We were 5 minutes late for school today because of my son’s delaying tactics again; he said he wanted to watch TV first before going to school. His Dad and I didn’t give in to his whims this time because I still had to meet Karen, the one who made Justin’s Thomas the Tank Engine cake. Karen was referred to me by the mother of my son’s classmate in school. The rest of the food (spaghetti, garlic stix, pineapple juice for the kids, and coke for the adults) came from Greenwich.

The party would have been complete if the Thomas the Tank Engine loot bags were distributed to the kids during class dismissal. Oh well, that simply means there'll be a continuation of his birthday party tomorrow.

P.S. If you need great-looking cakes for your kids’ birthday parties, please let me know and I’ll give you Karen’s number.

Yes, everything is set for Justin’s 4th birthday celebration in school tomorrow. He had been requesting since last year to have a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday party, and this year, Mommy is finally able to fulfill his wish!

Everything has Thomas’ face on it from the invitation cards, to the loot bags, to what’s inside the loot bags, and to my son’s birthday cake!

If you’re wondering where the birthday cake is, I’ll only get to see it tomorrow because it will be delivered to my son’s school. I will be absent from work tomorrow to see my son enjoy his special day with his classmates and teachers and to take a few pictures. Ever the stage mom, huh?
