B's 6th Birthday Bash

Last weekend we headed off to the big smoke for B's 6th birthday party. She had decided she would like to have a pool party (perhaps because she had so much fun at Elliott's pool party?!). We arrived at Lisa, James, Bianca and Abi's place on Saturday morning, just in time to have a quick cuppa, before heading off to the pool.

The girls were sure happy to see Elliott (and he was happy to see them too). There is never a shortage of hugs and kisses when the three of them are together.

Elliott borrowed Abi's swimming vest ... looks like he wasn't impressed by being dressed in pink

At the pool Elliott was quickly out-numbered by 5 and 6 year old girls (lucky him!). The girls all went off for their party swim (and obviously had so much fun that we didn't get to take any photos of B in the pool!!). Elliott, Abi, James, Kel and Brett also had a swim in the (very fun) pool ... whirlpools, duck and lobster fountains, waves, you name it, it was there! After a big swim everyone had a party lunch. Elliott very much enjoyed his few chippies (and Fanta, thanks very much James!). Eventually the fun became a little too much for the little man so he and Brett went for a walk and watched some Badminton ... which Elliott loved! Couldn't take his eyes off the game!

That evening we all went out for a nice meal (thanks James) and Aunty Bub (aka Kimberley) joined us, which was lovely. Again, we have no photos of this, which is a real shame. After a very big day Elliott went off to sleep without any dramas (but did wake up the house at 4:00am ). This would have been a bit of a bummer for everyone else, but actually quite nice for us as Elliott came into our bed and for the first time ever fell back to sleep with us until 7am... good boy!

Thanks for inviting us to your party B, we had a really fun time!

Peekaboo 2

You may remember a while ago that one of Elliott's favourite games was "Peekaboo" under the blanket/ wrap (people may also remember a video of Brett playing this game with Elliott!). Well, he may have graduated from the wrap but Elliott is still a big fan of "Peekaboo". Nowadays he hides behind a chair, or behind your back while you're sitting on the floor, and peeks out with a "Surprise!!" look on his face. He loves it!

Mother's Day 2008

What a fantastic Mother's Day it was this year ... It wasn't Kel's first Mother's Day, but it was certainly the first one that Elliott had a bigger part to play in (he was only weeks old for the last one). It started out with a lovely lie in (around 7am, which is actually very normal, Yay!) then some opening of presents (jewellery and a new thumb drive - no ordinary thumb drive ... this one has Elliott on it!). We headed off to Vacy in the morning for a nice lunch with Kel's family and made it home by early afternoon to spend some time in the garden ... perfect!!
