Video games are the forbidden fruit in our house, the toy that Joey wishes he had at his fingertips. Unluckily for him, he has two parents who would much prefer he be shooting hoops outside, building Lego creations, or playing outside with neighbor kids. But when he gets the chance to play video games at friends' houses, or at the Arnold cabin, he's in heaven!
So we couldn't resist ringing in his 8th birthday with a video game binge -- a huge trailer truck pulled into our driveway two weeks ago loaded with all the latest and greatest (G-rated) video games, and Joey and 27 of his closest buddies were in video game heaven.
Luckily, we have a big driveway, and these kids were way too enamored with the massive game truck to even think about entering the house. I think one kid used the bathroom during the entire party.
They gobbled up pizza (scarily calling to mind feeding lions at the zoo), and noshed on cupcakes and a special video game controller cake handmade by Mommy (which Joey gallantly watched me decorate and then announced, "Well, only a professional baker would really make it look perfect.").
Little sisters and cousins even got in on the action.
