Kavin's Day.....

And so....15th came and went....and it took Aby and me two days to recover from the onslaught!! I had taken days to prepare for this event for Kavin's sake....and it passed off in a flash (an exhausting, tiring, sapped out flash!! ).

It was so great to see my little baby jumping around joyfully, screaming with his friends, snatching his presents (when they forgot to hand it over), eating cake, messing around, kicking the balloons, staring agog at the birthday candle, screaming 'la-ee-on' on seeing the cake...so unstoppable....demanding....and gleeful. Raise this to the power of 26 and u will be able to comprehend what i am talking about......26 such little brats.......all equally energetic, excited and uncontrollable......like a terminator force!!!

It was a great day...and i thoroughly enjoyed myself. Flashing back two years...i would 've preferred a torture camp to a room full of kids....but now I would'nt exchange it for anything in the world!! Wow!! How one transforms!!

The party went off smoothly....for people who didnt know where all I goofed up!!! he! he! Should i let the cat out of the bag? oh heck....y not? Here goes:-

1st goof up - forgot to handover the birthday hats to the kids! Realised it when the party was about to end...so handed it then!

2nd goof up - one of the dishes on the menu (cheese sandwiches)....made with such details and pains was left forgotten in the fridge.....it was only later in the night....when all the crowd had left that i saw it.....and sheepishly offered it to Aby and some friends to finish it off!! Thankfully they did!!

3rd goof up - "aunty we are leaving"......"ok, bye kids....thanks for coming..ta-ta" Oooops forgot to give them return gifts! I think .....it was only after 6 children had left that i realised i had something called return gifts for them also! Panic!! Rushed the maid after them to hand over the goodies....

One would think that with 8 years in the Army ...I would atleast be a flawless event manager.....but evidently I have a lot to learn about birthday parties!! Well next year....no FU's.....i will 'cakewalk' thru it!! :)
