Birthday Parties...

Had dd's birthday party today. Went very well. 5 families (10 children, not incl ours) - the young women painted clay flower pots and then planted a polyanthus in them to take home. As they were painting, the room was SOOOOOO quiet as all these budding artists unleashed their creative forces on these clay pots. It was remarkable - the intense concentration!! :)

dd helped make mini-cupcakes yesterday: chocolate & lemon & also a heart-shaped (vanilla) cake. This morning we iced them all. (Lemon was very popular!) We made a veggie tray, a few sandwiches, a big bowl of popcorn and a plate of cheese and crackers (a vegetarian party, but not vegan or raw, LOL). DS put up streamers and there were lots of balloons around. I managed to clean most of the house. :) Everyone seemed to have a great time and although overcast, the rain held off and the children played outside for a while as well.

One of the children arrived from another birthday party in town where they had a "paint throwing party" at a kids' art school. Looked like it must've been a whole lotta fun - judging by the amount of paint on him!!

BIG Thank-yous to the families who helped celebrate dd's birthday today. :)
