Alpha’s choice of birthday party was laser tag at MVP<\/a>.\u00a0 (Last year we celebrated her birthday with mini-golf at the same place.)\u00a0 So with a small group of her friends and a couple of adults, we tromped in and had a great time!<\/p>\n

\n

I rocked the scores.\u00a0 Admittedly, there were more kids than adults (myself, Sam, and another adult not attached to our party) and a bunch of kids (again, not all attached to our party) but I really did wipe the other team out twice – two for two. Sam was a not-too-close second.)<\/p>\n

I think we need to assemble some more adults and have another laser tag party there some time.\u00a0 It’s like paintball without the bruises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Afterwards: pizza and cake and video games, of course. Gifts were exchanged, some of which Alpha was really excited to see.<\/p>\n

Alpha is currently off for a sleepover at Rho’s house.\u00a0 (Like other greek letter-named people in this blog, that is not her real name – though I could imagine someone naming their child Rho so I feel like I should note that occasionally).\u00a0 After all the trouble Alpha had in adjusting to the move, I never thought that we would be exchanging kids with another family so regularly as we have with Alpha and Rho.<\/p>\n

Just an aside: I was chatting with Rho’s mother during the party, and it turns out that Alpha and Rho were rating boys at the last sleepover.\u00a0 <sigh><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
