Growing Up: Par-Tee Time

The boys celebrated their 6th and 3rd birthday, respectively, today with a fun miniature golf party at Mini Putt, Citta Mall.

Our amazing golf-bag cake!

Decor was basically DIY, with a golf ball/tartan theme,
although the mini-golf ambiance definitely helped

Food items were named according to theme too,
e.g. doughnuts = hole-in one; blue jelly = watering hole;
fishballs = golf balls; sandwiches = sand-wedges;
drinks = watering hole; pasta = in the rough;
chicken drummets = club heads; tea = tea off

  

 
It was a great time for us to spend with family and friends. I like activities where parents and children can participate together, and miniature golf was a big hit with all ages.

 

I used to dread having boys because I thought I'd never know how to relate to them or do stuff with them that they'd enjoy. It seemed easier with my girly Girl, as she liked the ribbon and the frills, the art and craft, the princesses and anything that involved dressing up. But my boys don't like colouring or sitting still for any periods of time. They were always running about, doing action figure stances and trying out the most dangerous-looking stunts.

But I really thank God for my boys. I'm so blessed to be their Mommy. I've learnt to appreciate their differences, in nature, personality and interests (there's no such thing as "too many cars"). And the Lord has been teaching me different ways to relate to them and to bring them up in Him.

So darling Boy and Baby, blessed birthday! Mommy loves you very much. And Jesus loves you most of all!
