Party Boy!

Ooof – Adam isn’t quite 4 yet (not until Wednesday), but we had his party today – a small and select group of friends met at the Funky Funhouse – which was superb – perfect for the five 4/5 year-olds and for the two little sibs (20 & 22 months) – and the grown-ups had fun too (well this one did – I’ve always wanted to go on one of those big bumpy slides (you know the sort of thing I mean) – and they had one there, and I went on it, and I couldn’t stop, and it was BRILLIANT!

And then back here for a party lunch (we forgot to put out the crisps – no-one missed them!) with, of course, birthday cake:

John and I had a lot of fun putting it together last night. And yes, we did run round like mad things trying to make the place look more respectable – and our daughter let us down completely and utterly when we all arrived here after FFH – she walked into the kitchen, took one look at the clean and tidy surfaces and said “Wow”, in tones of wonder similar to the ones she used when looking at the Christmas tree. Ah well.

Oh, and an update on the front room:

Look – that’s a sofa that is, and there’s nothing on it except a throw and some cushions – things which belong on a sofa!!

Anyway, enough – I shall go and knit :-)

Haha, I can so relate to that panic cleaning!!! They both look very pleased with the cake, and it looks nice indeed!

Oooh I’m going to have to borrow a small child and go to that place! It looks like FUN!! Hmm, maybe the nephew would like it?!

Always best to have a good mess before clearing up – you can’t notice the difference otherwise! ;-) Nice looking cake and happy looking kids. Now, that’s what’s important.

Love the cake! Your daughter is too funny. My kids always get me like that too. ;-)
