Sam never asks for anything big for his birthday... and this year was no exception. When I asked him what he would like he suggested we get him some 'different crisps to go in his lunchbox' .. so of course we obliged!
We did buy a 'family' present of a Wii and a Wii Fit Board... and we have all started having fun with that ... especially when my Mum and Dad came round ... Mum was ultra proud of her Wii Fit age being about 7 years younger then herself .. especially when Dad's was about 7 years the other way!
Making Sam a birthday cake this year was rather a crisis. He wanted a Red ladybird, but we couldn't find any red icing or red icing paste anywhere locally... so in the end we gave up and decided to do a treasure map... but we couldn't find any gold glitter icing anywhere locally... so in the end we gave up and I went to Tescos and bought some small packet of coloured icing.. and came up with the idea of doing...
..... mini bug fairy cakes
The bugs were modelled carefully by Paul and I, and when my brother Dan and Paulina came round they helped too... Thanks!
The Saturday after Sam's birthday was his party for his friends... and although we sent out 15 invitations only 6 children came... and all the activities I planned went out of the window because the weather was fine enough for them to play outside.
