DD1 was 10 on Thursday. For the last few years I have played safe with taking her and a few friends bowling, theatre, beauty salon etc, but this year (being her 10th bday) I decided she could have a proper party. So last Thurs we had a disco in our lounge and invited 13 of her friends. Luckily our lounge isn't too small and my DH is a DJ!
It was a warm evening so the girls alternated between the disco and playing outside in the garden (trampoline, apple-bobbing etc) and I did pizza etc for the food.
They all really enjoyed the party but by 8 pm I was thoroughly knackered and shell-shocked (10-years olds can become quite wild when they're in a pack!).
Great night, but I'm glad it's over. Now I've got a party to organise for DD2 who will be 5 in December and her Reception class has 30 kids! Oh dear .....
