So did he remember the ice-cream promise? I would regret coming out with that one because I would be woken up with the ice-cream scoop in my face!

I hope the birthday plans are well ahead and you guys all have a great day.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now as DS came home on Friday with the news that he wants all the boys in his class (all 16) and half the girls (about 8) to come to his party! The numbers in itself, although a bit on the high side, are not so much the problem as we have the space and it will be summer here, the real problem is most of those kids have now turned 8 and will nearly all be by the time he is 7, (late birthday as well as being skipped). Last year we got away with taking his two best mates to the country fair for a picnic lunch and some goes on the fairground rides. I have no idea how to get round this one and what to do with a group of older kids. DS still has an endearing childishness to him and gets heaps of joy from real party stuff like magicians and bouncy castles but the last party he went to with a classmate they were all playing playstation games. Any ideas?
