alex birthday

For Alex's birthday this year he had a sleepover with 14 boys, and we bought in Lazer tag to our garden. it was a night event, from 9-11pm, then they fired candy from a cannon, we all sang Happy Birthday to alex and the boys settled down for a movie..a long night I can tell you.

from the back yard looking up to the decking the morning after

I turned 45 this year and we held a party, the theme was Scotland and everyone came appropriately dressed. The house and decking was all themed, I even made a wreath for the front door with different tartans.

Cara's birthday

Today she is 20...how did that happen..We have been out for Lunch at Freebirds and had burritos..Mum, Cara and I, then tonight we are all going out to the Steakhouse..will try and post a picture then of Cara..actually Allan had one as well, we bought it home for him..he is on pool maintenance again today!!! he is soooo lucky.

Although it is Easter Monday..it is not a holiday for us, so Cara has to wait until the boys are in from school for her presents..she was not here this morning when they went to school as she is kitten sitting...so now she has to look at the presents and not have them...not long to go now..

in the evening

so we did the whole cake and candle thing in the evening as well..he had such a nice day..even school went well in his eyes, which was great news for us..

Bens actual birthday

This was at 0630 on a school day, so time was not on our side, but we managed to get his presents opened and send him off to school with a full tummy of pancakes...i had agreed on Saturday I would cook him bacon and eggs and he could eat in bed...the requests of a seven year old..as you can see he is very excited..i think the whole trip and much fewer presents was great, we had time and he was not over whelmed. Other people had co-ordinated with his present so he ended up with 5 games to play...a very thrilled little boy.





we put the normal sweets out and I had iced a load of cookies to take in to his class with all thier names on..once more a request of a seven year old..very demanding these seven year olds..lets hope he improves!!!!!
