Happy Birthday Eilish

Eilish turns 12 today. Happy Birthday Eilish!

We are having a quiet celebration tonight as both kids have swimming lessons after school. Eilish has decided to be very patient and wait until Gary gets home before opening her presents. I have had an order placed of home made pizza with chicken, cranberry and brie for dinner with creaming soda to drink. I think I can manage that.

The weather has been beautiful lately and looking set to get better. I even have the beginnings of a tan, whoopee!

Eilish has planned to have some of her birthday party at a reserve just up the road from us. I have been busy making a Pinata which the kids are going to beat the living daylights out of. Will have to remember to bring the camera, if only to take pics of the people passing by. We have organised a pile of games all aimed to make the kids look really silly in a public place. Should be great fun.

Better go and start making pizza's for now

Memories

Woo, I am tired tonight. I think I may have walked a bit too far this morning. Oh well, if it doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger. Or just wears your legs out. The sun is definitely putting in more of an appearance these days so it is time to don the shorts and get out in to it. I only hope my shoes and body survive my sudden burst of spring appreciation.

Over the weekend the kids were mesmerised reading over their 'First Five Years' books. Commenting on pictures and laughing over first words etc. Both kids picked one of the things they liked the most out of their books for me to type up.

Connor's book - Age 6 months - Connor just loves it when Eilish talks and laughs with him. It is just shame that she seems to think he is her own personal Weebles Wobble toy.

Eilish's Book - Age 3ish - Eilish woke up one night crying and said to me still half asleep"Mummy, I can't find anything to put in nothing", and then went straight back to sleep.

The pic of Connor in the car was taken about a month after we moved to Adelaide the first time. It is amazing to look at my huge monster now and know that he still going to grow more. Arrgh
