Matilda's birthday, was i think, a bit of a disappointment in the eyes of my bigger kids. She didn't have a party, she didn't get a large helium balloon of her age and she only had a 'few' presents. I can see their disappointment and i guess, understand it to some degree. But like i said to Poppy…she is so young and so little that she doesnt really understand…and so really we would be buying all that stuff for our benefit…..
i think it fell on deaf ears….
Anyway what she did do on her birthday day was…
Have a few presents in the morning when we came downstairs..
went to an indoor play centre in the morning with a little friend and bombed about, dragging me and her baby sister up and down the slides, climbing frame type thingy….which was, of course, built for children the height of….er….children and so i left with an added crick in my back and my neck.
Straight from school to football…Isaac not Matilda. We girls watch, his own personal cheerleaders 😉
Not sure what Maisie was doing with her face….!
After school we had Pizza in the TV room watching Toy Story 2 and then chocolate birthday cake. Which i had imaginatively called 'hidden chocolate button cake'…the kids were intrigued by it, i had actually decorated it with buttons too soon and the icing had fallen off…so i had to re-do the icing covering the buttons which had adhered themselves to the original icing layer …(i did try taking them of so i can assure you it was best to leave them) ….and hence i 'hid' the buttons.
I have a sneaky feeling that cake will be a request again 🙂
Finishing off the day with a bath and hairwash…there is always something sticky in Matilda's hair and then off to bed.
For a second birthday i thought it was pretty good. But Poppy asked me this morning ' is matilda having her proper party day today?"
hmmmmm…….
