What a day! Starting with a hangover was probably not the best way to get organised for 20 children coming for a drop off party however we made through with the help of copious coffee and panadol! The kids had a great time with a dinosour hunt, pass the parcel and statues and of course the bouncy castle which was a huge hit.
We had such a lovely day for Nick's birthday on Thursday. We started off feeding the ducks with Alex and Claudia then moved on to the zoo for a quick zoom around, then onto Kindy where I did Mothers help. We ended the day with Jenny over for dinner and chocolate cake... a fitting end to a big day! 
This little video is of Nick and his best friend Claudia having a game of fetch at the pool. These two love each other to bits and are inseparable at kindy. We heard today that Nick has had the call up to morning kindy in a couple of weeks, it will be a sad few days I'm sure for both while they sort out new alliences. Claudia isn't 4 till July... a lifetime when you are little!
The Lantern Festival celebrates the end of Chinese New Year, and what a brilliant event it was. The Lanterns were amazing and the street food... yum. Even Nick was tempted by the fried rice and chicken skewers. It was our friend Richard's birthday so a cake was a great way to end the evening.
We are so lucky to have a pool in our local park and have been there most days over the summer. The boys are hanging out with our neighbours Caspian and Jack. Jack's dad was kind (or silly) enough to start up a chain which at one point had most of the pool following along behind.
Yes thats right no traing wheels anymore. Only one attempt needed and he was off like a rocket.
We visited friends staying at the island and had the most fantastic day at the beach with them.
Well what can I say... 8 days without trantrams, early wakeups, kids dinners... bliss! We had a great holiday, visited markets, walks along the beach, cocktails round the pool at lunch, beautiful spa treatments and generally enjoyed hanging out together. 
when the pool water is bath hot!
