Eva's party was a blast

[conuly]

She went to laser tag with 7 friends - damn, that's a long trip by bus! - and they loved it. One friend, who is diabetic, went in with a fairly high sugar count. Her mom showed me the tracker app on the phone a few minutes later - in at a high count, and it just plunged with all the running around.

The pizza and cake were both adequate, if not delicious - whatever, the kids were too hyped to care. The candles I got that advertised multi-colored flames really worked. OMG. They were just too cool. Everybody had fun, nobody got injured, and isn't that what you want in a party?

And then on the bus ride home Ana and Eva absolutely slammed the opposition in a friendly, respectful dialog* on the subject of abortion. So, yeah.

* It really was friendly and respectful, if a bit loud.

yes. that & no one called the police.

[conuly]

And everybody peed before we left. That's important!

I definitely need to buy these multicoloured flame candles!

[conuly]

YES YOU DO.

[redbird]

So do I. What are they called, and who sells them? Random party store, or some kind of online thing?

[conuly]

Got 'em at the grocery store.

The color of the wax on the candles is pretty meh, but the flames can't be beat.

Thanks. I will look around the grocery in the next few days (Cattitude has a birthday coming up).

Have you seen the Lotus Candles? They open into a whirling flower with candles on each petal. Unfortunately, they also make noise, but the burning, whirling flower is kinda neat.

[conuly]

No, I haven't!
