The rain had stopped overnight so I used
the opportunity to clean out the car and get a bit organized before we leave
tomorrow. The kids had a great morning climbing the tree across the road and
Tony bought them ice creams from the ice cream van. Tony and P went shopping
for tonight’s BBQ and Aunty L arrived in the early afternoon. The kids played
basketball and loom bands and watched TV and played in their cubby. In the
afternoon we did some baking, J helped me make some butterscotch cookies, and K
made some gluten free chocolate mud cake – one big cake and some cupcakes. The
girls decorated the cup cakes with pink and blue icing. The kids went foraging for flowers and greenery to decorate the tables with as well.
In the evening Poppy, D and D’s daughter L
arrived for a birthday BBQ – it’s Poppy’s birthday next Friday so it was a
great chance to celebrate with all his children in town for the weekend. It was
a fun family night, with great food. The cupcakes were Millie’s birthday cake –
its her birthday on Monday, so we sang happy birthday to her, then to LiAM (his
birthday is Monday week), and then Poppy. K and Aunty L bought Millie some
great craft activities for her birthday. After dinner the kids were planning
parties and made signs and even sold tickets for us to come to their party. We
wound down the night watching Ice Age 3 while Tony and P played darts. And
Millie, after waiting all week, finally got to sleep upstairs with the big
girls in J’s bed.
