63 and a Birthday Girl

Posted on

My Fun Run results were published in the newspaper last Thursday and I was delighted to see that my official time was 1:03:19. Well under my desired time to beat of 65 minutes. Needless to say I am proud as punch and ready to go again next year.

Today is Amy’s 2nd Birthday. Can you believe that? I can’t quite really, but there you go! Tania reckons she has 4th child syndrome because we didn’t get her anything – but I ask you what more does a 2 yr old want or need that 3 big sisters and doting parents can’t provide? She just wants some cuddles and a candle to blow out and she is happy as Larry.

We went along to playgroup and I made butterfly cakes, so we sang Happy Birthday and all enjoyed a yummy cake. Holly told me they were the most delicious things she’s ever tasted (mind you she was taste testing at 8am before she’d even had breakfast, so her taste buds were bursting!).

Here are a few pics of the birthday girl.

She is talking so much now it is just a delight. We can make her say the funniest things. She loves her sisters and just hanging out with them. She is still taking off her clothes at night time or whenever we put her into bed for a nap. She just doesn’t seem to like clothes! The other night I asked Justin to check on her before we went to bed, to make sure her pj.s were still on. He came into me and said “Do you mean these clothes?” holding up her bunny suit. Ahh, that little imp Amy!!

Happy Birthday Little Angel. Can’t imagine life without you. xxxx

PS Just got a call from the school inviting me to Assembly on Friday as Meg will be receiving the Quiet Achiever Award for Kindergarten this term. I remember Holly getting it this same time as I raced home from Hospital after having Amy to get to the assembly. Well done Meggie, my clever girl!

PPS – we got 4 more chickens (Names are IceCream, Henny, Charli and Gregory Peck) so come Christmas time I might have a stall at the front of the house selling free range eggs for $4 a dozen!
