Birthday Party

Its Little Prince's 5th birthday during the next week, and it was his party today. He was slightly excited, he woke up at 5.30am!!! Then asked roughly every 10 mins if it was time for his party yet?? I'm very practiced at tuning out quite a bit of the never ending chatter kids do, but even I was going slightly loopy by the time it WAS party time!! Me and Little Miss Sensible took Little Prince to the supermarket to chose his cake (Spiderman) and then went round to the indoor play centre for the party. Little Prince was worrying the whole time that his friends would get there before him, but luckily (or probably because we were 15 mins early!!) only one friend was there first!!! He had a whale of a time running round the playarea for an hour with his friends and cousins, before going to a separate room for the party nosh. There were about 12 kids altogether and I thought it would be bedlam in the room with them, but they were all very well behaved (saying thank you when given their food, eating nicely and quietly chatting) amazing really!! When it was time for the singing of Happy Birthday and blowing candles out, Little Prince got so excited that he blew the candles out when we'd barely started singing!! After the food the hostess asked if they children wanted to play a game or two, but they just wanted to get back to the playarea and all charged off!! I didn't even have to clear up - fabulous :-)
