Panic stations


At least the birthday cake passed the initial taste test

Tomorrow is Bargy's second birthday party. The pace is frenetic over here at Chez Hoppo Bumpo.

I wish I could find my "to do" list"; I don't cope with stress very well. There's still a house to be wrapped, food to be cleaned and children to be baked.

  1. I prefer my children well done, thanks.

  2. This little one looks baked to perfection. Happy birthday to Bargy, I am sure he wont care what the state of anything is like as long as he can eat as much sugar as possible and rip some paper.

  3. Just do what you can and rest assured that anything you'll organise will be better than my last two attempts at birthday parties. My approach to pre-party stress is complete shut-down... and the hoe that a plate of fairy-bread will suffice!

  5. Cute photo.

    Drink. A. Glass. Of. Wine.

    And relax. I am sure it will be a huge hit. I too suffer great stress getting ready for parties. In fact, I may have abused a stranger after the cake flopped and I was ill-prepared. EEEEEK!

    Go you!

  7. Hooray for raw cake mix! When I was little I used to think of requesting this for my lunch. Might whip myself up a batch now!

    Happy Birthday to the little Barge!
