The weatherman was telling me it was going to be an aweful day for the party. It was supposed to rain all day. The weatherman could not have been more wrong. It was a little bit windy but there wasn't a rainy cloud in site (it's been a bit like that since May).
I was running around like a mad woman for most of the morning putting final touches on the cakes, the food and whatever else i'd forgotten to organise the day before. At 9am, i raced over to the park to be on table minding duty. There is only 1 big table at Woodlands Park so i wasn't going to miss out. After 5 minutes i was totally bored out of my mind so started to set up.
By 10am most people had arrived, the food was being gobbled, and most of all, the swings for the kids were getting a major workout. The flying fox is always a huge hit for all the kids but it was so hot, the kids decided to build sandcastles underneath the steps instead.
Hayley and Kirrily have met some lovely new friends at the gym creche, and they all adore Lotti. She is a little 4 year old girl and Aaron is her little 3 yr old brother. Lotti's family have moved here from the UK recently and were over the moon to come to a party and let their kids run free. Lotti has lots of dolls called Hayley and Kirrily now. She's renamed all her dolls actually. This is Lotti at the party with Hayley looking rather pleased with the telephone that she gave her.
After many more sugar filled drinks, a bit more chocolate and of course more sugar (not me of course) I bought out the cakes. For kirrily's party i made a bunch of flowers with muffins and it was so much easier to hand out cakes rather than chopping a cake. For Hayley, i made party clown cupcakes. They have ice-cream cone hats with a party skewer sticking out the top. The top of the cone was also dipped in white chocolate and then rolled in sprinkles And they all had pink faces. I did have to try one of these as i'd worked pretty hard and if i can't enjoy 1 little cake on Hayley's birthday then i would have gone mad. (although this photo makes them look a little creepy).
A fun day, a lot of organising but i loved every minute and i hope Hayley did too. Although in years to come she probably wont remember a single bit of it until i show her these photos.
I did also make these goodies for her birthday. They are Tic Toc Teacups and Teddy Bear Racing Cars. I thought they were rather cute.
