One VERY happy boy!

Well, it's Robert's 4th birthday on Thursday and we had decided that he wants a bicycle for it! So today was the big day for shopping for it! we didn't tell the boys where we were going just that we were going shopping! They got huge eyes when we got out of the car at a shop with JUST bicycles! Robert fell in love with the one right by the door, got it out and rode off. (it had stabilisers on it!)
It was however a fraction too big, so we had to convince him to try a different one with a bit smaller wheels on it! Luckily they brought out a yellow one (Robert's favourite colour) and it was a bit easier to get him off of the first bike.
We bought the yellow one, and a Bob The Builder flag to go on the back. Then we went and did the real shopping! Well, I did the shopping, Robert rode around and around the car park, and Richard chased him, whilst Florian watched out for cars for them!

Once home Robert phoned Nanna and Pop (who are now back from their wet holiday) and said thank you for his Birthday present (its from them - thanks again!), and "can I ride it now, Nanna?" Pop said he could, so he has been on it a LOT this afternoon.
As well as helping with more lawnmowing and weeding and playing football!

This evening we joined friends at the Chinese restaurant for a buffet meal! It was delicous. Robert and Richard love those prawn cracker things they have. And Robert loved the deep fried fish. Richard ate some of his and a lot of corn! And I had some of everything! this time I left room for the dessert (deep fried banana with honey), yummy!

Bye 4 now
