With Arran and Bryttain's birthdays being only two weeks apart, the last two years we have taken advantage of being able to do a joint party for them. This is a short-lived period, I am sure. Up until now they have had all the same friends and have been happy to go along with it, plus they each got to celebrate their respective birthdays on the correct days of course.
This year Arran will be starting school and making new friends and their interests are starting to take on different shapes, so the years ahead will most probably have a lot more work involved, but for this year we took the wonderful easy route.
We rented a place called Pump It Up and the kids all got to jump, bounce and slide to their hearts' content for an hour, then we had the party room for cake and presents. It was great! We didn't have to do a huge tidying up session of our house, which of course would have been before and after the party and what we had not realized in advance, was just how much the staff did in terms of helping. It was wonderful, they cut and handed out the cake and helped the kids with the presents, even writing down a list of all they had received.
The children all had so much fun, got a good workout and the parents were able to join in or watch and chat. Best of all, we left them with the mess!
