Noah's Dinosaur Party

While I was in SA, my nephew Noah turned 2. Emma went to a lot of trouble organising his all singing, all dancing, all roaring DINOSAUR party.

One of the biggest hits on the day were these linker balloons. They have little toggles on the ends so that you can tie them together. Oscar and Noah loved them, and I really love this picture of them running around with them. I didn't like the background, but the beauty of digital images is that you can remove what you don't like in photoshop.

A well as countless linker balloons, there was a jumping castle, complete with in-built slide. Hand painted dinosaur murals (How does Emma find the time!!!???).

And an amazing dinosaur cake.

I think one little dinosaur found the whole thing a little overwhelming at times. But when the cake was served he seemed to enjoy himself very much.

The party was a dinosaur sized success and everyone had a great time, including two very naughty grown ups who got on the jumping castle at the end of the party and were busted when the castle man came to pick it up!!

With everything that Emma has on her plate, I can't believe that she was able to organise this party, make a dinosaur cake, paint dinosaur murals and cook enough food for lots of very hungry people. I could barely manage to have a daily shower when Ben was five weeks old.

I heard a couple of Emma's friends talking about her on the day. The conversation went like this:

Friend 1: "Is there anything she can't do?"

Friend 2: "Have girl babies."
