::Where the Wild Things Are Party - the plan::

Mr Max is turning 4.  I kind of let it sneak up on me.  I kept going back and forth about having  a party.  Who would come all the way out to me in the middle of January?  Does he even care?  Am I just too flipping prego?  Excuses, excuses.  I don't care.  It's about that kid having a wonderfully good time - not about me submitting a very expensive party to all the party blogs.  So I am having a party for that little man - BUT I PROMISE YOU JOSH I WILL NOT GET FULL ON OUT OF CONTROL.  or will I?
