Birthdays

Lizzie turned five today!! She has been counting down since June. We were going to have it at the park but it has been so rainy that we changed it to home,which turned out ok :) All the kids had a great time and it was nice to catch up with friends as well :) My mum came down for my older brothers wedding and stayed for Lizzie's party and then Edmund and Jayne went home with her for school holidays, they were so excited to go to grandmas house, Lizzie was upset because she wanted to go but then i reminded her she had to go to the dentist tomorrow and then she was all happy again :)Lizzie has been so excited she is five and is telling everyone she meets. Happy Birthday sweetie!!

Date night

Mr Knightly and I went out for a date night last night with Edward and Elinor. We went to Elio's an Italian resturaunt, they have very yummy food! We had lots of fun catching up and having lots of laughs as usual. I was telling Elinor about my blog and how every one has an alias when Mr Knightly pipes up that his name is "Mr Knightly" and he didn't like it and that he wanted a better name lol So i have to change his alias to Fitzpatrick (his choice!!!) So from now on he will be Fitzpatrick :D He is so funny!! So after dinner we went to the movies to see "The last airbender" It was really good, alot of like.. yoga moves happening and karate movies in it, even Fitzpatrick liked it :) Then of course after the movie the boys were doing the actions and Fitzpatrick was still doing them when we got home and he has been airbending this morning too. lol. So funny.

Breakfast

So this morning Lizzie was making herself breakfast,she was having crumpets, and her Dad come into the kitchen and said "What type of honey are you having?" and picked the bottle of honey up to check out the flavour,(It lovely honey my mum bought back from Western Australia) When he gave it back and left the room she said to me "It's not honey, it's ninja turtle blood" and proceeded to put it on her crumpet..lol

Wiggle Parade

The wiggles were at Dreamworld today and as my kids are wiggles fans especially Lydia and Lizzie we went along thanks to Mr Knightly winning tickets :) We got early passes so we were able to enter Dreamworld at 9 am so we got PRIME spots right where the wiggles stop and we waited and waited as the parade didn't start until 11am...it was worth it :) It was a great mini concert and Parade and we all got a high five from Jeff and Ryan one of the wiggly dances. We were in such a good spot they came right up to us and the kids where so excited. Lydia was about jumping out of her skin and kept trying to escape to get up on stage. After the concert we went around to wiggle world and then walked around a bit then took a train ride to lunch then we headed over to Whitewater world,it is so good! WE went to wiggle bay for the little ones for a while then went over to the pipeline one for the bigger kids but they all went on it.. we are definately going back it was so fun. Mr Knightly louged on the recliners there and had a break (his knees where a bit sore and he thinks he was suffering from being out in the sun waiting for the wiggles;) We were able to leave about 3pm as everyone had the shivers. Then we stopped on the way home and got ice creams.

Ginger Factory Trip

We got to the weekend and decided we wanted to go do something so we decided to go to the Ginger factory in Buderium( actually it is in Yandina ) So we called Elinor and Edward to see if they were up for it and of coarse they were so off we went for the day! Had a nice trip up and had a look at all the ginger, Mr Knightly loves ginger so he was grabbing heaps of stuff :) I don't like it so i just browsed at everything, Then we went for a look through all the little boutiques they have there, I loved "The Doll House" absolutely gorgeous! Then we went over the road to the Macadamia Nut Factory where we sampled all the different coated nuts. Edmund is highly allergic to peanuts but we have recently found out he can eat tree nuts so he was excited to be able to try them for the first time, And the verdict was :.... He spat them out!!!! He didn't like them at all by themselves and i had to get a drink for him to wash the taste out! lol! It was about lunch time then and everyone was getting hungry so we (as usual)had organized to picnic somewhere so we went to a Lake out there which had a nice little park and BBQs. It was a very windy road and when we pulled up at the car park poor Jayne was out like a shot and vomiting up in the bushes :( Poor chooky, But after a drink and rinse out her mouth she was fine.It must of been the curvy road. Well the boys got BBQ-ing but it wasn't cooking very well so Edward got out his trusting camping stove and put the snags on there :) All the kids had decided to build a fort out of sticks on the playground equipment, which you had to have a secret password for:) So they were all collecting sticks and logs etc.We had lunch and were just sitting around chatting when Darcy come screaming up to us he'd been bitten by some ants (the way he was carrying on you would of thought it was a bite from an extremely venomous animal!) So Elinor was in panic mode :) and ran down to get the first aid kit, I just said show me where it has bitten you, to which he exclaims " MY LEG,MY LEG, MY LEG!!!!" and falls into the camp chair, Talk about drama queen lol, So i got him to take of his shoe and sock so i could see, and he had two bite marks which Elinor sprayed with Stingoes and gave him a bit of chocolate cake! And then Mr. Knightly was making him laugh to take his mind of the pain in his ankle from the bites. So soon after that we packed up and went for a drive through the hinterland (which was beautiful!), on our way home. It was about 3:30 i think and i really felt like getting Fish and Chips and going to the beach for dinner so we decided to do that :) We went to Caloundra to Moffets beach (very nice) and no doubt you know, the kids got wet and we had to change there clothes, And Then we got fish and chips and had dinner and the kids played pirates in the playground,Jayne being the evilest pirate had to be captured the most by Captain Edmund :) It was about 7pm when we left and drove home. Then we went through Maccas and got ice cream cones for dessert to top off the day :)
