Cake idea - Yes or No and Lolly / Goody Bags

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Yeah looked at the plastic containers but nothing was really big enough.. oops
Oh well we will figure something out, getting DD's balloons from lombards on Tuesday night so might just look in there for something!

can you just grab small gift bag type things from one of the cheapy shops? they'll do the trick - you can get the recycled paper looking ones and put Ava to work painting them like she did for DPs fathers day present - then you can name them so you know who's is what

can you PM me details on the easiest way to get to your place. mum has it stuck in her head you have to go a certain way to get there cos she has taken dad to a doctors down that way - but i'm sure she's making it more difficult than it needs to be!

can't believe it's this weekend. DH will have to stay home and mow the lawns while we go out partying!

Hey BG i will double check the way i go on whereis and let you know.

The little loot bags aren't quite big enough, the books wont fit in them and neither would the boys toys... hmmm i will figure it out... hehehehe

I know i can't believe she is 1 on wed.. OMG where has the time gone?

[briggsy's girl]

time has probably gone the same place for you as it has for me! this time last year i was starting to feel deathly ill with ms! i remember mum ringing to tell me Ava was born and me telling her to rack off cos i was dying! lol

i'm hoping E stays in the good mood she's been in the last couple of days. she's not loving the car so we're going to give her a break as much as we can this week (too much car time lately with stuff happening!) - with luck she'll sleep most of the way to your place and be a super happy camper. she's fascinated by other kids at the moment, so it should be good for her

There will be PLENTY of other kids and people for her to be fascinated with... don't you worry.

I can't wait, am almost over it already though... hehehehe oh well!

[briggsy's girl]

you'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's all over - and then wonder what you can do to occupy yourself now that you don't have that to plan anymore!

Ok so her cake choice is SET and thanks to everyone who thinks it sounds nice.. lets see if it actually works out that way! just gotta buy the chocolate for the wall, am thinking will buy milkybars and just use big chunks!

So the lolly bags are sorted, here are an example of the boys bag, junior bag and girls bag, sounds like the melbourne show...

Girls: Necklace, Bracelet, Bouncy Ball, Stickers, Bubbles, Chalk & Farm Animal

Boys: Car, Bouncy Ball, Stickers, Chalk, Dinosaur Figure & Ben 10 toy
They get 1 less item as the ben 10 toy is quite bigish

Junior: Whistle (mummy can use), book with msg from Ava, stickers, bubbles, car for boys, rattle for miss E, freddo and lollipop (for mummy)

The lollies going into the bigger kids bags are: strawberries and cream, bananas, sherbert bombs, jelly beans, candy fizzers, racing cars, timeout, milkway and lollipop oh and party mix.

So what do you think?

On the thought of the Melbourne show we are also having a jumping castle (free of charge it's DP's cousins), a huge trampoline with balloons on it (already here, DP's cousins and AVA loves it), we are also hoping to get a train ride (DP's cousins friends friend said we can have it free aslong as we pick it up)... you never know people might think it's a fair!

I am kinda excited now, tomorrow my girl is 1 then finally once Saturday has been and gone i can relax a little!

Ok so the cake is decorated, so far so good i think.
It's in the fridge but i don't have anything big enough to cover it, i it stays put all night and tomorrow before dinner.. hmmm might find a BIGGER box and sit it in that on the front seat for the drive to nans.

I can't put pics on here but will upload to FB at some stage over the next day or so (prob thurs when things calm down).

Thanks for everyones suggestions, if you wanna look at the cake feel free to add me to FB.
