I love reading about how other manage and enjoy their children. Guera - I am always so much calmer when I have my lists! Suze - Thanks for dropping by my blog! ickle kids - Thanks for the fantastic tips, you have this party stuff well sorted! Gypsy - Thanks and I loved your Food Meme. Annette - Checked out your farm party theme and think it is such a terrific idea. h&b - on the uninvited, I've tried just not to make too much of it. I generally have a basic criteria for whom we invite depending on the party - we may just keep it to the boys from the class or girls from the class and then just try to stay upbeat, and only commenting about it when I have to. Then I just refer back to our decision making purpose, empathise the party is for the kids and move on quickly!!! I understand completely about the food - I like it all to be just right as well. One way around it is, if you know who is likely to bring something, then actually ask them to help you by making "x". That way, they are happy contributing and you will hopefully be too because it will fit in to your theme. Marita – Thanks, I have subscribed to your blog as well.
