Party Envy

“You’re really enjoying yourself aren’t you?” asked a bemused father at a child’s party recently. I noted my sore cheeks and realised I must’ve been grinning for the past half hour, enraptured by the entertainer (fairies are my favorite), laughing at the children’s responses, getting some cute shots, and, well, REALLY enjoying myself, so “Yes, yes I am” came my response to bemused father-of-one-of-many-little-fairies.

I am proud to admit that I love love LOVE photographing kids parties, especially when there’s an entertainer involved. And yes, I’m ENVIOUS too… Why can’t I have my face-painted? Where’s my tutu/wings/sword/prize/lolly bag?!

This envy was a massive factor in deciding to have a SUPERHERO party for my 30th birthday. Finally, I got to have little cookies iced to look like me, jars of lollies that I could eat without feeling I was being greedy, a long red cape, and my very own cake with a candle to blow out! Yay!

Its been 9 months since my birthday… I think I need to start planning my next party… the trouble is I don’t want to celebrate 31… maybe I can start the planning for 40? Or perhaps I just need to have children so I can plan their parties? That may not be a healthy reason to start a family. Hmmmmm…
