We had Caleb’s birthday party today. Pretty exhausting, but fun. It was the first party we’ve hosted where the parents’ attendance was optional and unpreferable, so we only had two ladies who are the ‘nannies’ of two of the kids. For the rest, we only had to entertain and cater for 12 children. I made what is going to become the traditional birthday cake – a chocolate cake decorated with Smarties! It’s about the only baking thing I’m good at. The kids had a good time – there seemed to be two factions of kids, the running-around ones, and the other ones, who we kept busy with colouring in and drawing, and then a DVD. Pretty much a free-for-all afternoon, really, although Nick kept a lot of them occupied with ball games, both in the backyard and the schoolroom.
