Happy birthday to you!!!




Last Monday was Nick's 30th birthday. We were lucky enough to have him at home on the day so we enjoyed a nice family day.

We started off the day Ollie giving Nick lovely kisses, followed by a beautiful card that Ollie got made (describing how much fun he has with his daddy and enjoys playing cups with him).

Later in the day we ducked out to get the finishing touches for our costumes for Nick's birthday party and to have some lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Luckily the restaurant wasn't busy but the waitress still managed to steer us toward a table well away from any of the other diners. Ollie sat in a highchair and had his lunch of pumpkin before our food came out. This was the first time we had done this so we were pretty impressed. Unfortunately it wasn't a long lingering lunch with Ollie getting the squeals as soon as he became bored with the stash of toys I'd brought along to distract him.
The real birthday celebrations took place on Saturday night with Nick's 90's themed party in town. As kickoff for the night was well past Ollie's bedtime, we were lucky that Nanna Freddy was in town to look after him for us. He was on his best behaviour and didn't give her any grief (unlike the last time she looked after him back in June). This allowed us to kick up our heels and have an absolute cracker of a night. Check out the pic of us before we headed off. Nick looks totally stylish in the pants that I made for him (real love is sewing your husband MC Hammer pants) and I'm looking totally tragic in my spice girls wannabe outfit. Talk about responsible grown ups!!!

Food, friends and footy.

This week Ollie and I had a special visitor all the way from Cloncurry - our friend Jesse. Jesse came to play at Camp Ollie for a few hours while his mum had some very well deserved shopping time. Ollie and Jesse played lots of fun games like cups and Jesse was very helpful to me during the afternoon. Another exciting event this week was Nick and my third wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went to the lovely E'cco restaurant on Saturday night, thanks to Aunty Em who stayed over at our place to look after Ollie. Thankfully Ollie was on his best behaviour, as opposed to some of the other nights recently that have seen me popping into his room a number of times in the early hours of the morning. Ollie got to see his Aunty Em again the next day when we went over to the McNaughton/Dower home to celebrate Aunty Hayley's birthday and to catch up with Uncle Luke. Hayley cooked the wonderful family birthday tradition of Flat Meat (hard to describe but kind of like a thinner sc...

Movieworld!

I told you last week that we had been busy having lots of fun around here and another of our fun activities (this time while Nanna Freddy was here) was a trip to Movieworld. But as I'm currently heat pressing fifty odd t-shirts for this weekend's big market, I am only able to make it to the computer in 40 second stints.  It isn't that I'm worried about scorching the shirts, but the heat press has this dreadful tinky asian sounding song as the alarm on the timer and it really grates on my soul!  And as I'm sure you can agree that there isn't a whole lot I can write in the time it takes me to run between the computer and the press (this paragraph has taken me five t-shirts!), this blog is going to be mainly pictures. Ol loved the characters. But not as much as the rides.  He went on about 16.  Seriously. He wasn't a fan of the car driving ones as he just couldn't make them work properly.  His dodgem effort was basically just driving aro...

HE’S OFF

Friends of ours have two kids who are a few years older than Obear so we’ve been to a few birthday parties at their place over the years.  Twice a year we get to catch up with their various friends and have seen many of them pregnant, with babies and now with bigger kids.  It is amazing to see them all grow up.  This time last year we rocked out there with our tiny three week old baby who Nick held protectively throughout the party.  This year he was walking around by himself and even managed a small level of involvement in pass the parcel.  By the next party in November he will no doubt be tearing around and in years to come he can really get into the festivities with the bigger kids and hopefully look out for his younger sibling. It was while we were at the party today that I noticed something new in Ollie’s mouth – two top teeth!  Finally the two front teeth are starting to cut through.  I must concede that I was starting to wonder if he was de...
