party pacts & the estrogen sea

Tonight Lizzie went to her first birthday party without Anna Claire. She was invited to a party at Chuck E. Cheese. We have intentionally NEVER taken our girls to Chuck E. Cheese. I think parents should make a pact to not have birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese. Of course Lizzie now wants to go there with Anna Claire!
While we were at the party Russ took Anna Claire to the park to practice riding her bike without training wheels. After she rode her bike Russ got out the football. He said they threw 2 passes and Anna Claire said, "OK Daddy let's pretend this football is an easter egg. I'll hide it then we can find it." Poor Russ! He just wanted to toss the pigskin but got trapped in the estrogen sea. And since he is the best daddy in the world he went and looked for the hidden easter egg!
