The Things We're Planning

Ohhhhhh Boy! It's going to be a BIG weekend for the kiddos. (And the adults are uber-excited as well.) First - It's a bright, beautiful day! The temperature is 25 (let's say upper 70's for you North American folk). The races are on across the road and it feels like winter is supposed to feel in Queensland.

The kids are due in just a few mintues. We'll be having some new ktichen adventures for lunch. (And if that doesn't work - well, we always have a snag (aka sausage) or two lying around.) PLUS - Tara discovered a new park close to home that we will try out this arvo (afternoon for the American readers).

But, the really big deal is that on Sunday we're taking the munchkins to Movie World! We've been tossing around the idea of Sea World with the kids for ages and we came across a pretty decent discounted deal for Movie World instead. We checked out the differences between the two parks and Movie World has about a third of their park dedicated to smaller kids (ahem, Hunter.) Going to Movie World means he won't miss out on rides because he's too short.

We're not going to tell the kids. And Dean just can't wait to surprise them. We've planned ahead and got all the necessitites for a picnic lunch - which, coincidently, seems to be the best way to get them to eat a full meal.

So, watch this space for happy snaps!

But that's not ALL we've got up our sleeve. Miss Poppi Claire turns 5 in September! We were hoping to help LeeAnn throw a party with her school friends, but, unfortunately, that's not going to happen. And Poppi is going inter-state on her actual birthday.

But have no fear fans of little people parties! We're going ahead. Grandma from Kingston will be here with us just before the big day. So, we're going to combine the two events into one really fantastic party for a special 5 year old on September 8. We've already invited friends, other little people and family and we're just trying to decide what kind of party to make it. We're fairly certain pink, princesses and fairies will go over really well.

So, if you have ideas, suggestions or tips on how to throw a fantabulous little people party, please feel free to pass them along to us.

I can't wait to hear about how your surprise went over... As far as little people parties - I have a friend who is VERY talented at planning parties. You can see her blog at www.rialityfreak.blogspot.com and should be able to contact her from there... Tell her I sent you. She's fabulous!
