Hudson has been planning his 4th Birthday for months now. Here’s what he has come up with… “A trip to the Gas Station”. Yup, that’s all folks. That is what he wants to do for his birthday. He wants to take his money and go buy some candy and a drink at the gas station. He has been so excited and will not stop talking about the birthday party he will be having at the gas station.
So, being the awesome parents we are, and finding ourselves looking to save some money a couple weeks after Christmas, we were on board with Hudson’s plans. On Hudson’s birthday we would take the kids and a cake to the gas station out on Leslie Rd. (because it has tables and chairs to sit at). Hudson would spend his money on a couple of candies and a drink, we would sing happy birthday, eat cake and voila… A 4 year old's dream come true.
A couple of days ago Hudson excitedly told the big kids in the family where we were going for his birthday. They evidently weren’t as keen on that idea as Hudson was because after hearing about it, they spent hours talking to him and finally convinced him that the gas station was totally a bad idea and he should pick Chuck E Cheese.
Darn it! They were persuasive enough to change his mind. But rather than totally bagging the gas station idea……we compromised and did a quick stop at the gas station on our way to Chuck E Cheeses. It turned out fun. For both him, and the other kids.
