WILL IS NOW 9!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR WILL,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Guess who had a birthday today and turned 9? Our big boy Will. He has been patiently waiting for this day for weeks, repeatedly telling us there are "X" number of days until my birthday. Now it has finally arrived. We had a leisurely breakfast (during which Aunty Shas rang to say happy birthday), did a short morning of school and then were going to head off to the water park in Ballina, but unfortunately the water slides aren't open during the week so we will go tomorrow instead. Will was OK with that, it meant he got to spend a couple of hours on his new "batman LEGO" PS2 game. After lunch the family (minus Deb) went for a swim. It was too cold for me, brrrrr! After tea we sang "happy birthday" as you will see on the video, and enjoyed a lovely chocolate mud birthday cake. All in all I think Will had a lovely day:).

FUN, FUN, FUN!!

Last week we went for a drive around Lismore to check out the sights. First we went to the airport, but being a Sunday there were no planes coming or going. Next we went to Bunnings, always fun to be had there, but alas we had no money to spend so that was also a short visit. Then we found a little park and stopped there for lunch. It had this cute little train which Chris and the kids went on (I volunteered to take the photos!). There were lots of little birthday parties going on around the place so we will come back one day during the week when it's a little quieter.

As you can see it was as much fun for Chris as it was for the kids!
