Birthday

Two birthdays in the Jones household. I had the pleasure of turning 31 on Monday and beautiful little LGR turned 4 on Wednesday.

My birthday was good - nice and mellow. The morning was a bit hectic. I had to get the car rego checked and some new tires put on it. We also had to take LGR to the doctors to get some medicine for his eyes. Eye drops. He hates them and we hate putting them in.

Once all this was out of the way we made our way out and about and found a nice park by a river and played some games. LGR and I went for a little bit of a run and Hayzey babbled endlessly about whatever took her fancy.

Lunch was next. We went to a fantastic pizza/pasta place. LGR ate 4 slices of pizza!! He said he liked it. Hayzey ate almost nothing but had a ball jumping up and down on the seats of the booth we were in. She also thought it was great to sit on the table and jump on Mummy.

The afternoon consisted of more games in more parks and some jumping on the trampoline.

Very mellow and very nice.

LGR's birthday was even more low key. Mrs G and myself had to work and the kids went to kindy. We packed a cake for them to take along and that was consumed at kindy with the other kids and happy birthday sung.

When we finally all managed to get home we ordered some dinner (LGR wanted honey prawns) and opened some pressies. Unfortunately it all got rather late and the kids (particularly Hayzey) got very tired and irritable. LGR was highly impressed that every time the phone rang the call was for him :-)
