Darn 3 Day Weekend

While my creative juices are flowing and I am getting super excited about Hayden's upcoming party, I just can't decide when to have it.
Here is the problem.
We live on the east coast.
Our families (minus 1 crazy travel schedule sister-in-law) live on the west coast.
My 2 other girls BOTH have birthdays in October.
They are like a 2 for 1 special in the birthday travel department.
Hayden is the middle child and sometimes wants to scream "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!"

Her last birthday was spent in a hotel room...

with a birthday cake from a restaurant

So this year I want to go all out
the problem...
Memorial. Day. Weekend.
It's crazy down here by the sea shore.
fist pumping crazy.
I was planning on having the party next Saturday the 28th,
 but now I realize that many people will be gone and when you are only inviting 5 or so kids - it's a big deal.

I'm counting on the fact that kids have no sense of time so that we can have the party in 2 weeks.
On a non- 3 day weekend.
 I just hope the weather isn't too hot and we aren't invaded by unwanted guest.
In Jersey the unwanted guest bite.
Hard.
While drawing blood.
Dilann screams when she sees a fly.
Any type of fly.
Poor kid is traumatized.
We all are.
