Yesterday was Arty's 4th birthday. Because of the Easter holiday he had his party last Saturday with his friends from nursery. Jenny organised a forest school party at a local primary school for him.
All the kids seem to love forest school, they get to play in the dirty, build dens, hunt for bugs and generally have a great time getting dirty.
All Arty could talk about all week was his party and was really looking forward to it, unfortunately on the day he wasn't very well, he was sick just before and only played for a short while, his, daddy had to hold him while he slept for the rest of it.
Bonnie and Jacob playing in the mud kitchen.
There was face painting, Bonnie couldn't have hers done because she had just got over chicken pox.
They got to toast marshmallows and eat them around the camp fire
Me and Jacob made giant bubbles, he was very impressed
And he got the hang of it and made some himself :-)
Getting small kids to all look at the camera at the same time is a nightmare, lol
Poor Arty missed out on all the fun waking, up just as it was all finishing
He did perk up enough to open the presents his friends had bought him once they got home
He was much better the next day, just one of those 24 hour bugs.
Yesterday, on his actually birthday we went to the zoo. Joanne was at work so I took Bonnie and Jacob, although yet again one of them was sick, this time it was Jacob's turn. Poor thing only managed to get halfway round before he fell asleep and I had to call his daddy to come and get him because he woke up crying for his momma and seemed like he'd got a temperature, fortunately the zoo is only a short drive from home so he didn't have to wait for long.
Joanne ended up taking him to get checked out at A&E because he was really hot and very lethargic. They got home around midnight, his temperature had come down and it was put it down to something viral. She said he seems much better today.
Honestly, these kids are a constant worry to me!
The remaining three had a great time at the zoo, nanny was absolutely shattered though last night and has spent today recovering, lol
Wishing you all a Happy Easter

Happy Easter.
Happy Birthday to Arty! The kids look as if they are having a lot of fun, what a shame that Arty was sick and couldn't join in. You are right they are a constant worry, my little 4 year grandson seems to get over one thing and then he's ill with the next. Have a great Easter weekend. xx
Oh Poor Arty missing all the fun at his own party, I hope the presents he opened afterwards made up for it. It looks a great party and the other children seem to be having lots of fun in the photos. You've had a busy week with all the celebrations, no wonder you were shattered.
The one thing you can depend on is being shattered after a play day, and they will be full of bugs at this time of year.
A roller coaster of emotions for you. It's so worrying when little folk get a temperature. Still you made it through. I love the idea of a forest party, i hadn't heard of them before. Have a Happy Easter. Jean. x
You are such an endearing Nanny. Those children look
as though you gave them a world of fun... Hope the
little ones are now recovered (as well as Nanny)
Kids and parties, I remember them well. Always a little one crying on their birthday, or mine drinking fizzy drinks and dancing at the disco. Always sick for sure. My youngest son had frequent high temperature virus. Not good when you worry. I resorted to a cool flannel of the tepid variety to bring the temperature down. Eternally pleased with Calpol and ibuprofen. Take care Cx
There seems to be quite a few bugs circulating at the moment...
Happy Birthday Wishes to Arty.
I did enjoy seeing all of your photographs.
Happy Easter Wishes.
All the best Jan
Happy Birthday Arty. Sorry you were ill on the party day.
I am glad to read that Jacob was better today.
Happy Easter.
God bless.
What a fun looking party Jenny organized. And what a shame Arty was sick on his big day. Love the party photos--especially the one of little Jacob and you making the giant bubbles, Maggie! Hope all the kids are feeling better this week ♥
What a wonderful party! So sad that the birthday boy was ill. It is so difficult to see the children sick!
