Weekend Update part 1 - Saturday Morning

Last weekend was a rather hectic weekend for me. It started off with a birthday party at 10:30 a.m at Starship Galactica. The birthday girl is 8 year old Nana (Adreanna) , who leaves across my mom's house and who was Nayli's kindy mate.

My children have been asking us to take them here, for quite sometime, but we've pretty much managed to say no. It looked really crazy from outside, with kids running and screaming around. We totally do not want to let them loose in there by themselves, and we really do not feel like trapping ourselves in there with all those children running around us. So, that was my kids' lucky day. I guess since it was early still, the crowd has not come in yet. As for the 1st hour, only the party guests seemed to be in the play area, so the crowd was still ok. It didn't turn out to be that wild in there at all. Thank goodness, because Zaim went too!

There was a floor keyboard, nice!

He must have thought that he had gone to Ball Heaven, there were balls everywhere.

Trying out this air-gun thingy.

Zaim, was happily crawling all over the place.

It's raining balls!

A game of toss, oh no... what is Zaim chewing on!

Attacking the father.

The floor is nicely padded, so it's a safe place for the kids and parents to roll around. Though it is quite dangerous to leave Zaim, crawling around, since I just realised now lookin at the picture, his shirt is the exact same shade as the floor mat.

Trying out the padded stairs next.

Some0ne obviously is having a blast.


After an hour at the play area... it's time for FOOD!!!

A party is not a birthday party without the compulsory Musical Chair.

Paste the handbag at the right spot. I also would like you to pay some attention to the green cardboard on the left. It displays the list of everyone's guesses to the number of M&Ms that was placed in a transparent container. Let me crop the picture for you...

Ok, so Nayli entered her guess, and I entered for Zaim, since Zarif just think it's way too much for him to guess the M&M's. Nayli's guess was 110 and Zaim's 263, and Zaim won. He or rather I was spot on! Exactly 263 pieces of M&M!!!

Hitting the Pinata.

The pinata is broken... everyone is scrambling for the goodies.

Adreanna's birthday cake.

Blowing the candles.

That's Zaim with the prize that he won. It turned out to be a pink digital diary, much to Nayli's delight (it was after all an 8 year old girl's birthday party!), Zarif was so upset. He was hoping for a more unisex prize, something that he could share with his brother and sister.

By then it was already 1 something, it was a bit too much excitement for one morning for Zaim. Though, he refused to sit back and doze off properly. This is him, slowly nodding off.

Going down...

Bump! he hits the stroller bar!

This means, we managed to have a peaceful quite lunch after that.
