Grrr naughty Brandon! I hope you found him, Trish!

Fi - LOL @ you being sick of people admiring Jenna's hair. It is her most distinguishing feature! I reckon you'll be getting comments about it for the rest of hef life I understand what you mean tho... I got tired of people talking about Gabby's chubby cheeks when she was littler (they're not so chubby now). It was all anyone wanted to talk about... "Look at those cheeks!". Arrgh!

BBQ went alright. Everyone was a little too polite and awkward but it wasn't too bad. I made enough food to feed the 5000 and people hardly ate anything!! OMG! Luckily Neil's brother stayed the night so we fired the bbq back up and ate some more later. There were even kebabs left - who ever heard of leftover kebabs?? That never happens.
Everyone was talking about how each of the couples met - some had really interesting stories. Then it came to how Neil and I met... I told them we met online and that went down like a led balloon. Everyone went silent. OMG... it's not like it's the most unheard of way to meet! I got a bit ****ed off about that. I would have preferred if someone at least laughed or something.
Gab had a great time playing with the kids... the ages ranged from 2-9. The two older boys took it upon themselves to throw all the old branches and loose sticks onto the fire so they cleaned up our yard for us! They even raked up leaves! Brilliant!
The littler kids chased eachother around on bikes - Gabby even helped push one of the bigger kids on a bike and thought it was hilarious. Not bad considering she yelled at them all when they first got here because they were playing with HER toys
I told everyone how Gab likes to go to the pond and say hi to the "fissys". I just got thru saying how it'll be the one time I turn my back for a second and she'd fall in when... you guessed it, she fell in! Arrgh! One of the ladies "fished" her out (only her bottom half got wet) and Gab chucked the biggest tanty. I think she was more p!ssed off that she fell in rather than frightened. I took her inside and changed her while she threw a tanty because she wanted to be outside. Bloody hell!
I ended up going to bed by 10:30pm because I was so tired. The drinks weren't going down all that well so I didn't get too drunk. Neil got up and hurled this morning tho. He is trying to tell me it was the kebabs but I am fine... and his bro and GF haven't gotten up to spew.... so I think Neil just had too much to drink
