In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

159/365 Boy Three’s birthday gala

June 8, 2013 By Ellen

Once again I’m faced with the annual mystery: Why does silly string only ever appear on gala day?

 

But it wasn’t any old gala, it was Boy Three’s birthday gala. His fourth birthday – yes, four. Can you believe it? His actual birthday fell on gala day, thereby solving our party/no party dilemma.

 

The theme for the Boy’s big day has been army. He was chuffed to unwrap a military helicopter kit, an army uniform, an army torch, a camoflage lunch box, water bottle and sandwich box (currently home to a Lego militia) and a Star Wars gun.

 

If it wasn’t such an old-fashionedly sunny day and I wasn’t feeling so indolent, I’d be writing something about small children and weapons, but it is so I won’t. I’ll save that for another day.

    Thanks. He had fun, although he did struggle a bit with the reality that he couldn't have everything he wanted in the world.
