birthday planning . . .

Hiya all,

I'm a huge forward planner, i like things to be booked and ready, I'm really not a last minute person, sometimes i wish i could be when I'm laid awake at night with 1001 things running through my head that i need to book,order and send for birthday and occastions months ahead. For example the hen do of a close friend I'm attending in June, i was in charge of goodie bags, i already have them brought and sorted, willys galore!!

Yesterday my little man turned 34months, (yes im aware you should sop counting there age in months but i cant help it) which means in 2 months time Harry will turn 3!

When did this happen? how on earth did my newborn suddenly become a 3year old child? surely Ive been conned and time has been stolen somewhere.

Now we have in between now and Harry's birthday, Gareth's brother turning 4 in feb, then my nieces 18th bday, then my moms bday in march, followed by my sister in laws, my other nieces 17th, Gareth's nans, then Gareth's 24th birthday and then after that the main mans himself - 22nd march - HARRY'S!

All the time in the house with the snow, Ive spent alot of it thinking of what i want to do for his birthday. I think for sure, the theme will be fireman Sam/fire engines. (last year was Disney cars theme) He LOVES nee naws, love love loves them. Were not having a big party, will be Harry and my 2 nieces round my house for a little tea party, but i still like to dress the house up and have balloons for him to wake up to for his birthday morning.

My sister will be baking his birthday cake, it will be, of course, a fire engine. Thinking Jupiter from fireman sam. (last years was tow mater)

Im thinking of having a pinata too as he loved the one at my nieces birthday party, and get them all little plastic firefighter helmets to wear for the party.

A few days before Harry's birthday were taking him to Thomas Land at drayton mannor. Its only 40mins roughly from our house, and he does love Thomas the tank engine, so im hoping he will enjoy it.

So there we go, my plans for Harry's birthday, don't have a clue on presents, we will more than likely be buying the last few bits of his fireman sam playset, so he will have the whole set then.

If anyone has any ideas that would fit in the fireman/fireman sam theme please do let me know, i would be really greatful :)

Im off to get ebaying to buy decorations now.

Love Lucy x
