Guess Who's Having a Birthday!

Can you believe she is nearly 4?

Molly's actual birthday is June 19 but we will be having her party the Saturday after. It will be a My Little Pony Themed party and she is pretty excited about it all.
We give out the invitations at preschool tomorrow.

Changing Attitude

Max has changed so much in the last month or so. He is growing up so quickly now that I am afraid to blink. He is talking more and really loves to engage us in games. It is just delightful to watch his cheeky personality unfold.

A recent development is that Max no longer runs away from the camera. He now smiles when he sees me take it out.

He even pulls funny faces!!

You might just notice a whole lot more photos of Max looking at the camera instead of the side and rear views you are used to. Stay tuned!

More Fun in the park

We have a park right across the street from us and now that the kids are getting older we are spending a lot more time there. These sunny Autumn afternoons are perfect for getting out and enjoying the sunshine.

It's also great when friends come to visit!

Making His Own Fun

When the big kids won't let you join in, it's time to make your own fun.

It's always good to have a partner in crime.

Wishing He Was Bigger

What's everyone doing up there?

Can I join in?

Hey! I'm talkin' to you!

Wish I was bigger!

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
I think I'll go eat worms.

Born to Ride

Molly has become a very keen cyclist and regularly rides 5km around our estate.

Faces of Molly

Molly was showing me some different emotions so I could take her photo.

First Ever Icecream Cone

Max has missed out on the joys of icecream thanks to his dairy allergy...........

that is until now!

Armed with soy icecream and dairy free cones we let him loose

A little suspicious at first

Proceeding with caution

And away we go!

We now have a big fan of soy icecream.

Happy Birthday Max - Round Three - Cake

Due to Max's allergies this chocolate cake was dairy and egg free. I covered it in his two favourite things, Thomas and marshmallows.

Max was pretty impressed with the way it looked and stole marshmallows at every opportunity

but when the cake eating time arrived he was not at all interested.

It was all about the new Percy train his Aunty Judy gave him, complete with sounds and lights.

Happy Birthday Max - Round Two - Trains

We took M&M to The Train Shed at Luddenham to ride Thomas and Friends.

Waiting for Thomas

Are we having fun yet?

Riding on Percy was the highlight of Max's day.
