Ethan turns 5

It started out a quiet morning as the boys didn't wake up until 7am. Not that I am complaining, but it is a little unusual and considering there was a birthday in the house, it's generally a little more chaotic LOL We bought Ethan a skateboard for his birthday. I was a bit nervous and of course he had his first scuffle that morning, grazed his arm - that will teach him to wear all the protective gear. Being a Thursday, I decided to have a play at the park with some of his kindy friends. There were about 20 kids that came with their mums (and dads) which was really nice to be able to catch up with everyone. It was also good that the older siblings were in school, so Ethan felt like one of the big boys, if you know what I mean.
Here are some of the kids on top of the train in the park. They all had a lovely time. I didn't have time to make the cake, so I ordered it from the local bakery. It was sooooo much better than what I could do anyway.
and Ethan was sooooo happy with the soccerball candles (note his Socceroos shirt)
Ethan with his mate Harry who is 3 days younger than him. His mum and I spent 2 nights together in hospital and we each have 3 boys. Such a special bond!
This is the cake Ethan's Grandma made for after dinner. We had all the family over for tacos. This cake had to opened with a hammer and inside was full of lollies and treasures. The kids thought it was wonderful (as did the adults). Again, note, I got out of cooking the cake - totally HATE cooking LOL Anyway, all in all, Ethan had a wonderful birthday!! It's so exciting to be 5!!!
