Party part 1

We had a wonderful birthday party for Bax and Miss O. And it was very messy! THat was the idea of course but when told they may kids can REALLY make a MESS - who knew?! Auntie H and I took two days organising and getting stuff together and baking and then at 3pm on Saturday 25 kids descended and the fun began. There was mountains of playdo and gloop and paint and lots of space to create havoc. We had a huge lucky dip of green jelly with lots of plastic toys submerged. And the food was little plastic lunch boxes with a small ham and chicken pie - made by me - and a box of raisins and some cheese and juice. Pudding was tiny little jellies which Granny Di made and then a whole table full of condiments like choc hail, 100s and 1000s, coconut, choc sauce, passionfruit sauce and canned cream. And then the cake which H made - a giant choc 2 with bright 2s all over.
a few moments stand out - Bax with his face covered in face paint, his hand covered in 100s and 1000s and cream on his head. Miss O carefuly pouring choc sauce onto jelly. Bax going for all the parcels before the guests had even got in the door. Bax sitting on the grass eating fairy bread and cheerios with four eight year old girls sitting in a circle around him - he is quite the ladies man. And our lovely little mate Ethan who has very blond hair and is very beautiful with purple paint all over his hands and face.
Marvellous!
