Today was my Mums birthday. She phoned us so that we could wish her a happy birthday and then told us that she’d got a kitten. The kitten thing has been flitting between maybes and definately nots for ages.
We wrapped presents, signed cards, packed spare clothes and went to Mums to find SIL and Cousin F there already. We gave our present and the cards that we’d made and admired the kitten before heading off for Nanas where SIL provided a cake and candles and we all sung Happy Birthday and ate chocolate cake. It felt odd that Cousin C couldn’t be there as well (he was at school) but he got chance to be there after school.
After a quick snack and change of top for Master R we got a lift to another birthday party, this time for a boy turning five. There was lots of playing between lots of children and lots of chatter between the adults. Both the R’s had their face painted and it was interesting to watch Master R talking to some of the other children. Ms R was happy to see a special friend. There was party food that was both healthy and yummy.
It was dark by the time we got home and Ms R was sad that she’d lost a pencil from her party bag.
