Today was Jamie's first proper birthday party, outside of the home, with non-relations. It was held at a soft play centre called 'The Inferno' (known locally as 'Clown Around'). We knew it was a tough kinda place when we saw this sign in the parking lot:
Oh no, please don't give me a sticker! But... eleven toddlers, two hours. Tough gig. It went fine though, I'm hardly traumatised.
Jamie blew out his candles on his classy cake (you know I had it in me to be subtle):
And was generally pleased with himself.
And Maia looked vaguely menacing, just like any other day:
glad you survived the soft play party - i'm trying to make myself organise Nate's party at our local torture center, sorry of course i mean soft play.
ReplyDeleteWow, I say again, you are a brave woman! I got through Kathryn's 4th party by bribing my brother and his girlfriend with promises of beer in exchange for entertaining small people for me!
ReplyDeleteI hate soft play.. its torture... Matt booked H's party there and I would so rather it be at home again... seeing as 5 kids so far arent coming to it anyway I don't think numbers will be a problem.. M didn't do diddly squat last year.. I cooked, decorated, baked and cleaned... the only thing he did was rescue the kids that had locked themselves in the bedroom (it didn't have a doorknob as we were painting doors at the time... *sign*
ReplyDeleteHi, just found your blog - love it! Looks like Jamie had fun, and atleast you have a year to get your breath back before the next one!
ReplyDeletethe cake is lovely. to say it ended & you weren't traumatized means it was all good :) well done!
