Nate's non-party-party

Nate is turning 11 on the 18th of this month and really wanted a party. I told him this is not his year for a party (we only do a party every other year for our kids since parties can get so expensive). Nate kept trying to scheme up some plan or another to get himself a party. In our neighborhood the kids Nate's age get together quite often at around 7 at night and have what they call night games so Brent and I told him he could invite who ever he wanted to come over and have night games. We would supply some hot chocolate and donuts but that is all we would do and he couldn't ask for presents from his friends since it's not really a birthday party. Well Nate immediately went to the computer and wrote up this invitation: (exactly as he wrote it)

BIRTHDAY

Youre invited to Nates 11 birthday

where? Nates house (our address) we will be in the front yard

When? Dec 19 at 7-10pm

What? we will be doing night games eating homemade donuts drinking hot coco and opening presents

If you have any questions call (our phone number)

I went and typed up an invitation of my own and deleted the presents part. He came home and told me that he and his cousin Emily had made up a list of 25 boys and around 20 girls. I asked if he told all the kids that he wanted to invite yet hoping that I could get this list a little (or a lot) smaller and he said that he did. Okay. So much for no party this year! Maybe we won't be doing homemade donuts. Anybody have a good deal on donuts somewhere? And does anybody want to come help me do some crowd control? 45 ten and eleven year olds. Seriously I feel like my life lately is one crazy thing after another and the worst part is it's all my doing!
