Children's Birthday Parties are Expensive

My son turns four this weekend. I'm preparing for his Mickey Mouse themed party at his preschool. Oh my how quickly the bill adds up!

Large plates for the pizza come in packs of 8 for about $2 each pack. There are 35 kids in total, so that's about $10 for plates that will get thrown away right after they're done eating their slice of pizza (costing about $45 to buy the pizza itself).

Small plates for the cake also come in the same amount and for about the same price. Throw in the caprisun juices, the spoons, pinata, candy, decorations, balloons, and the CAKE, so far I've spent a good $140. And this is just a small cake cutting at the school.

But at the end of the day, he only turns 4 once and if Mickey is who he really likes, then I'll do my best to please him. So Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse here we come...
