Proud mom and grandma

My grandson, who is home schooled, just had his fourteenth birthday party and I think it was a ground breaking success.

First of all any fears I had about him not being able to socialize because of home schooling were totally put to rest. He invited ten kids his age and seven came to the murder mystery party that his parents devised.

It was a tremendous amount of work that forced his parents to work together if they wanted it to be a success. The house had to be sorted and cleaned for the first time in a long time, the food had to be made and my son had to write all the parts and make up all the clues then coordinate hiding them to make it real and fun.

There was a dead body, a risen spirit, mobius strips to figure out, chemical reactions, invisible writing, hidden clues and keys that kept all seven children in character and in high spirits throughout the party.

I have done a lot of parties in my day, but this was an extraordinary production and a resounding success.
