Birthdays

Well, I am now 1/3 of a century LOL - time is going way too fast these days.. I really don't have an issue about my age as it really is just another year and I don't feel any older really.... However when I stop and think that I now have a 4yo I start to go Oh wow, where has the time gone... My baby girl is 2yo in 2 months time! I feel like each day is blurring into the next.
Birthday on Friday for myself was not a bad one, quiet day and pretty much the same as any other, but we had friends over for dinner and it turned into a good night, just sitting around chatting mostly.
Saturday and Sunday were spent in the garden cleaning up for when the owners came on Monday and then on Monday we got up and gave Brad his presents, which was fun, he so desperately wanted a guitar, but we were not quite ready to spend so much on one in case he was a bit rough with it, and our friend who is a guitar teacher has said he is a little too young still to have proper lessons, but by his suggestion we got Brad a Ukuele, which he is absolutely rapped with.

We had a party at kinder for him today which was rather special too. Brad helped me ice some cupcakes to take and the kids all sang a gorgeous little song about the candles on the cake and being 4 and then happy birthday as well and it was just fantastic.

From there we met friends at the park for another little celebration. This is the last one for him for this year though!! LOL


On the house front, we don't have to move, which part of me is saying yay and another part is a bit disappointed because I think I really want to move to a new place. The owner has said that they won't bother doing anything with the cracks as the house has been this way for years, but in the 2 1/2 years we have been here I have noticed it is a lot worse and not getting any better, but I don't believe we are in any danger so not too stressed about it. It is her house after all and if this is what she chooses then so be it. On the good front we are finally getting the shower fixed :D
Gareth and I have been discussing it all and are contemplating moving when our lease expires anyway. This house was supposed to be a 3 bedroom, but it's really a 2 bedroom and 2 living room place more so. I really would like the kids to be able to have their own rooms and have some space for our scrapping/gaming as well. I think when the time comes around we might check out what is available and in our price range and make a decision from there. The downside is that it's right in the middle of December :( - But if we don't move this year then it will definitely be next year. Still hoping to try and save a deposit for our own place, we will get there eventually I know. :)
