Thanks so much everyone for your very touching comments. As it turns out we had a pretty good day.
Toby really enjoyed his cake and his absolute favourite presents are a wooden marble run and a disco ball. Amy is coveting the disco ball but is content to share it and of course we had to have a disco which turned into 2 hours of dancing to her pop junior cd with the lights off and the disco ball going. She even made signs for the door: Closd for Privat Party and insisted I made fruit cocktails (orange juice with a slice of lemon, icecube and twizzle stick).
When we woke up this morning it was one of those perfect autumn mornings that I love so much - all misty and still with dew dripping off everything.
It is the small things that give pleasure, dancing with children, indulging their fantasies and the beauty of nature. Thanks again for thinking of us x.
Glad you had nice day in the end and got took some lovely photos. Toby's expression is great on that photo. Nice cake.

Oh I'm so glad your day went well. Haven't been around for a few days (computer problems) and have been catching up on your posts. I was once given a book about mothers, can't remember what it was called or who wrote it but in it there was a story about the angels talking to God about who to give a "special" child to. And God explained why these "special" children couldn't just have any mother they had to be very, very special mothers who could appreciate those extra special days. You just reminded me of that story.
