Eventually my sister has made the very sensible move from smelly London to lovely Scotland. Her twin girls have just turned 2 and to celebrate we had a joint birthday party with Ian’s daughter Katie, who turned 5 the day before. It all seemed like a good idea. Then the chaos began.
1st how to transport all 3 nieces (the twins and their 2 month old sister) to Luncarty, with only one car and one car seat, for the baby. As in London having a car is pretty much a lot more hassel than it’s worth they never bothered to get one. Mum’s car isn’t big enough to take 3 car seats, so Ian had to make 2 trips with his one toddler child seat in order to get everyone there. Once there the hall was freezing (not surprising for December in Scotland) and not set up and another load of children of varying ages were due very soon.
Thankfully we managed to get everything ready on time and we could sit back and enjoy the running, screaming, shouting, crying, jumping and general madness of the party! I took the camera with me, but the light was shockingly bad and is hard to get a shot with so many fast moving little people getting in the way or moving before I can focus. But I managed to get some. 2 hours or so later the guests left, the wee ones were over tired and grumpy and the hall was a little trashed. But the birthday girls seemed to have had a good day, and I guess that’s what counts!
