Five little girls and one granny ( Thank God for Granny's!) came for a birthday tea party tonight. Grandma should have been there but unfortunately weather in the north east US meant a serious delay of planes heading north and the g'parents missed the connecting flight, necessitating an overnight stay in Newark. We have just spoken to the Grandaddy. He says his fun meter is pegged out and I can fully understand that but he better get that meter all charged up because the two grandkids are 100% charged. Our little girl has "borrowed" one of our clocks to put by her bed to make sure she is up at the "crack o' dawn" to be ready to go to the airport.
The party was a lot of fun for the small people. Everything was recyclable apart from the balloons. What to do about balloons? She loves them but they sure aren't bio-degradable! They played games, iced cakes, planted sunflowers and ate lots of good stuff before heading home at just the right moment.
We also had Rupert and Zoom at the party. Rupert, the bear, has been a member of Katie's class for about six months. He goes home every night and gets up to lots of stuff that gets written about in his diary. Zoom, the alien, crash landed just about two weeks ago right in the middle of their classroom. They have been busy designing spaceships to get him home. (So much fun for parents!) and he has been travelling around with different kids learning about Earth.
All I can say is that Zoom and Rupert are in for a fun weekend!! Mike is stuffing the pinata for tomorrow when we have the family party for both kids, round two. A cannon and a pinata were the littler boys requests.
