Another party for Frodo on Saturday. This one was a "sports party" in the sports hall at Hope University.
This meant that rather than the usual pass the parcel the kids got to play "cat and mouse" (half the kids stick a sports bib in the back of their shorts, the other half chase them and try to pull out the bibs), relay races, duck and goose (sit in a circle whilst one child walks round the outside, tapping each person on the head and saying "duck". When they say "goose" the goose has to get up and chase them around the circle, trying to catch them before they get back to their seat).
Also a couple of games involving a multi-coloured parachute. One kid on top of the parachute trying to catch another kid underneath, which sounds easy, except that the parachute is being flapped by everybody else. Throwing balls in the middle of the parachute and sending them flying out again by flapping the parachute up and down.
Novelist Supermum has been doing some research into Xmas presents already! We've been buying a few Schleich model Knights, and putting them away for the day we get a suitable wooden or similar castle. The Edix modular mediaeval village stuff looks good.
We've come across
this site which shows the full Schleich range, and will be useful for the harder to find models. I like the Arabian Knights in particular.
So that's my present sorted - I wonder what Frodo and Samwise are getting ;-)

I *need* the jester :)
We bought the jester in a toyshop in Conwy. I've seen him once in Toys 'R' Us - where all of these figures get snapped up fast.
