the invitation

John David came home from school really excited yesterday that there was an envelope in his folder. He waited to ask if he could open it until after dinner, so i said okay. It was an invitation to one of his classmate's birthday party. He was soo excited that it was a spiderman invitation. He was not so excited when I had to break the news that we couldn't go. You try explaining to a five year old that we were invited to another party three weeks ago, and that we already RSVP'd to that one. Both parties are at 2pm on saturday, and the one we are going to is up north and the other is south. I even told him that the one we are going to is a costume party, so he gets to wear his halloween costume. I even tried reminding him that he is not particularly fond of Chuck E Cheese, but that didn't work either. Hopefully he will just forget...but who am I kidding...he will probably remember.
