Body Shop at home (with 10 toddlers)

Yes, so I hosted a Body Shop at Home party today. Was chaos but fun. 10 toddlers in total. Isobel (who seems to have dropped her sleep at midday - she just lies in her cot singing twinkle twinkle really loudly!) was a little tired and slightly overwhelmed by all the visitors. There were products to test, tea and cake. Peppa pig went down well. As did the vic sponge (can't beat a vic sponge with buttercream and jam) and some raisin and carrot muffins (from Annabel Karmel and vaguely healthy as they have wholemeal flour and carrots!) and the yummy scones Mrs Wonky Pocket made.

So what did I learn about having a party with toddlers:

•  toddlers (well, Isobel) like to stick their hands in the body shop creams and wipe them all over the floor 
• Peppa Pig biscuits lead to a sugar high..... 
• you have to be very careful with the cups of tea....I made myself a few and didn't drink any of them!
• the house looks like a bomb has hit it 

In summary it is ideally better to have an evening one with no children and lots of wine!

Been making a pudding for tomorrow night when we are having Mr and Mrs Wonky Pocket round for some Sichuan heat! Thought I would make something cooling. Will post something on this after the meal as the pudding so far tastes yummy! In fact I've eaten so much of it whilst making it that a) I feel sick and b) am not sure how much will be left. Definitely not one for small fry.
