I didn't get chance to blog last night about the party, so its a double post today.
I had a slight case of the nerves right before the party, when as we were trying to get everything ready on time, the boys decided in an unwatched moment to empty all the jigsaws they own (and they own A LOT!) out! That didn't help at all! But we were all finished in time for the party, and it went really well! We had a lovely time with lots of our friends. The most surprising thing of the day was how well the kids got on together, they all played all afternoon without screaming or arguing! We were all very impressed!
We got lots of nice presents. I got a scanner! Ooh my digital hobby is expanding, expect some layouts with older photos soon, the ones that I only have on film! I got a great cookery book (Jamie at home (Jamie Oliver that is)) an oven dish, books on the town we will be moving too (someday) and tickets to the cinema. Mum is probably going to be here next week, so if Florian gets home in time, we will be going to see "Indiana Jones"! I hope so, i am already excited!
But the best present really was to have all the friends and family around. We had some good old natter, great laughs and good food.
As we started the party early (noon) the last guests left at about 8pm and we were finished with the tidying up by 9pm. I was so looking forward to sitting down and looking at all the books and scanner and such, but the weather had other plans for me. There was a thunderstorm, and Robert does NOT like them. He gets so frightened. So I spent the next 2 hours going up and downstairs, everytime the thunder boomed. And once that had finished, he decided he would have earache! What an evening! Still from 1am to 6.30am they did both sleep, and so did I!
Today we had a very relaxed day in the garden. It was great. We put our bench somewhere different in the garden to sit today, and it made such a change. It was fun! Just like with photos, changing your perspective can make a difference! (for Mum, we put it just below the greenhouse next to Miffy!)
We had tea in the garden, the boys on the picnic blanket, they thought that was great. And it did their appetite good!
I got some good pictures of them playing today. Didn't get any of the cute bit though. Both of them went and sat in Miffy's run (that's one of our rabbits) and Miffy normally very shy, actually played with them. They had taken a couple of diggers and tractors in with them. And Miffy sniffed them, picked them up and moved them around (the diggers not the kids). It was so cute to watch, that first I forgot to take pics, and then Miffy went under her hutch to play, so we couldn't get a decent picture.
Both are once again in bed, and I am praying that tonight there won't be a storm, so I can sit and relax some more!
Bye 4 now
