Hi,
Happy birthday to wee Toby for tomorrow (and tonight - how does he get three parties???). Yesterday was our big work Christmas party and it was very good. Mike was pleased to get to use my two free drinks voucher and bring me the free lemonades. It was getting to 5pm and Mike was saying he'd kick on for another 2 hours when Dad rang and told me Ma needed me. Turns out our neighbour had driven out of her driveway and into Mum and Dad's car. The two doors on the driver's side are pushed in a bit. The driver's door doesn't actually open anymore. But Mum was ok and Toby was ok about it all. Neither of them were in the car at the time.
Anyhow, it meant Mike came home with me. But we ate a yummy meal Mum cooked and we got stuck into the cake making in a big way. We have done the loot bags and the cake is 99% done and looks fantastic. Stay tuned for a photo of it in a day or two. Now we just need everything to go without a hitch and it'll all be over. Tonight is family event number 1, featuring the Lewises and the Gilbert/Bichans. Mike is keen on Indian takeways. I have tennis club duties, but the state of the current weather in Wellington may make that committment moot.
Then tomorrow is swimming and straight to the venue for friends event number 2. We are there from 11.30am to about 2pm with the tent booked from 12- 1pm. After this, we'll be heading home with 6 other children to stay for a sleepover. Toby has chosen the DVD they will watch (Space Chimps) and I am hoping they will all sleep in sleeping bags on the floor of the lounge.
Dinner will be family event number 3, with my parents and Mike's mother (who turns up at 1630). We need to feed the masses, so I am envisaging cheerios, sausage rolls, party pies and a fruit platter.
Phew! Fingers crossed this goes well.
Have a great weekend. Stay dry if you're in Wellington!
Love,
Angela
