Lucas' 3rd birthday...party 3 disaster strikes

Well today was supposed to be Lucas' birthday with our close friends that live in our area. Lou and I stayed up late cleaning the apartment and making 3 quiches, and 2 cakes etc. Lucas started coughing when we put him to bed, he had had a nasty cold for nearly a week now so w thought it was finally lifting. By midnight we were getting concerned as the poor kid was still coughing and hadn't had much sleep. We tried everything to settle the cough but he couldn't stop coughing. By 2am we rang a mobile doctor to come out. They said that we would have to wait 2 hours for one to come. We didn't want to go out in the cold to the hospital so we waited. The doctor arrived at 3am we still hadn't been to bed. By now Remy was awake and we had to move her to our room to settle her but we had no luck, so everyone was up to greet the doctor.
The doctor said he had Laryngitis and a middle ear infection, the poor little guy. They gave him something to sleep and by 4am we finally got everyone to sleep. Arghhh but the party would have to be cancelled. Everyone was due at 9:30 so we would have to get up at 8am at least to tell everyone not to come.
Below is his 3rd birthday cake which I spent and hour on which was now just a show piece for us at home with the party being cancelled.
Lucas was a little up set that the kids could come so I got him to decorate the second cake (which was birthday cake number 4). He and Remy ate most of the lollies before they got to the cake which was great as they wouldn't eat breakfast but they'd eat the lollies.
Then of course we had to light the candle, Lucas was becoming professional at blowing out candles by now.Next we had to light the candles on the car cake.

I gave Remy a candle to blow out and she was wrapped!
Then she tried to take the candle off me, but eventually she blew out the candle.
