Everyone had made a brilliant effort with their costumes. We had Superman, Mr Incredible (we never did find out which of those two were the strongest), Thomas the Tank Engine, a Samurai, a Lion, a Cowboy, a fairy princess or two, a nurse, a bumble bee plus many many others.
Theo and Charlie's assortment of garish plastic garden toys managed to entertain the masses whilst their playroom provided a suitable 'chillout' area for occasional book reading and 'quiet time'. The kitchen meanwhile, was transformed into a sort of 'chef's table' in miniature form. Here's a picture before everyone's arrival:
Trust me, it didn't look this tidy for very long.
A quick rendition of 'Happy Birthday', a blow out of the candles on the cake and soon the weary party goers were ready to be chauffered with party bag in hand back to their homes for bath and bed.
That's not the end of the story though....
Following everyone's departure, Theo decided that he needed a bit more excitement and whilst running round the lounge, smacked his head straight onto the radiator. In no more than 30 seconds, an egg sized lump protruded at least an inch out of his forehead and we rushed him to A&E to be checked over.
A slight downer to end the day but he was given a thorough check over and sent home with a multi-coloured bruise and a drop of Calpol for the headache before bed. Here's his bonce at bathtime on Sunday:
All in all, a really wonderful day. It looked like everyone enjoyed themselves immensely...
