Oliver's Birthday Dinner

We all went to the Frankston RSL to celebrate Oliver's 14th birthday as a family, Kirraly came with us also.

It was a nice relaxed evening... I am sure that we all enjoyed ourselves.

Oliver's School Camp

Ollie went off to camp on Tuesday and returned tonight.  He said he had a ball.  Camping at Wilsons' Promontory with about 20 other kids studying outdoor education.

They hiked, had outdoor cinemas, surfed and even had to cook all their meals for themselves.  Ollie was in charge of cooking dinner for the first night for his group (there was 4 of them) so we armed him with mince, pasta, and pasta sauce all the ingredients for a quick spaghetti bolognaise.  Apparantly it went down a treat.  A lot nicer, he said, than the Easy Mac someone else brought for dinner on night 2.

I could tell last night that although he had a good time that he was exhausted, in need of a good shower and looking forward to sleeping in his bed.....

Ah ..... the joys of school camp!!

Alex's 11 th birthday

Today our little princess turned 11.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX xxxx

She had a huge night last night with her birthday party and having 3 of her friends sleeping over.  We waited until her friends left to give her our presents as as you can tell she was impressed with her new TV with built in DVD player from us.

To celebrate her birthday the Murray family went to our favourite Indian Restaurant, Kasturi, in Frankston.  The meal as usual was brilliant and Alex enjoyed being surround and spoiled by the family.

It was a big weekend for all of us, especially Alex - she was exhausted.

Alex's birthday party.......

What a huge day yesterday was......

2pm Alex's friends arrived for a surprise event in the afternoon and then a sleepover.  As you can imagine it was an afternoon full of giggling girls.

The party table is set and cake is made .....

Once the girls arrived we had some lunch and then it was off on our big surprise..... the girls didn't know but we had organised tickets to see Stardust Circus.

No photo's from the circus due to "no photography allowed" but everyone enjoyed the show including Ollie, Noel and myself.  The acts were really good including the lions, the poinies and the clowns.  Afterwards it was back home for the requested dinner of fish and chips.

They were full after dinner so the cake would have to be done in the morning.  That didnt' stop them from having the usual and required sleepover pillow fight though......

Lots of giggles..... and giggles.... and giggles...... they fell asleep at 3.30am and that was only when I went into the loungeroom to tell them to go to sleep!!

Breakfast of lemonade pancakes with all the trimmings...

Then we sang Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!!!!
