Birthday weekend

ThingTwo effectively had two birthday weekends. We visited my mum the weekend before her birthday, and she had a cake there, and gifts from my mum and sister. Then Anne's sister and her partner visited last weekend and we had more cake and more presents. These kids' birthdays are mainly for the benefit of the grown ups and their tummies.

ThingTwo even managed to blow out the candles on this second cake. I think ThingOne was a bit miffed at that as she was hoping to help out there. Having hit two, the younger one seems to be attempting to grab some of the spotlight the elder has been hogging for the last two years. ThingOne's enjoying this more-bolshy younger sister so far. I wonder if there'll be territorial issues later...

My GOd, I look exhausted! Are these on FB too?

Don't fret - you can legitimately invoke the "I was woken at 6.45am by singing, shoulting kids" defence.

I don't think the photos are on FB, but the post is in my profile as a "note". I can tag you in that if you like.

Are you saying you do want it in FB or you don't?

I do, Mark doesn't. Make of that what you will!

I'll leave you to tag yourself if you want to then.
