ailbheWe had a total failure of communications and Rob's usual short-term memory loss, so we've just finished making and decorating Linnea's cake and I've finally had an evening snack (I left for the market before dinner, Rob fed the girls, there was none for me, yes we had a row about it but it's probably ok now).
There are photos of the cake, in case it gets destroyed.
In the morning I need to phone the people who probably have NOT received a paper invitation and make sure they've remembered the two or three oral invitations. I also need to clean the kitchen and make about 35-40 sandwiches. And a few fruit kebabs. And Linnea can make paper chains to decorate her party with. And I need to slice and decorate the flapjacks for nursery; if I can't, we can buy something at the co-op before she goes.
I'm aiming for four kinds of sandwiches: ham, tunamayo, eggmayo, and cheese. That depends on getting the eggs boiled and cooled. I'll make a big flask of coffee and a big pot of tea, for the grownups, and a huge jug of squash for the children. There will be fruit kebabs, carrot sticks, and maybe cucumber sticks if I don't need them all for the sandwiches. IF everything goes totally according to plan (it won't) there might be hot food for the children's tea, but not enough for the adults too, unless I buy some sort of instafood like sausage rolls. There are crisps.
For dessert there's the cake, and two colours of jelly, and biscuits. I think that's almost certainly enough, really.
We're looking at around ten children and most of them will bring at least one parent, I expect.
Wish us luck.
And wish us sleep. Rob's due at work in about 6 hours. I start... slightly earlier. Heh. Hah. Hmm.
But! The cake is lovely! She will adore it muchly yes!
