I feel like I’m on holiday for the first time today as I have no more pending parties to worry about. How silly is that? And I’m meant to be working today as the kids were carted off to Holiday Camp this morning.
I spent the entire holiday in a mode of suspended worry about Christmas, then my party on the 1st and lastly my FIL’s 80th this past Saturday.
But it’s all done now and I feel ready to start planning Mignon and Isabels’ party in March and then Daniel’s in May. (don’t think I can’t hear you think what sucker I am, deep down I enjoy it!)
Anyhoo, here some pics of the table Saturday. We had the party at Bloemhof and it was perfect for my FIL. He wanted real ‘boerekos’ and the food and service was outstanding.
I did the flowers all by myself! Check out the little 80’s on the table, the handwritten name cards (me) and the printed serviettes (in Afrikaans nogals, courtesy of Bunches for Africa, thanks Deblet!!).
But my favourite part of the weekend? My friend Sue’s 40th at Warwick Wine Estate yesterday. Good company, great food, lovely venue, perfect weather and absolutely perfect for children. Well worth a visit! Here are the girls on the jungle gym, Daniel was playing in the water most of the day.
Two more parties, Zoe’s party at school and her party at home and by the 16th I’ll be done. I understand how you feel apprehensive about it but deep down you do want to do it.
Love it ! You should maybe think about taking up a career as party planner ! I have Chjristpher’s birthday coming up on the 25th….what to do ??
We must be mad!
Mmmm. I think we should plan it over a glass of wine or 2..
A fellow runner called me a over achiever mother. Maybe it is true…
Agreed , you could do this professionally.
I also hear it often, but I just put my hands to my ears and go ‘nanananananana’ š
Mwah!
