We’ve had two birthdays in the past few weeks. Penelopes first birthday was a bit of a non event. We went to Applebees for dinner and she got some lovely pressies, but no big party. We had Joe’s 5th birthday party with a Star Wars theme. Also Mum and Dad have been here for the past 6 weeks for a lovely long visit.
Penelopes first birthday dress

Joe has decided he wants his birthday party at “Chuckle Cheeses” (Chuckie Cheese) and that Ali & I are not invited because he’s “not our friend” and sometimes he “hates us”. When asked how he will get there, he will parachute. From his house that he lives in by himself. A house with no doors or windows. How will he buy it? He has 4 quarters and that’s enough.
Swear to God. “I need that”.
Ali was playing with a toy that P wanted. She held out her hand and said “I need that”.
We “did” halloween properly for the first time this year. We didn’t bother dressing P up but Joe went as batman . We went down one block of Dean St and got enough lollies and choc for at least a week. Heres some pics of that and a trip to the orchard and more. Ali got a new lense for his camera and the pics are really good.
