All better

It's been a strange old week - not just for us but for lots of friends, with dramas in every direction - but the sun was out today and a pure blue sky just made everything feel so much better! Frank was really sick with a tummy bug until last night and has been a brave wee fella. John, our lovely Greek neighbour was out and about again today after a big operation, checking that everything on the street was in order. It was just one of those everything's-as-it-should-be days. No need for captions, I don't reckon.

PS Thank you letters are ready to post tomorrow! Anybody want to see more photos of the party?

THRRRREEEEEEEEE!!

Yup - thats right he is well and truly a three year old now. Too big for the trainer toilet seat, too big for nappies, too big for being to what to do sometimes and sometimes a bit big for his boots!

But what a cutie - so he gets away with it. Was Frank's birthday last week - we celebrated by Libby being sick and me taking most of the day off work to look after the boys before heading out to Island Bay for a play on th big slide and fish and chips for dinner with G'Marg and Pappy.

Frank had a great day and thanks to everyone for the cards and presents.

Then yesterdayhe had his party proper - a dinosaur one. He had been talking about it all week and a bit confused I think about why he had already had a birthday, yet no party or had to wait for the party, or where were his friends??? Very confusing in any case. Was well worth the wait though as Wellington weather got one out of the box for us and everyone came and PLAYED (oh - and ate, and had a couple of beers too...)

Libby made a magic Dino cake - which narrowly made it to the party aoinding being eaten along the way by young Arthur.

mmmmm....

Peeps having fun in the sun

Lets take a closer look...Isla really was the BOSS - herding a small tribe of children into game after game - according to her rules.
Evidence of a good time
So - thanks, no THANKS!! To everyone for making Frank's birthday so special - he really had a great time. Personally, my head was a bit sore today, o I was trying to forget about the party but Frank was still raving about it, all his friends that had come, the games they played and the presents people generously brought.

So, from Frank:
