Party! Party!

This weekend was one long party beginning on Friday night with a 40th birthday for Scott from our condo. We all had to dress up as something beginning with "S". Matt and I went all out and donned soccer t-shirts. It was a fun night where we got to mingle with she-devils, superman, saints, sheiks, strawberry shortcake and a sleepwalker. Matt and I stayed late - not because we are die-hard party animals but because our bedroom is close to the function room at the condo and we wouldn't have been able to get to sleep anyway.

The next day Alice and I went to a party for a boy in her class which included about 20 eight years olds running around in a form of organised chaos. In between ice-cube fights, water fights and all-out brawls there were only a handful of tears. Someone made the comment that a sign of a good party is when nobody goes to hospital - so I guess that made it a good party...

Then on Sunday Felicity celebrated her 7th birthday. Her friend Eleanor slept over on Saturday night and then we went to a musical called "Duck'n'Dive" in the morning which was lots of fun. In the evening we invited a few neighbours over for cake. Thanks to all those who emailed or skyped on the day and to all those wonderful, organised people who sent presents ahead of time. She was thrilled to see the big pile, loved everything she received and kept saying how lucky she was. She will email you soon to say thanks personally.
