Happy Birthday Danni! I hope you had a great day!

Ash - so sorry to hear about you and Dave. Sending big hugs your way.

Lulu - I think you should definitely put those messages on your answering machine. It would be hilarious. I hope Ned doesn't make you guys wait too long. I can't believe Izzy is running!!

Tan - how did the birthday party go?

Dan - wow, walking that is amazing! Soooo cute!

Julian's birthday party went really well. We were lucky with the weather it was originally going to rain but then ended up being a sunny 25 degrees (go figure!). Julian had a ball in the jumping castle as did the other kiddies. I surprised myself and actually enjoyed baking the cupcakes (I made lion, tiger and cat faces on them) and wrote Julian's name across other cupcakes. They were a hit. His cake was a number one with big bird on it. It was so nice to see the backyard transformed into a kiddie party space something I had always dreamed of that came into reality. Julian was very spoilt and got lots of toys and a basket of new clothes (definitely need those!). I have one tip for anyone doing parcel parcel, give the first one to the kid that is most likely to tantrum!!

Definitely one tired but satisfied mummy here!! Though my period came the morning after the party and now I feel crappy. Thankfully my mood swings are settling down as this is the 4th or 5th one now, they used to be terrible. We are off to our first baby playgroup today. I'm hoping it isn't too structured and I'm really not in the mood for singing songs!!(Does that make me a bad mummy) Ah well, should be good fun. Have a great day ladies!!
