Tomorrow we're having a big family birthday party here at my house.
We'll be celebrating 3 grandkids birthdays ( two just turned 11 & one 12) plus my son who all had birthdays in July. Unfortunately we weren't able to get together during July so this was the first date everyone was free.
My son in law and grandson (his birthday is one we're celebrating) are going to the store today to buy all the stuff we need for the party. Am I crazy to let a grown man and an 11 yr old do the shopping? I probably am but my daughter has faith that they'll be able to accomplish this task.
I already made the list and I'll be curious to see if they follow it and how much extra stuff they add to the cart 
Guess only time will tell if this is a good idea or not...

I'm sure they will have fun and even they don't at least I don't have to do it (trying to put a positive spin on this idea)

It will be lots of fun for the whole family to be together. It does get loud with 10 grandchildren running around

It's the 11 yr old who'll be adding things, men usually just get whats on the list and get out as quick as they can.

Hopefully two "men" make a woman. 
I think they may call you several times to be sure they're buying the right stuff. I often do so when I go shopping with my father and my mother stays home. 
As long as they pay by themselves, extra stuff is fine.

This could be really funny! No matter what, enjoy the day because I know they will!
