Madison's 5th birthday

Madison will be turning 5 next month.

My neighbour's kid turns 5 in the same month, and she also goes to the same school, so we decided to throw a joint celebration this year. ( Bigger budget, so better party!)

She came up with a few good suggestions.. ( she's a bigger party animal than I am!)

1. Hire a bouncy castle
2. Hire a balloon sculpting guy ( who also provides popcorn and candy floss!)

First we had to clear the main hurdle of getting approval for the bouncy castle to be installed in our condominium.

Last night I attended the management council meeting at the condo. And asked politely if we could be allowed to have the bouncy castle. It was approved!

So now we have to find the right sized castle and pray it doesn't rain. Looks like it will cost just over $500 for 4-5hours of rental. Divided by the 2 of us it's not too bad.

Once I had the approval, I sent out invitations via Whatsapp to the mothers in Madison's class. It's a bit nerve wrecking waiting for replies.. silly, I know.. but it's like.. what if no one wants to come??!!

Actually I got stressed because just before I sent out my invites another classmate sent his out for his party at an indoor playground the week after Madison's party. So it's quite fortunate my neighbour E asked me to do a combined one on the 9th of March instead of the 16th.

I volunteered to make the cake for the girls to share ( not making 2 cakes!!). I'm struggling to think of what cake to make. They wanted a dino cake, but dino cakes don't look that nice... most look like crocodiles!

We'll probably cater food for everyone ( easier than trying to cook ).

We'll also probably get balloons and goody bags for the kids.

I can't believe it's in 2 weeks!
