The Birthday Party
What a weekend it was… organizing a birthday party for kids is surely draining and a real test in parenting. Of course we all had fun. Luckily my eldest’s birthday fell on a Sunday. Getting the birthday gifts, new dresses, a custom made cake and running around like an insane person on steroids was what my experience was during the weekend. Of course, I had to also double up as the cameraman to cover the entire party while still remeinding the kids to not scream too loud.
At least the neighbors didn’t complain. But I’m guessing they’ve got used to the noise or they might have sound proofed their walls by now. I did hear some drills at work a few weeks ago - I don’t blame them at all. But nevertheless, the party was fun with lots of giggling and running and screaming. I must say that it is definitely for a good reason that birthdays come only once a year!
I got a nice little artist’s board for my daughter which she thoroughly enjoyed. The house was filled with gifts and toys from relatives and friends. Its unbelievable how much energy the little one has especially when she’s having fun. And she didn’t even have her afternoon nap. Of course before the party ended, she was all cranky and I didn’t have too much trouble putting her to bed. She was knocked out! And so was I!
