We will be on vacation this week. Where will we be going - London, the Pacific Northwest, Chicago (again)? None of the above. One day will be used to visit my mother-in-law in Topeka. At least one day will be devoted to erecting the new shed in the backyard. I had thought we could go to Worlds of Fun one evening when the price is lower. Then I found out that "lower" price is $25 per person plus $10 to park. I can't imagine that only a few hours of riding rides is worth that price.
I have at least two handicaps when it comes to special events, such as vacations and birthday or other celebrations. One, I am planning-challenged. I have some good ideas, but I don't do well in implementing them. Two, I am basically a cheapskate. When we go out to eat, I will choose something in the lower price range. When going to a movie, I like to go to the first showing, which is $5 (and forget about anything from the snack bar).
My son's birthday is coming soon. I would really like to make it a great one for him, but don't know what to do. I've asked him what he would like to do and he hasn't come up with anything yet. It takes him quite a while to make some decisions. I am open to ideas and anyone who would like to take on the job of party planner.

I have to be cheap, because everything is ridiculously expensive! As far as the bday parties go, I tell my kids they can invite just a couple of friends over for the night. Then, we do pizza and get them a movie. Mostly, they just play and they're perfectly happy doing that!
