Hot Weekend

Wow it was a stinker here in the ACT over the weekend. I think it was everywhere 🙂

Holly’s party was a great success. She is now officially 5 years old! The jumping caslte was great, but the red faces of the kids as they came off suggested that 36 degrees + small comfined space with high energy jumping is probably not a great combination. Nonetheless, it was lots of fun.

Justin scolded me for even suggesting that the party would not have other games, so he raced out on Saturday morning for pass-the-parcel prizes. Here is a pic of the kids holding up what they got…

Holly’s cake was a great acheivement for me – a Pinata cake. A cake underneath a dome of chocolate. Holly had to smash the chocolate dome (with my Makin’ Memories Hammer) to reveal the cake and smarties and lollies spilled out. Awesome. This is her having a bash at it.

In the 20 years that I have known Rach, she has never been one for having her photo taken – I know, so gorgeous and yet so shy!!! Here is one of her and I that Justin took that doesn’t have Rach’s hand over the lens, or one of the back of her head, or giving the bird!! LOL 😉 Aren’t we GORGEOUS with that sheen of sweat over our faces from being so dam hot!!!

I guess the best news of the weekend is that we finally bought a new TV. Our current one has been Black and White/tunnel vision for the past 9 weeks and driving us insane. Justin has been researching the topic of Plasma’s like he has been studying for a major exam and last night pressed the BUY button for one on Ebay. Can’t wait to get a look at it – 2 to 10 working days. Hurry up!
