George I am your father

Matt made this very cool T-shirt for George for his birthday!

L O V E

I just love love love my little George! He's such a funny, insightful and clever little boy. He keeps asking about everything he sees and really savours the answers!

This evening, before Billy Finn's bath, he asked if he could remove his nappy. Of course, I said. A minute later, I heard him chatting and giggling with Billy, and looked to see him trying to put a new nappy on his brother! Sweetest thing ever! "oooh Billy, put your legs down, I can't do it if you don't... Billy! Lift your bum please!" Ha ha, had to call Matt to come up from downstairs to have a look. My heart spilled over when watching them!

We have a 4-year-old!

So, on the 25 October it was finally time for George's REAL birthday.... I got up extra early, but of course he heard me, so before he came down, I went upstairs and asked him to go into our bedroom and give dad a morning cuddle and wait for us. Woke up farmor and Chris and up the stairs we went, a small cupcake with four proud candles in hand!

And then it was time for more presents... He's got Lego and Star Wars products coming out of his ears, but he's a happy chappy!

Mask mayhem!

So, after having made George a superhero mask, I thought it would be nice to make one for all of the kids at the party... Took some time, but I had great fun doing it! George had to try them all on of course.

George's 4 year Birthday Party!

Sunday the 23 October, it was time for G's 4 year birthday party! He was sooo excited! I'd made him a SuperGeorge outfit which he wore from 10 in the morning until the party started at 12, and then the whole day and evening (and day after, on the bus and in town...). Let me just say it kind of made me feel like a very good mum, having managed to get it so right for once!

There were, in total, six kids who couldn't make George's party, so instead of 13 crazy kids, there were only 7. Which was more than enough... One could say, the puke flu saved the day...

Everyone got a face mask as they arrived (pics in the next post), and shortly after 12, they all sat down for mini pizzas and some balloon sticker fun. After that, they played (or, should I say, went berserk) upstairs, finding good use of George's dressing up box (my best 100 kr spent, ever, remember!). Then it was time for cupcakes and cookies and 'Dance stop' game! George started to cry when he was out, bless the birthday boy! Oh, and somewhere in the madness, little Olivia arrived. Shy at first, but seated next to G at the table, she soon ate as much as the boys and made use of the more girly outfits in the dressing up box...

We ended the party with a treasure hunt (must add a note about Matt and Andie laying out the course - hiding the sweetie bags next to a pile of spiky planks! Very child friendly don't you think...), following lost items and gold coins to the sweet treasure!

And not a minute too late, it was time for the parents to come and pick the kids up! Everyone happy and perfectly sugar high!

Two hours later, it was back in the saddle for the family party! Best present must have been from morfar Ralph who bought George a remote controlled helicopter, suitable for ages 14+... Needless to say George LOVED it, so did his dad... Wine, chilli, coffee and a cake larger than life... A VERY nice birthday party day indeed!

Thank you to everyone for coming, and all the great presents, George was so excited!

Oh, and loads of pics... my new styley with larger images only works if I upload very few images per post... annoying, but some will have to be larger, some smaller and when I have time, I'll make some collages!

New styley!

I've changed the look of the blog! And FINALLY managed to make the images bigger! One day, when I'm really really really bored, I will try to go through some of the older posts aswell, to change the sizes of the images there, but that will most likely not happen this year...
