What’s the inflatable pizza for?
It’s with good reason that Adam is stood looking at a giant inflatable pizza slice, with a puzzled look on his face. It’s his 10th birthday after all and although he did say he’d prefer surprises, I’m not sure his thinking was quite so abstract. There is method behind our madness though, you see he was supposed to be opening this gift in Lanzarote! However, like most families with an overseas trip booked, we’re currently at home hurriedly improvising an alternative birthday.
Being possibly the best person you could meet at spontaneous party-planning, Rachel has pre-empted the potential disappointment and instead of a dry cake and sullen looks, Adam has a lot of random presents and a Movie-Themed lockdown-birthday-party.
She’s sourced cinema treats and proper popcorn holders and we’ve laid out the sheltered, theatre-style seating. We’ve even got a small projector set up ready to watch the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie in the back garden. When it’s time for the intermission, she’s even got ice-cream! What a woman!
We didn’t quite get time to decide on a projector screen, so an old curtain with a black-out material lining is hooked onto the wall, but it works a treat and the lads happy, which considering how this year has gone so far, is no mean feat!
