Lest we forget...

That it's my birthday today!!!! Yipeee!!!! We actually celebrated my birthday yesterday with a small party at mums house.

Look at the fab cake my sister made for me. My own sewing machine cake, complete with bright pink pin cushion. The design is based on one from the Woman's Weekly cake book.

There does appear to be a few extra nobs and buttons on it. Maybe this is a better model with more features than my machine. Husband thought it was a Kitchen Aid cake.

Happy family!

The gathering at mums was extra fun for the kids, as they got to enjoy the evening playing in the empty cardboard box.

Earlier yesterday, the kids got their choccies and began eating straight away.

Then we headed to the Family Show at Fox Studios.

Happy kid.

Happy kid.

Sad kid.

Don't be fooled by his smile, this ride was terrible. Round and round and round and round for about 5 mins - ugg!

It made me regret those few wines over dinner the night before. (Look at the difference in photography skills. This is why I use an auto timer to take sewing photos.)

Hope you are all enjoying your super long weekend. My husband is getting a leave pass to go down to the local RSL for two-up at lunch time, then a few friends will join us for a BBQ tonight. I can't believe we still get another day off!

Note: Sorry - I'm not wanting to offend. Today is ANZAC day, so we do take the time to remember all those who've fought for our country. It's not all about me.
