There has been a flurry of activity going on here over the last week, birthdays, followed by halloween birthday parties
Boys parties.... a whole different ball game to girls... I wish someone had warned me! James only wanted four friends to his party, so I thought we would have it at home, how easy could that be? Hhh Hmmm. Not easy is the answer. I think the noise level nearly broke some windows at some point, every animal in the house hid for safety and post party Lauren resembled someone who had just returned from battle. I think we may take James' parties elsewhere next year ;o
I also met up with a lovely friend from blogland, Helen and her family are on their camper hols, and came to see me at the studio. It was so lovely to meet up and meet her lovely family.
And back at the ranch this little one, our one remaining little soldier, has been up to allsorts of mischief.
but who can resist him, really.... far too gorgeous.
Have a great week everyone... xxx

Aaaaarrrrggghhh, I want that little kitty. Boys birthday parties, horrendous, I agree. Harry only has 6 or so friends but it feels like it's 36. Noise levels, oh yes, truly awful. We were on holiday for his birthday this year so I've escaped the party. It looks like your little one enjoyed himself anyway!

Happy Birthday mini magpie man!
Kitten joy! I imagine your kitten's commentary to go something like this "Brilliant game....... who me?"

The boys party shocked me too after having two girls before. Glad you enjoyed it all. The kitten is too cute.

Glad to hear you have survived - and that kitten is just gorgeous - will he be for sale at the Vintage and Handmade Fair...?

Ha! I told my husband about this post! We have two sons and the house is always a disaster area after their birthday parties, yet we do them at home again year after year! I guess it's like having a baby. You forget about the pain!!!

What cuties - both human and feline :) Parties are definitely not for having at home; take 'em elsewhere and let someone else pick up the mess afterwards I say!

I see lots of kittens around blogland at the moment, and normally I prefer adult cats, but he is simply gorgeous!
