The weekend with Mike's birthday

Hi,

Mike had a happy birthday yesterday!  Woot!  I hope his day was fun.  The weekend was pretty busy, with lots of activities.

Friday saw me try to get home early - but Ethan and Toby still beat me home.  And I don't think I was early in the end anyway.

Tessa and Zack got in a bit later with the genre and registration for the 48 hour film competition.  And it was all on!

Pizza sorted them out tonight.

Saturday dawned fairly damp and drizzly and stayed like that most of the day.  The intrepid filmakers were up early and ready to execute their script.  We made puke out of chickpeas, creamed corn and diced carrot.  Ethan was to be the one to take a mouthful and mimic the puking action.  He eyed the fake vomit with skepticism half expecting it to make him sick for real.

I drove them all to school around 10am for their day to start.  Back to Mike and our own day after that.  Laundry mountain to work through.  Books to read. 

La Cloche iced coffee was soooo good.  A dessert. But good.

Looking cute!

Back home around 1800 and we decided on Indian takeaways for the film makers.  Went to collect that.  Had a bit of spillage on the way back and wedged the food into a shopping bag - that seemed to work.

Next morning - gorgeous!  And Mike's birthday too!  The cats loved getting out on the deck.  I got Mike breakfast in bed and his presents.  Sleep shorts and pants - and new gym gear.

Happy birthday Mike!

We went out to the gym to celebrate and worked on upper body stuff.  Went to get a new litter tray for the cats.  Woot!  And then out to have lunch with Sally and Andrew.  Double woot!  Got an iced coffee from La Cloche.  Wow!  Like a dessert.  With walnuts.  Yum!

Back home after and cooked tea.  Dropped kids off all over Wellington.  Tessa and Zack to the school to drop off the USB stick with the finished film.  Zack home after that.

Apparently Monday 24 June @ 1730 at The Penthouse cinema in Brooklyn, we can see the film showing.  I want to go!

Have a great week ahead!

Love,
Angela
