Zoe Bug turned nine when we were in Colorado last week. I can't believe my baby is 9! Yeah, yeah, I know, stop whining. I'm working on that. Well, not really, but I should be.
Zoe had her party at our local skating rink this year. Man, what a dive. It looks like it hasn't been maintained since its heyday sometime in the 80s. That was just fine with Zoe Bug though. She's discovered roller skating and now she thinks she is all that on wheels.
It kind of reminds me of when I was in junior high and roller skating was the thing to do on Friday and Saturday nights. I even had some of those shiny, black, skin tight, disco pants. I loved me some disco. Actually, I still do, and it drives Peanut Head crazy. I love the disco and he loves the show tunes. It's a party all the time around here.
Check it out. I used my newly acquired cake decorating skillz to make an appropriate cake for the event.
Chocolate, of course.
These are the treat bags. Somewhere in each of those is an envelope of Pop Rocks. Remember when those came out? Kids still love them. Crazy kids.
When I was stamping these bags, I was so tempted to put SK8R BOI, like Avril Lavigne does, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I was afraid the other moms would thing I'm LitR8.
Get it? Ha, ha, ha! I kill myself.
You must live in Idaho Falls! 20 years ago you could find me at Starlite Skating every week! lol
ReplyDeleteHow fun is that???

ReplyDeletei used to go skating every friday night. i owned my own speed skates. I was fast. ;) i had to be, to chase the cute boys.
ReplyDeletecute! cant believe she turned 9 already!
ReplyDeleteCute cake! Must be the year for skating parties! My youngest had a skating party in May for his 9th b'day and several of the kids in his class had parties there too.
ReplyDeleteLove the invite! How cute :) Your cake skillz are working out for ya! :) I'm thinking I should take that class!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know skating rinks were still in existence til recently and I'm hearing about them all the time now. Hope Zoe had fun!
ReplyDeleteBtw, in your first paragraph you said she was 9 then you said she was 10... but anyway happy birthday, zoe!
Geez, I'm such a bonehead. I fixed it. Thanks for the heads-up, Ter. Is it bad to admit that I forget my kids' names sometimes too? "Hey, you there, stop it!"
ReplyDeleteIt would be understandable if I had six kids, but I only have two. Pathetic.
Cute cake! I totally would have got Sk8r Boi! Love Avril! :)
ReplyDeletehow sad is it that I had to sound out lit-r-8?
