Fireworks Party Fun

We were going to set off our fireworks outside the flats, but were invited over to Janet & Oscar's instead. Janet's mate Zoe and her little boy Harry were there too.

I set up the fireworks while the girlies made hotdogs and coffee for everyone, and tons of cake and ice cream for the nippers, who were playing together and having great fun as if they were old friends. The boys had been given torches on arrival and were having a lot of fun playing with them, and spotting non-existant monsters in the garden. We then trooped out to set off the fireworks (we had lots of them, great 2 for 1 deals from supermarkets), including 17 rockets, catherine wheels, roman candles, the good old-fashioned names from my childhood. Sam watched from inside as he's not keen on the bangs yet, and Daddy forgot the ear defenders, doh.

It was a lovely evening. I don't think I have been to a "proper" fireworks party like that for maybe 20 years. Only downer was Sam's mum phoning up in a strop because we'd gone to the party AND NOT TOLD HER. How terrible. She was also trying to illicit as much info as possible about the two lovely ladies who were there. It was pretty embarrassing altogether. As we left Sam and Harry were given a special Spiderman toothbrush and holder, which Sam was so excited about.

Sam cried when we left, "end of funtime" tears, but he went to sleep really nicely at bedtime after a story or two. Bedtime for me now as well, got a busy day playing tomorrow and a few drinks with a gaggle of gorgeous girlies in the evening. Can't be bad eh?
