Pumpkin’s birthday party was supposed to be this weekend. But Hubby’s grandma passed away yesterday, so we’re postponing it until next week.

I hated to hear about Hubby’s grandma. But even more, I dreaded telling Pumpkin about it. It would be a double whammy for her, finding out that her great-grandmother was gone and the birthday party she was so looking forward to would not be happening when she thought it would. But she took it all surprisingly well.

The funeral is going to be on her birthday. That’s going to be rough on her too. I’m thinking about taking her out to eat at one of her favorite restaurants when its over. Maybe that will make up for it in some small way.

It was just coming together for us to be able to afford what we wanted to get her and to have her a nice party. But I guess it wasn’t meant to be this weekend. I’m going to make absolutely certain that her party next weekend is a blast, though.
