Party Loot Treasure Chests

I’ve made up a printout for this project. You’ll probably need to muck around with the scale in ‘print preview’, because I’m new to this.

And the photo isn’t ‘one I made earlier’. It’s one from a party that Mr Bump attended.

So I’m lazy today.
The timber floorboards are real. Does that help?

You will need:

• A4 cardboard

• This template

• Pencils or textas to decorate

What to do:

• Print the template on cardboard and cut out the shape. Thinner lines are for folding, not cutting.

• Let little Johnny or Jenny colour it in or paint it.

• Then fold it and glue it and mark it with ‘B’. (But don’t put it in the oven because it will start a fire and they might not get there quickly enough to save your house.)

• Fill with party goodies and scoff some down while you’re at it. The sugar will tide you over until mealtime.

• Drink some red cordial too, if you’re really tired (or if the kids are really rowdy).

Other Thoughts:

• Cut out some pictures for younger kids to glue on.

• Draw some pictures for the kids to colour in.

• Great lollies for this type of party are chocolate money, candy jewellery and jewels (or clear boiled lollies).

Party ‘Till Your Daddy Drops

Busy day relaxing today.

Hubby took Mr Bump to a 5yo party in the park.

Mr Bump came home wide awake (we hoped he’d fall asleep in the car) and hasn’t stopped all afternoon. He’s fine.

But Daddy needed a nap.

Wren had a 7yo party up the street, where they’re doing High School Musical performances with a huge projector screen backdrop.

Unfortunately, I had to come home and watch Mr Bump so Daddy could nap.

Such a shame to miss it.

Although we don’t live that far away, so if I get really suicidal miss their dulcet tones, I can just walk out the front with my foxy grandma ear trumpet.

The ordeal party should be over by about 5.30, so then we get to listen to Wren endlessly singing 2 lines of the same song over and over. Into her hairbrush.

I can’t wait.

Bet you didn’t know you could raise free range guinea pigs, did you?

Mr Bump & I spent the afternoon terrorising cuddling with the guinea pigs and discovering more freaky fungi in the backyard.
