It’s my birthday next weekend, but last weekend we celebrated with Nana, Aunty Shell, Uncle Michael and Aunty Linda. It was a great day, and everyone had lots of fun.
When we first arrived, the boys wanted to help Nana cook lunch. Below is three photos of Ethan cutting the cucumber. I love his facial expressions. The first shows such concentration and determination….
Ben chopping the salad too.

Then we had some fun kicking the ball in the garden
And we had a walk up to the local school which has some playground equipment.
hen we played the game Aunty Linda gave to Sal for her birthday. Wasn’t it nice of Aunty Linda to give me a game for ages 3-7!!!
It is a game like “Operation” but for younger kids. It’s called ‘Silly Surgery’. It is a plastic blow up patient on a bed. He has a hole in his belly and about 10 blow up toys inside. You pick a card, which as a picture of one of the objects…
Then you must put your arm into his belly and feel around until you find the item on the card.
Ta-da!
We had fun playing that game!!!
Boys and Uncle Michael play with Nana’s toys.
