Day 16: work hard, play hard
Saturday, January 16 2010 - 10:35PM
Greta and Pat went to one of those bounce house places today for a four-year-old's birthday party. I had to skip out because I had to go into work for a few hours today. Pat was suspicious of my motives since my first and only experience going there ended in some self-diagnosed "psychological damage," and the other time or two they went I conveniently had to work. Pat's suspicion might be true, but I'll never tell.
When we reconvened, they showed me this great photo collage. I thought Greta was the biggest ham in the family, but look at this guy.

#1 Too cute
Reminds me of my daughter and myself. Love it.
#2 bounce it out
Megan - Too funny. Isn't it crazy there?? In my previous post I blamed the kids, but I think the parents are at least as bad. I just kept seeing rogue kids running around who seemingly had no parents. Like, seriously, kids who are too big are running around knocking into people, and toddlers are bumbling around getting into places they probably shouldn't be. And either there are no parents to be seen or the parents are there smiling like it's totally okay their kid just stepped all over another kid. It's just pandemonium. Pat made a good point to me, which is that it's basically Greta's favorite place, so it shouldn't really matter how much I hate it there and that I should just suck it up. I agree, but there has got to be someting better out there. Actually, one of my coworkers said that the bouncy place in Winton Place plaza called Jump Club (the first rule of Jump Club is you don't talk about Jump Club) is smaller and not nearly as crazy, as long as you go super early on a Saturday. I have yet to try it out, though...someday when I'm feeling brave.
#3 I thought I saw them at the
I thought I saw them at the Bounce place yesterday. I thought to myself, why in the world does that little girl look familiar. Then Pat called he name. How weird!
And I agree with the psychological damage piece. It was insane there. I had heard it was a great place with a separate area for under 3's. Yeah right! I won't be back anytime soon! I would rather rent a bounce thing on my own and have Izzy and some neighborhood kids over in our backyard.(and yes...Greta could come if she wants)
