Birthday Party

Recently Kaydin celebrated his birthday.Because he is really into 'Ben10' (an animated series about a boy that can turn into aliens) we had a Space themed birthday. It went really well, Kaydin dressed all in green and then had his face painted green as well. we had fire alien, many 3 aliens with masks, 2 aliens with tinfoil head bits and a princess alien. Kaydin had great fun that day. The kids all glowing bracelets (like glowsticks but able to be put in a circle,a pack of 15 for $2) and they won spiders and lollipops in the pass the parcel. Kaydins cake was a spaceship which didn't work out aswell as i would have liked but the kids liked it, and they loved the green jelly!
Next year however i think Kaydin's dad can have a turn organising his birthday, although i have said that the past 2 yrs so imnot sure how likely that will happen :)

Moving House

I moved house recently and finally Kaydin and i have a house we can call OUR house. Kaydin is still calling it new house and probably will for a long time i think. We movedin with my grandma, Kaydin's great-grandma and so far it has ben just fantastic. We both get along so well and she has great patience with Kaydin which is a god send because sometimes he can be just too much. They bake bread together and have gardening plans,i even brought him his own little set of garden spade, fork etc. We both take turns at housework and cooking (although grandma does majority of cooking) but neither of us is at all worried if nothing gets done or takes a while. It is such a relaxing place to be (both of us are finacial better off being able to share costs) and i hope we are both here for the next 20-30 years even :)

The Other Ark

I read this quote today

"Plan ahead, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark." -Unknown

and it reminded me of the book "The Other Ark" by Lynley Dodd in which Noah didn't really plan ahead and when he asks his friend Sam Bambaloo to help things don't go according to his plan either.
It's a terrific book Kaydin loved it i had to read it every day for two weeks. With rhyming words, awesome pictures and creative creatures it really is wonderful. I would definately recommend it to anyone

My handsome tiger

I just found this photo of my son at his cousin Ollie's first birthday last year that i couldn't amke it to. Doesn't he make a gorgeous Tiger????
