So, primary school is 'double super', No 2 is 'the sweetest thing' and No 1 has had half an hour's homework every night since starting school. Life is very busy.
No 1 turned 5 at the end of August. My lovely gastro bug (thanks for the 9lbs lost!) meant that a party on her actual birthday was out so it fell to the next weekend. I finished work at 3, her party started at 4... I hadn't organised party game prizes or music...my journey is 45 minutes from work... I had to pick up a 'new' car before half 5...party finished at 6. How to juggle?!
Sweating profusely, I zoomed through Asda, grabbing paper, stickytape and prizes... rocketed on towards the party, got there to find hubsy and No 1 heading into a toilet - her still in school uniform, he carrying a bag. Jeez!! So, soft play party, sweaty and undignified...No 2 is clearly the fastest baby in the West, randomly disappearing in bizarre locations as soon as your eye was off her...
Headed off, got new car, got back in time for food and games, parents all arrived to collect kiddies and I got home, slumped in a chair and sighed that deep sigh of relief.
Working and birthday parties. Fun!
