Long before the third one rolled around this year, I was scheming ways to get out of doing it again, and never again. Ha!<br /><br />We ended up leaving town, going to the zoo, and having a small pizza get together. It was so much better!<br /><br />I've decided to give my baby a party for his first birthday this January to be fair, but I'm going to do everything possible to avoid the second, and third, and well... you get it. <br /><br />I'm so glad we feel the same!Casey Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596079290053524103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368354560485761030.post-20182563471377019892009-10-30T17:38:22.500-07:002009-10-30T17:38:22.500-07:00Brilliance!

On a smaller scale, I bribe my kids out of doing the school door-to-door fundraisers by offering them a shopping trip to Target in exchange for the crappy prize they would have won. I spend less than I would have spent on cookie dough/wrapping paper/coupon books and I save all the time of shuttling them and gathering orders, and then schlepping the goods out for delivery. I am a fan of the creative opt-out, even when it involves my checkbook.Kimberly Dertinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368511542359560174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368354560485761030.post-41139523867511774392009-10-28T06:34:07.700-07:002009-10-28T06:34:07.700-07:00This is brilliant & fantastic & I am steal...This is brilliant & fantastic & I am stealing this idea!
