Miss Whizzme had four, yes 4, birthday parties on the weekend. Three of them were on Saturday, so we went from fairies, to disco and then appropriately pyjama's and there hadn't yet been a tear from her. Mr Whizzme and I however, were feeling a little shattered. Then Sunday we attended the much talked about party for a certain girl who will should be cast in the next High School Musical. This was a little more relaxing (for me), and involved a good dose of gossip, party games, party food and air-conditioning. There's nothing like having a sweltering weekend of birthday parties to bring parents to their knees! Miss Whizzme breezed through on a sugar loaded, party induced high. I'm still waiting for the crash....
I also managed to draaaag myself away from Ravelry to get washing done, stuff put away and Miss Whizzme's own party invitations prepared and posted. It is lucky really that she is the only one with a social life in this house otherwise we would need a social coordinator. Hope you all had a good weekend. Off to take some photos....

very lovely invitations! Isobel's birthday is next month and she has already spent weeks designing the invites on the computer!! It's just all toooo much for me. I will just stick my head in the sand until the birthday has gone away!!!
I sometimes wish the parties would all just go away. But enough bah humbug. My daughter has been planning her 10th birthday for months; apparently we are hosting a formal dinner party where the girls actually wear dresses (not often seen on the pre-teen party circuit).
What a busy birthday schedule!
I am party nut!!! They usually involve decorating the whole house and creating costumes for the whole family and spares for the guests who don't have any - That is until the kids got old enough to tell me to stop !
Wow - 4 in one weekend! I think the sugar high is definitely how the children survive!!
Ravelry is an amazing resource! I am dianedundee on there!
You are a much nicer mum than I would have been! I would have told my children to choose 2 parties out of the 4 to go to. It's amazing how much sugar they can ingest and still be OK though...
