LITTLE'UNS BIRTHDAY PARTY

Well, today was the big party day. What a fantastic success it was.
Forty screaming kids running riot, the noise was amazing (at least it wasn't in my house!)

I wish they would bring out one of those ball pondy, slidey, climby places for us grown ups.
Just think of the fun you could have, yet be exercising at the same time!
Jolly Jungle is connected to a gym next door (funnily enough the gym was empty, think I may suggest a ball pond and a slide!).

I actually got offered a job while I was there but couldn't tell if they really meant it or not. It seems they were very impressed with my organization of the party details, guest list of the girls, guest list of the boys, all alphabetical of course and all the party bags in the same order, two Birthday cakes (to ensure all forty got a decent size piece, complete with napkins to wrap them) details of what the children wanted to eat, there was a very good choice, it was a hot menu, chicken nuggets, burger, cheese burger, sausage, hotdog, fish fingers, all with chips (fries in USA)


They played for an hour then had the food, then they danced with someone dressed as a bear (some of the little ones cried at this point, the bear scared them, then again it could have been me trying to dance to the 'Cha cha slide'?), then another half hour going mad in the play area again. At £5.99 a head, even though it was quite a bit of money for a kiddies Birthday party (my own fault for allowing forty!), it was worth every penny! Everyone had a fantastic time and the parents were able to leave them with us while they got on with other things.

There was the odd spat now and then - "she hit me", "no I didn't, you hit me first", kind of thing but all I had to say was I would ring their parents to come get them if they wanted, and suddenly all was forgotten, they were best friends again, and off they ran back to play.

Little'un spent two or three hours back home opening and playing with her presents (she got loads as you can imagine from forty guests!).


Then after giving me loads of hugs and kisses, thanking me for a lovely party and telling me I am the best Mum ever, she totally zonked out on the sofa.

THAT alone made it worth the money - Ahhhhhh peace!
