Birthday Party

On Thursday I had my birthday party – for the kids! About 20 of my close friends came to my house. The first guests arrived at 2 and the last guests left at 7. Mom spent DAYS preparing for this. We rushed around to a million and one shops, buying all sorts of things. Then mom stayed up until after midnight two nights in a row – BAKING (Yes, she has not done this in 10 years). She made chocolate muffins, fairy cakes (with toxic red and blue icing sugar – note to self, get icing sugar recipe), baby banana muffins for the kids, cheesecake (delicious). Dad set up a big jumping castle, moved the furniture around, set up the sandpit and ballpond. On the day there was LOTS to do, and mom rushed around the house chaotically, while I sat and licked the baking utensils.  We had a great party. I think for me the favourite part was my two delicious ice-creams in a cone, and all my friends – of course
The house was a mess afterwards and my dress went from white to brown – the signs of a great party! (Oh ya, for going home presents, we gave a little carton of Pringles – that mom wrote saying that it could be a rattle, container, learning object and we gave a CD of my favourite songs).
I’m already looking forward to my two year old party.
