Pool Party
A friend had a water camera at Ethan's party and got a couple of good shots. The baby in the background is Daniel - the ears are distinctive!

Ethan turns 5
Ethan's first question on turning 5 was to ask whether his legs are longer today. He was convinced he would be instantly taller when he turned 5. He ahs grown about 5 cm in the last 6 months, but unfortunately no noticeable difference overnight!
We had his party on Sunday at the local primary school pool. Great fun was had by all - that is 33 kids and about 20 adults. They were fed on chips (crisps for us Brits) and pre-cooked sausages on the school barbie. Ethan loved it but was first out of the pool as he was rather focused on the huge pile of presents! Lots of lego and guns. Every boy's dream.
Then today came the last day at kindy. They make a lovely fuss of the kids on their birthday and get them to sit at the front and talk about their favourite pictures from their portfolio book. He spoke really clearly to the whole group about his favourite games, and the hangi, the kindy disco where he dressed up as the black spiderman and everyone thought he was the real spiderman. Then there was the time he dressed up as a dragon and "chased away the females". His teacher was talking him up about how he knows so much stuff and she sometimes asks him when she doesn't know something. His parting remark to the whole assembled room of kids and parents was "i know about everything." Classic. Definitely ready for school. Mummy managed not to cry at kindy today but tomorrow's another day!

My Birthday
My birthday began with pancakes on the deck. It was a beautifully clear night which at this time of year means cold - and a fresh morning. It brigthened up into a beautiful day mind you.
The kids decided to dress up for the party.
Ian has this party organisation sorted. One friend rang up to find out what to bring and he suggested cake, to which she replied "what, the birthday cake?" - "oh that would be lovely says Ian" - and she brings a beautiful cake decorated with white chocolate, strawberries and real orchids. Another friend asked whether she should bring salad or bread and was told to bring an amp and speakers!
