long live mothers day

As a gift for hubby's 30th my big sis shouted us out for the night at a flashy motel last night after her party. So this morning I woke up when i wanted to for the first time in a long time. What more could a mother want...but wait there was more hubby took me to IKEA. haven't been for so long!!! spent 2 hours checking every last thing out. Bought the kids some shelves, a mirror, kid's car mat, some funky containers, and a few other bits and bobs.

Then when we got home the kids had a gift for me of this..

I heart Gilmore Girls!!! I am just like a pig in mud.

So the afternoon was spent putting in the new shelves then rearranging the kids room.

Then just before bed the kiddilinks were having a ride on dad's legs

So loving today...hope you all have had a great mothers day too.

Captain Jack's party

Man I have been wanting to tell you about this for soooo long but it was a surprise and my sis reads my posts. Have had a busy few weeks planning and scheming and designing my big sisters 40th party. Was last night. Was heaps of fun and I think all the effort was worth it. Jack loves the pirates of the carribean so I thought she would enjoy a fancy dress party. We had the party at a restaurant that had a ship in it...

here is what the email invites looked like...

On the night I had a slide show of past photos and I gave these out to everyone so they could look at the blog after the party for the photos and other fun photos of Captain Jack's past.

If you want to see more check out her birthday blog.

happy 40th sis...
