I have a feeling I’ll be finding bits of glitter everywhere for the next week.
Nerys went to her friend’s birthday party yesterday and had glitter tattoos on both her arms and glitter all over both cheeks. So by the time we got home she had dots of the stuff all over her face. And in her hair. And on my face where she’d hugged me.
She absolutely loved it though. This girl is a big fan of sparkles and pretty things.
I think all but 2 of the girls at the party were wearing their favourite princess dresses and they were all so excited when the special guest arrived.
My friend had arranged for Belle to come and entertain them with the glitter make up and some party games. They all absolutely loved it and had a brilliant time. This little group of girls make me smile so much, because one minute they’ll be sat beautifully still, waiting patiently to have a glitter tattoo put on. Then the next they’ll be bouncing around like loons, dancing like only 4 and 5 year olds can in a game of musical bumps.
It’s just such a lovely age where they seem so completely themselves.
I managed to get these photos of Nerys when we got home, in the last of the late afternoon sunlight in our back garden.
This was just before she burst her heart-shaped balloon wand that Belle made her, which made her burst into tears. I think both the children are so tired and ready for this last week of term to be over so they can have a little break. Their resilience just drops completely towards the end of term and things they can normally cope with suddenly become a bit too much.
Are your children on Easter holiday already or do you have another week to go like us?
My children aren’t of school age but my husband works in a school, so our holidays have just started. Children often find the last week of term tough. They’re just so tired, it’s nice for everyone to have a break! I hope you all make it through this week and have a lovely start to your Easter holidays together x #LivingArrows
They definitely need that break for Easter by the time it rolls around, don’t they! It feels SO late this year!
How pretty, it sounds like a lovely party but what a shame about the balloon wand. My kids are exactly the same the last week of term and often the first they are very tired and easily tearful. Hope you have a lovely week x #livingarrows
Oh what beautiful photos! I love how much little ones love glitter, and how us adults have come to dread the stuff! She looks so happy though, you’re right, it really does seem like a wonderful age! Here’s hoping you get a nice calm week before the holidays start for you x
My eldest is around the same age and I have to agree to her being very lively. We liken her to the Easter bunny. We are one week into the Easter break here. #LivingArrows
She looks so happy with her glitter on! Athena would be just the same x
Sounded like a wonderful party, shame about her balloon. Mine have struggled with another long term as well #livingarrows
Our holidays started at the beginning of this week. It sounds like a lot are that bit later this year because of Easter being at an odd time. Can’t beat a bit of glitter I’m not sure you ever really grow out of it! Xx
My girls would’ve loved it too and covered in glitter. Its the simple things they love the most. She looks so happy x
Aww, she looks like she is loving that glitter – it sounds like a lovely party too #LivingArrows
