Ben’s 5th Birthday
On Friday 23rd May, at 0959 to be precise, Ben was five. It also happened to be an Inset day at his school which was nice for him, although he now does think he will have his birthday off school every year.
After collecting Jessica from pre-school, Ben, Andrew and I headed off to Pizza Hut where we met a couple of Ben’s friends and their mums for lunch. We then went on to The Mad House, a soft play centre. Because it appeared to be only Ben’s school which was closed that day, the place was nearly deserted apart from a small number of pre-school age children. It meant that Ben, Jessica, Joseph, Megan and Katie had the place almost to themselves, and the grown-ups, Andrew, Wendy, Claire and myself had free choice of comfy sofas to sit on and watch the children.
All in all it was a pretty nice day, Ben got lots of great presents including a camera, Transformers, Lego, Power rangers Watch and SpiderMan toy, and on the Saturday we had a family tea party complete with birthday cake where he received even more presents like a Power Rangers suit and toy phone, Power Rangers figures, bike stand and more Lego. We are off to Legoland in a couple of weeks, have a feeling his collection will grow some more….
