Happy 6th Birthday


Last week our little boy turned SIX!! I can't believe how grown up that sounds!! He's still my baby :-) LMS came home from University to be here for his birthday, and Drama Teen was off school with the Chicken Pox, so he had plenty of cheerleaders for his celebrations :-) Unfortunately Mr Messy was away on another photography course and didn't get home until the evening, which upset Little Prince, but it couldn't be helped. I spent the night before the big day wrapping up at stupid o'clock - I managed not to be doing that for Christmas, so I suppose I had to do it sometime lol. We had bought Little Prince an iPod Shuffle and pre-loaded it with music he loves, when he opened it he grinned and shouted "Look I've got a teeny iPhone!!" He also got a DS Lite, very kindly sent over from the USA by our Christmas visitor (thank you so much) - we did pay for it lol, we just couldn't get hold of the colour we wanted in time over here!!!

We had Little Prince's birthday party at weekend, at an indoor play centre. I love the fact that the children can run around (and hopefully tire themselves out!!) madly for an hour then get fed, and I don't have to worry about my ornaments or tidying up afterwards :-) Much better than having 20 mad 6 year olds invading our house for a couple of hours lol. My Sister, her hubby and 4 kids came over for the party and then came round to our house afterwards to play/chat. Mr Messy showed them the results of the photoshoot he did for them a few weeks ago, and I think they liked the photos :-) The kids got along great and Little Prince and his similar aged cousin really seemed to play well together :-) We had takeaway pizza together before they set off on their long drive home. It was great to see you all :-)
