As i sit here, drinking my coffee and writing this there are 100 and 1 things I should be doing.  There is a birthday cake to make, pinata to fill, biscuits to make, shopping to be done, and then there s the normal house stuff, but right now I cant be bothered!  I am hoping that the paddock out the front isnt plowed so I can use it at the weekend, I have not heard from many of the kindy parents that kids are coming, even though I asked them to rsvp, so I have made up 28 loot bags (31 kids have been invited!)  I think I have everything I want to do sussed, but I need to go and get banana boxes so we can have train races, wrap the pass the parcel etc why do we agree to do these things?  At least the weather is great and my washing is getting dry, although i have not caught up on the mountain loads made last week with sick children!  So birthday party is not going to be a frugal one, although got great bits on Trade me for loot bags!  Ah well, I guess I should go and make the island of sodor for the birthday cake, yes its a thomas party for mr thomas fanatic, this is his first “party” last few years we have gone to Glenbrook steam trains for the thomas days.  Next monday will be different, 4 kids at school! Yay
