Will's new Sunday Best.
Hana's first school report - on Ponies.
Lane's Pink and Red Birthday Party.
Damian knew today was halloween, but all he knew was that other kids might come around and ask for treats. Then at 5pm tonight the neighbours asked if Damian would like to come trick or treating with them. That gave me 20 minutes to come up with a costume. This was the best I could do. I made a quick hat out of cardboard and then got a pillow case and stuck stars on it and tied it around his neck with a bat (which was a peg) that we had made during the week. Mum had bought him the treats bag and I gave him the broom and he was set. It was a bit pathetic but it was all I could think of.
Sam, mum and dad loved the quilt, it was fantastic
Mum and dad cut their cake. I put the original cake topper on from mum and dad's wedding cake.

I just put the picture below in so you could see some of the decorations. I had 10 lanterns around the backyard and from each lantern I hung a stream of 5 gold hearts. Each heart had a year of their marriage with something that happened that year. It was so windy that the gold hearts got tangled up with the lanterns. I was just grateful that the dust storms we have been having had cleared for the party.
All the boys liked the look of the construction site cake. They were all wanting to play with the trucks and crane.
We had an excavation game where we buried lots of toys and chocolates in the big sandpit. All the children were given a tool box and hard hat and had to be diggers and dig out the prizes.
The back of the dump truck is full of chocolate crackle rocks. I think Damian ate most of them.
