Taylor's Sweet 16

So Taylor....She is going to be 16 soon. So to ensure I am ready for this big event I have done a ticker!



So as you can see.... 2 months 1 week 4 days until the big day! Now if you are reading this 2 days from now note the above will have changed...LOL

So we have begun to plan our big day. Taylor had many ideas of what she would like to do for the big day, but not all were that cost effective. I mean come on, she does want presents right??? So we have agreed on Amazing Jakes. Which is a cool fun place with an all you can eat buffet, laser tag, arcade games, and all that other fun stuff that kids just LOVE!!!! But this too is not cheep at all. We are talking $15.99 a kid!!! I mean come on people do people not realize that in ..........


I mean I will be unemployed!!! But I figured since the last three years I have gotten away with not very big parties that we could do this. So 14 kids later, 15 with her, plus 4 other adults and 1 Mr. Jackson we are talking 20 people. $319.80 PLUS Tax later! But you know a girl only turns 16 once so I have agreed. But I mean come on!!! $320!!!!! Now I have asked her mother to help. But I am not going to count on that until the monies are in hand. I am sure she will help out, so don't get me wrong, but I mean $320!!!!

So to be more frugal, I have asked Taylor to make her own invites. So I am saving at least $20 there. That has to be worth something! LOL

But in the end we have one happy girl and hopefully we will have a fun party. I will have to post pictures of Taylor's creative invites. She is a good card maker and really has a talent for doing that. I will try and add that to my list of tasks!!

So stay tuned for more Birthday updates!!
