Tom's long awaited 5th Birthday finally arrived! Luckily for us the date was a saturday so the party was same day. He opened all his presents and then we told him to go check for the final one in his bedroom.... Hoping a new bed may help him actually sleep in his own room. Hope.
Decided his cake this year would be a bunch of red and blue spiderman cakes with spider candle. He loved it. Then at 1pm 20 young boys arrived for two hours of fun with Spiderman. He was great - even if he did ring me from the driveway asking for soemeone to go out and help him zip up his costume! We were in the middle of the Pinata being bashed to a pulp so sent Paula out. He had aslso forgotten his facepaints at his last party so poor Paula had to run home and get him some replacements! Other than that though he kept the kids running around the garden and they had a ball. Except for the fact that Tom got upset by reports of a Green Goblin and has not been able to sleep since. So much for the bunk beds - which Mark and I assembled in silence the night before his big day. *sigh*. I heard this expression recently 'sleep terrorist - suits Tom to a Tee.
Anyway Tom got tons of Lego and Ninjago as well as Spiderman presents and has been kept busy ever since playing make believe with Ninja and superheros till the cows come home. Thanks to all for the wonderful presents and cards.
