Birthday Party

We threw a birthday party for didi and invited some of his classmates and old school mates. The kids had a great time although we won't recommend our clown of the day to any of our friends...Let's just say...she was not "clowny" enough!

We only decided we would put together a party for didi in the first week of August and none of us (hubby and I) are professional party planners. However, it was a good get together for the kids and the parents and we are glad that we made it happen.

The funny thing was, birthday boy so terrified of the clown that he kept running away from his own party. The clown did body painting for the kids at the beginning and all the kids lined up to have their arms painted with princesses or Thomas the train. Didi kept saying "I don't want anything from the clown." I just could not understand why he was so terrified at the time. He ran for the door whenever he could and I had to chase him and tried to make him stay in the room. He even turned down the floating baloon from the clown! Yes, he was that terrified.

The event took a sharp turn afther the clown started to play games with the kids. Didi got hooked at that point and stopped running away. Thank God!

Would we do another huge party like this one? Don't get me wrong, I love kid parties but I think this is something that we will do every year...May be small playdate/party in the future, that can be loads of fun too!
