we went to one of addison's classmates' birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese the other weekend. that place is a zoo!... especially on a saturday afternoon. it was packed. my head was spinning from all the noise, lights and kids running around recklessly. i was worn out afterwards and beat up! addison accidentally clocked me in the face with one of those wooden skee balls! those balls are solid! ouch. anyway, addie loves trying to play those games even the ones that are too old for her. she loves watching the machine spit out the tickets so she can pick out a prize at the end. but i got so mad at this one kid at one point. this older kid kept taking tickets from machines that other kids were playing on! what a little weasel! he took two of addison's thinking that we didn't see it, but i saw it alright! i was like, "excuse me, you can't take tickets from other kids. that's not very nice." you know, because addie was working dang hard for those tickets! the boy just looked at me and walked away. hoodlum! where was his mother?!

anyway, i realized when we got there that addison was the only girl at the party! her class consists of mostly boys. i guess she was the only girl (out of like 4 girls) that showed up. it was funny. i don't think she had a clue. she enjoyed herself regardless. hey, as long as there are games, food, prizes and cake... it's a good place to be! :)
