This weekend is going to be very busy!

It is Ellie’s 4th Birthday on Sunday, and she is having a big party for it. So as you can guess, there is going to be lots to do in the run up to the event.

Its still hard to believe that our little girl was born 4 years ago, the time has gone so quick! She’ll be starting school in September, which is a scary thought.

Anyway, I digress! Back to this weekend, on Saturday, Gemma and Ellie, along with Nana Mandy, are off to Liverpool to go and see “High School Musical – The Stage Show” at the Empire Theatre.

Ellie is very excited as she loves High School Musical. It is going to one big day out for her, with trips on the bus and train, and having lunch out. It’s not often that you turn 4 years old!

For the party there is lots to do. All the food has to be prepared, which is a job and a half. We have 26 children (plus parents!) coming to the party on Sunday, so you can imagine the amount of sandwiches and sausage rolls that will need to be made. Hopefully, it shouldn’t take too long to do once we work out a little system.

Quite a bit of the food can be prepared in advance, like the sausage rolls and pizza fingers, but the sandwiches will have to wait until Sunday so we can keep them as fresh as possible. Luckily, there’ll be an extra pairs of hands to help out, as Nana Mandy is staying over. Not sure if she knows this or not!

There is also the balloons to blow up, and the games to prepare. There is so much work that goes into organising one of these things! Luckily Gemma has done the most of it, sending out the invites etc, getting all the necessary supplies like cups and plates.

All being well there shouldn’t be any hiccups and everything will go according to plan! And as long as I’m not too tired I’ll give you an update on how it all went.
