Max's Birthday Party

The day after Max's birthday it was party time. Max had decided he wanted a factory party - so thats what he got. Dad had the factory cleaned and created a racetrack around the machines, hired a cherry picer and had forklift and truck rides.



Here are a few pics...

Jayden and tracey in the cherry picker

Everyone after the truck trip - the kids couldn't believe their was such a thing as a poo factory (the sewage works)

The cake with Max's favourite themes thomas the tank engine and cars the movie. There was far too much food (which Carle kindly distributed later) but there wasn't much cake left.

The kids all had an excellent afternoon though by all accounts everyone was pretty tired by the end of the day

Thanks everyone for coming to Max's party and for making it a fantastic day for me. Thanks also for Max's fabulous presents

Max's birthday

On Friday it was Max's birthday. He was up pretty early wanting to now whether or not it was the morning so that he could open his presents. Hannah was also very excited. Whilst he was excited about his racing car lego the biggest hit was the scalextric (spelling??). Daddy was even more excited as he had never had one as a child.

Simon wasn't the only one who was as excited as Max about the racing track thingy - the cats were mesmerized by the cars going around the track and just sat there with their heads following the cars movement. As ever Treacle took the opportunity to sit in the box. If there is a box about she just has to sit in it.

I sent him to school just so that I could get in some last minute shopping for the Party on the Saturday. I then went bac to his school for a little party. Here are a couple of photos

Here is Max doing his actions to 'Remember you're a womble' - this is the first time I've seen him do actions to a song. I was just so surprised by his willingness to participate without any shyness. I was very proud of him. He did it all with the same serious face he has in this photo which really maes my heart melt - he just stayed perfectly cool whilst mummy was jumping up and down with excitement.

And here is Max with his best school buddies Micheal, Liam and Jayden and Ben the Demon Driver. In the evening we went to Spur and had the mandatory singing of the Spur birthday song with sparklers....

Max had a ball...

And so did Hannah!
