WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? Artist   It's funny to read those answers again as I type them, as a lot of them have changed already (since 1st August).  

The following Saturday we had a birthday party and invited all of his friends from his class, KA. Everyone came and they had a ball. It was a Transformers party, as Liam is completely obsessed with everything Transformers and Optimus Prime.

We sent out Autobot invitations -

Made a pinata out of a Huggies nappy box -

This was a family affair, I cut the shape and Liam and Brayden both helped me tape it together - they were the sticky tape cutters and placers. Then Greg spraypainted, I drew the symbol on the front and Greg slipped the zip-tie in the top to hang it. I wasn't sure how it would hold up, but it was ok. Liam had 3 whacks first, then another friend had 3 and the third boy gave it a running thump and the side broke off. All of the kids scrambled for the goodies so I tipped what didn't fall out on to the ground. It was a shame that not all of the kids had a go, but they were happy with the lollies.

We made a banner -





And of course made transformers cupcake toppers and an autobot cake -

Liam had such a great time and got some great presents. Afterwards Brayden looked at Liam's presents and said, "Mum when it's my birthday can I get all of that stuff?".

As usual I enjoyed the planning a little more than the actual event, but it was a lot of fun. I just can't believe my boy is six!!!!!
