Make, Bake, and Grow

What a hot week we've had. Friday was steamy hot, over 30 degrees, and boy did we feel it. It seemed impossible that the weather reports predicting rain and cold for the weekend could be true.  Up until last night I really didn't believe that Sydney would rain on my outdoor birthday party for Ben. Surely this couldn't be.

This morning we woke up to the sound of the guttering dripping with the nights rainfall. An inside party it would have to be.

This was to be Ben's first ever birthday party and no matter what the weather chose to do, we were going to make it a special day.

So many things! These are some of my favourites.

Grow

Well.. not much happened in the garden today. It was pouring down. 

Our party ended up being a lovely, simple, fun day. We played some of the classic party games and the kids had a wonderful time. For full details of our Monster Party see born again creations - parties for pennies.

Hope everyone had a lovely Sunday!
