Halloween and Birthday party

Erin insisted on me leaving her to put herself to sleep...! Hmmm... I'm giving it a go but I can hear her chittering away to herself...that's OK but if I hear bouncing in the bed she's had her go... :)

Tara's Halloween party on Saturday was lovely! We all had a great time. :) Nice to socialize for a change, and in English is such a bonus! :D

Erin was dressed up as a faerie and Anton was supposed to be a leopard but changed his mind just before getting ready to go. He wanted to be an "princess" too!! :O I had only loaned two outfits from my big sister and since A had a tantrum about wanting to be a princess, E quickly realised that she'd "gotten" the better deal (clever girl! ;)) and no-way that she was going to swap and go as a leopard instead...! *sigh!* :) So...what to do...? What other cool things could he want to go as, that I could "make" in no time...?? *panic!*

How about an...alien?? (he has no idea what one of those are!) Yeaaah! :D Since no one knows what they look like, Stephen and I grabbed whatever "weird" stuff we could find, put them on Anton and I painted his eye brows blue and TADAA we had us an alien! *lol!*

Saturday's party, which I'd dreaded, turned out better than I could have ever imagined! :D We were well prepped and organised beforehand. Family arrived about an hour before the little friends and we had time to catch up a little bit before the boys dropped in and played and ate and played and had some cake and played a little bit more before it was time to go again. No problems at all...just a few little tears which were all made better with a little blow and hug from his friend. *sweet!*

He got some really great pressies too. Duplo, Lego, games, clothes (Spiderman!) and the best one was without a doubt a Spiderman costume! :D No last minute changes today when they had a dress up party at nursery... ;)

Will update with photos soon!

p.s. She did manage to put herself to sleep! :D
