top and I was wondering how she was going to outdo herself. The family is from Jamaica, and we looooove going to their parties. She has the parties at a lakeside park in their development and she did outdo herself! She raised the bar even higher for next year. In addition to the coolers of water and juiceboxes for the kids, the huge tubs of ice overflowing with bottles of Red Stripe, Moosehead, Killians and wine, the cotton candy machine, 4 cakes, beef patties brought by her family from Jamaica, jerk chicken wings, a ton of food catered from Chik Fil A, the moonwalk, the face painter, the magic show….she had a flippin’ rock climbing wall!! I was too hung over from last night or I would have tried to climb it myself, it looked like so much fun. My daughter tried it 4 or 5 times at least and had a blast.

Thank god my kids know to never expect this level or party from me. A couple of pizzas, games, the pool…we’re good to go. White trash that we are!
