Birthday Party Day

Daniel spent the morning building his lego that he got for his birthday – he constructed a couple of fire trucks and a helicopter by himself.

He did have a little break when he went to pick up his birthday cake from Grandma’s – Daniel had requested a transformer cake and once again Grandma delivered the goods!

In the afternoon we played in the garden and then we had our dinner and Bethany joined us and then it was time to get ready for the birthday sleepover.

The fun started at 6pm when the guests arrived – Bethany from next door and 2 of Daniel’s friends from school. Gifts were received and opened and then it was time for a spot of football in the garden – they played until all the balls were lost over the fences which took quite a while for a change.

After football it was time to settle down to watch The Monster House, a film chosen by Daniel, whilst watching the film the birthday boy and the party attendees feasted on pizza, popcorn and cakes (made by Pauline). Emilie & Joshua also partook in a couple of slices of pizza, after their bath, whilst watching The Incredibles.

Emilie & Joshua then retired to bed and the film viewing continued. When the film had finished the real fun began – playing army in the garden and the house in the dark with BIG replica guns.

Tim Daddy had managed to source a number of replica guns that were used by the birthday boy, party attendees, Mummy and Daddy to play army with. Everyone took it turns to go and hide in the dark and then the others had to find them and shoot them. We all had a great time and the prize for best hiding place definitely goes to Shaun who hid in the playroom and was not found for quite a while despite 3 people having searched the room.

Army finished at 10pm and then it was time for biscuits, milk and bed – they have been in bed now for 30 minutes and they have just gone quiet!

Here’s to some sleep.
