5 years

OH MY GOSH!!
Kaydin is 5 on Friday! How on earth did that sneak up so fast? We've had so many "last" moments and more to come. Weds is his last school visit before he starts, Friday is his last day at playschool (and also his birthday), Monday his last day off before his first day of school on tuesday. He's excited about school and likes his teacher (which is lucky).
I'll have to bring plenty of tissues on tuesday for me...

Birthday Plans

Kaydin's 5th Birthday is coming up (still a wee while away yet though) and he decided months ago that he wanted a Dinosaur party. So i've been thinking of ideas for the party, games and food ideas, i managed to buy some easter eggs to put in a nest for a 'dino nest hunt' instead of a treasure hunt. The Cake idea progressed from just a Dino shaped cake to a Erupting Volcano cake nad now his dad had an idea for an egg cake that when Kaydin cuts it open it will have plastic dinos inside "hatching out". However he did leave the way to make it up to me to figure out. But i have a couple of different ways to choose from so we will see how it goes. I found dino invites which last month so i've already got them organised, just have to write the list out. Looking forward to it actually being close enough to start impleting these plans and hoping the day (and cake) goes well and will definatly put up photos after the day

Birthday Party

Recently Kaydin celebrated his birthday.Because he is really into 'Ben10' (an animated series about a boy that can turn into aliens) we had a Space themed birthday. It went really well, Kaydin dressed all in green and then had his face painted green as well. we had fire alien, many 3 aliens with masks, 2 aliens with tinfoil head bits and a princess alien. Kaydin had great fun that day. The kids all glowing bracelets (like glowsticks but able to be put in a circle,a pack of 15 for $2) and they won spiders and lollipops in the pass the parcel. Kaydins cake was a spaceship which didn't work out aswell as i would have liked but the kids liked it, and they loved the green jelly!
Next year however i think Kaydin's dad can have a turn organising his birthday, although i have said that the past 2 yrs so imnot sure how likely that will happen :)
