    Special brekky (I did pancakes with strawberries, cream and mint) and balloons everywhere (just cheap and cheerful ones - the $2 bag style) and maybe a special afternoon babychino with you, or a special picnic in the park (with gumboots and muddy puddles if it's not super weather).

    We took DS1 to his first real movie at the cinema. He loved it. He got popcorn and thought it was the best thing ever. I also bought an ice cream cake to have after dinner.

    Thanks ladies! Some great ideas.
    It needs to be free, or very close to it as his party was super exxy (well for us it was). - At a play centre ZF LOL
    Park for lunch and a play could be good then his choice for dinner and we have LOADS of left over birthday cake.

    I'm not really sure what else we could do. I would bake something with him but we have no oven (or kitchen actually ).
    Maybe some painting, we don't do that very often.
    Make a Cheezel necklace (we have a packet in the cupboard)? lol
    Lots of mummy attention with no distractions? That has been lacking lately.

    I feel like most of it is things I should be doing anyway but just haven't been capable of lately because Ive been sick. I really wanted something Birthday-ish...

    Wonder if I could find some cheap markers that we could use to draw faces/ animals on balloons... Or paint balloons.. that might be an outside activity. haha or paint WITH balloons... or cars... hmm some kind of painting could be good as long as its not wet outside. Get in the bath and paint each other? LOL
