Ohhh what fun we had outside during Carter’s 1st birthday party, considering the weather was gorgeously hot and the sun was shining! Like I said earlier, the party was meant to be a pool party, so the kids were all dyyyyiiinggggg to get outside and into the sparkling water.

As were we!

The kids and adults were changed into their swimmers in a *flash*, and everyone hopped into the pool. Except for one little bumble bee who was a tad unimpressed at his mum’s choice of swim attire for him. Which mum isn’t guilty of dressing up her kid in something that will later come back to haunt them? 😉

The weather was glorious. Unfortunately for me, I was still busy dashing around talking to people, and didn’t have time to get into the pool to lounge and play around. A bummer as I did bring my swimmers and could’ve done with a bit of a cool off!

Most of the party hopped on in though, and it was so nice to see all the kids splashing around and laughing 🙂

My aunt was super kind and generous, and organised the whole catering for us! So it went from “afternoon nibblies will be provided” (as I was going to get just a few pastries and tarts) to a full-blown epic meal, courtesy of my aunt!

The food was yummy though, so there were no complaints 😉 I even got a chance to eat.. albeit in small snatches and bites as I had to hop up every minute or so to talk to someone. Still, I loved the food!!

And I also stuck on my DIY superhero cutouts to wooden sticks, and stuck ’em all through the food, to try and add to the theme 😛
