This week has been crazy busy. Organising home made birthday parties is always a time management operation as much as anything else. Today daddy went to work and had arranged to come home by 3pm for Bean's birthday celebrations. This left me and the smalls to cleaning the house, getting the last few games ready and putting the food out onto the table. The boys hoovered and dusted for me whilst I dusted the higher up areas and cleaned the bathroom. it was a complete surprise to have their help and of course it made the process a little longer than if i'd done it solo but we enjoyed ourselves and put on some music to help us on our way.
The theme of Lego Star Wars was quite a challenge for us but i think we did okay. We had
design your own minifigure
pin the Darth Vader mask on the minifigure
sweetie hunt
Guess how much lego is in the jar
Lego pinata
Lego cupcakes
Star Wars cake
Star Wars food selection: Leia rolls, yoda soda, han burgers, chewie's chips, Vader's veggies, c3po salad, r2d2 h2o, droid dip.
It was a small affair, at Bean's request, he had two friends to play plus grandma and pops, and FA1 and cousin B. Friends started arriving about 3pm and everyone had left by 8pm. We spent some time playing with Bean's remote control car and putting together one of his Lego presents before tiredness finally took over and all were sleeping by 9pm.
It is also worth noting today that Pumpkin put a clothes peg on his eyelid which turned out to be rather painful for him but mummy had trouble stopping herself from laughing...only Pumpkin would feel the need to try out that question just to check the result!
