Well, MissThelma and I came up trumps and easliy won the 'best Aunties ever' award last weekend when we organised and ran our niece's 4th birthday party. We decided to theme the party and since Amelia is in full on Princess and fairy mode we had a pink and liliac fairy princess party complete with homemade wands with pictures of the birthday girl on them. We had all the tradional party games although the concept of musical bumps seemed to be a bit beyond them, I had to join in to get them to play properly, something that MissT is still giggling over. Still, we played all the games we 'd planned and all the kids home happy. I realised very early on that the way to get a bunch of 4 year olds to do what you want them to do is to bribe them; chocolate was their drug and I was their dealer! Did I care that they were going to be hyperactive monsters by the time the party finished? Not a jot ... after all they weren't my kids and they weren't coming home with me!
