Max’s birthday party went well. The rain held off (phew) and the trampoline got a good workout and kept the twelve four year olds we had at the party from over-running the place!
Here are some shots.
So much going on at the moment and I apologise for a lack of updates. Over the next few days I’ll tell you about what’s happening with the boys, what’s happening with us and all about my new job (the thing that’s been keeping me busy lately)
before all that though I’d like to wish my big four year old a happy birthday and cross my fingers that his party goes OK today – rain forecast, sheesh!
In the tradition of the last few years here is Max on each of his birthdays.
This is Max’s first picture of a person. Vic wandered over to him at playgroup to discover that he’d been sitting there drawing this. When asked who it was he repied that it was a picture of his best friend Freddy 
The hair was an afterthought added on when he got home….
Today was a busy day! The beginning of the afternoon was spent at an end-of-football-season team and family BBQ which was a rushed affair for us seeing that we had to head off to a birthday party. Max has a way busier social life than Vic and I put together!
The morning was spent finishing off Max’s magician costume for his friends Freddy’s fourth birthday party which went from two until four this afternoon. Vic and I made the whole thing from scratch, including the wand, and I reckon it would have been cheaper (and certainly easier) to just buy an outfit. In saying that it was quite satisfying to see that Max was the only kid in an outfit that was hand made. Elliot went as a rock star with a little sleeveless denim jacket that Jason and Selena bought him from the UK. We didn’t get a picture of Elliot but hopefully someone at the party did ‘cos he looked so cute.
It was a nice day today and the boys made the most of it by playing in the sandpit and baring their legs for the first time in a few months! Here they are taking a break and having a spot of morning tea
It seems that the bug that Max and Elliot have/had really is going around as Vic just told me that 15 of the 40 kids at Max’s kindy were off sick yesterday!
As for our boys Max was full of energy this morning and besides having an upset tummy seems to be back to normal. Elliot seems OK and is keeping his food down but is still a bit grizzly.
