K turns 5!
Kayla had her 5th birthday today - but really she's had an extended birthday over the last few days!
It started Friday morning, with her ears being pierced. They did both ears at the one time which I think is a great idea - over and done with! Kayla didn't cry, and barely flinched; she was very brave! Afterwards, because we were in a beauty salon, one of the girls sat her down, and painted Kayla's nails for her. Awww.
Later that afternoon Kayla had a McDonalds party. Apart from the room not being ready when we turned up, and that I felt I was more entertaining than the hostess, it was a nice time. I wanted to mention something to a manager, but didn't as the hostess is the sister of one of my daughter's best friends. I also get annoyed when people dont RSVP as requested on invitations, and 2 people didnt show.
Afterwards, we took a drive to Krispy Kreme and bought a couple of boxes of original donuts! Yum-o!
Saturday we drove to the city and took a stroll through Sydney Aquarium. Kayla was so impatient, and all she wanted to see were the sharks. As soon as we had seen them, which is near the end of the aquariums layout anyhow, she said her legs were sore, and then thats all we heard for a while! We walked down to the big play area at Darling Harbour and had some lunch. It's never a relaxing time when theres 2 adults and 3 kids going in different directions, but it was even harder when John went to get our lunch! I couldn't see all the kids and started feeling sick, wondering how they disappeared in 2 seconds! And it's the fear of someone else taking them, more than them falling down and scraping their knee that is worse.
Later, we took our time and walked down to Circular Quay, where we then caught a ferry back around to Darling Harbour. The weather was pituresque, and the kids for the most part were fab! Especially Kane! Nary a whinge out of him all day!
Today we had bacon and eggs off the barby which John cooked, and Poppy turned up just as we sat on the deck to eat. It was a lovely morning. Kayla received so many pressies over the last few days, even she couldn't believe it!
I made a paint palette for her cake, at Kayla's request. Here she is blowing out the candles with her 2 bro's.
John had to leave before lunch to start training for his job (which I can't disclose yet).
In the arvo we went to Colins for a yummy baked dinner!
And now I have just found out that Maria has accepted me to be a guest designer on her forum Blumar's - when it opens! That's pretty cool!
Whew!
