Another Expensive Week
Another Expensive Week
First to occur is Emily’s Birthday which this year she’s sharing with our friends youngest Matthew at a local church hall. The entertainer does a great job of getting everyone up on the dancefloor at the appropriate time to keep the kids moving and enthralled. Once they’ve all run themselves ragged it’s time for food and cake then more games and loading the car up with more and more presents!
My 39th passes with as little fanfare as I’m used to but breakfast in bed and a good book are all the reward I tend to covet these days anyway, so I’m pretty happy.
Adam’s Birthday is a bit more of a challenge. He’s at a difficult age to gauge what he’ll find fun or too childish. Luckily, wedging a bouncy castle into the back garden goes down a treat when a selection of his friends descend for a birthday tea. Bumps and scrapes which just last year would probably have had half of them crying off are all brushed off and reciprocated with a front-flip or a pile-on. All said, they leave having worked off some energy and filled their faces with enough sweets and cakes to keep them up for the rest of the week!
Job Done!
