Weekend Party at JWT Gym

Dominique Thoughts Birthday parties, JWT Gym

This weekend the kids attended a friend’s daughter’s birthday party at JWT Gym. It was the 1st time that the boys attended a birthday celebration at such a venue. They had fun going on the slides and playing the game organized by the party organizers.

I remember I brought Ryan to this gym once when he was 1+yrs old for a free trial class. They do have quite a good gym syllabus but it is rather pricey for my liking. [It is about $300 per term of 10 lessons.]

I would rather take them to the 3-4 free playgrounds around the neighbourhood which I find are more challenging and interesting as the slides are higher and cater to an older range of kids.

The highlight of the party ,for me , was the cuting of the cake as it was the 1st time that I was catering cakes for a birthday party.

Princess Cake and pink cupcake theme for the little princesses 1st birthday.

How did you spend your weekend?

Dominique Thoughts Birthday parties

Last weekend the boys were invited to a friend’s 4yr old birthday party. They were simply thrilled at the party venue as the theme was on Thomas The Train. From the start to the end of the party Ryan was parked on the playmat in the centre of the room busily playing with the trainset that was set up there. The only time he left the mat was for cake cutting and singing happy birthday to the birthday boy. Talk about the Thomas and the law of attraction. 🙂

Roy on the other hand was alternating between the playmat and the buffet table checking out all the delicious homemade dishes that the host’s grandma cooked.

Roy took part in some of the games conducted at the party

– Pin the circle on Thomas ( adapted from pin the tail onto the donkey)

– Getting a peel on tattoo

– pulling of the Thomas pinata

I did try to entice Ryan to participate in the games but his response for every single one is ” No thank you, not interested” with his attention firmly on the train set. He did have a request though, he wanted a Thomas the Train cake on top of his previous request for a Diego and Lightning McQueen cake for his next birthday. It will be quite a tall order to fulfill.

Maybe I should make a cake with Diego sitting in Lightning McQueen with Thomas chugging along at the side? What do you think of this idea?
