Push-Up Party


"What is that?" we hear you ask. It is kind of shocking that you don't know. But we will go ahead and explain it anyway.

All the credit goes to cuteness #2. "Can I have a push-up party?" Our response, which might have been similar to yours, was "what's a push-up party?"

A little disappointed that we didn't immediately get it he said, "You know, for doing 100 push-ups."

Later we heard him telling the other kids that he was doing 10 push-ups a day and he only had 30 push-ups left. Uh, back up. If there is going to be a party, those 100 push-ups all need to be done in one day. So, he did. He did 100 push-ups in one day and he had a party. He made up some invitations and he made the agenda (rules and activities) for the party. It was pretty cute. Except, the race to 100 push-ups at the party might not have been everyone's favorite part. I couldn't tell. But this was a big hit.

C'mon, it's pretty clever. What else is there to do do? (Besides the 100 push-up race, of course.) Cuteness Kid #2 was excited that he got to put "Eat push-ups" on his list of activities. He was pretty sure everyone was going to be confused.

All in all it was a big hit. Once we both get to be doing 100 push-ups in one day we are totally going to throw one for us. (One of us might already be doing 100 push-ups every day, and the other might not even be remotely close. Whatever.) But when it happens we are totally having a party and we can all do MORE push-ups and then eat the yummy push-up pops. But, per the rules, "No Birthday Presents, Please!"
