Party Party Party!!

It is George's 13th birthday on Monday. As everybody has to go to school or work on Monday, we thought we'd bring the festivities forward a couple of days and celebrate George's birthday on Saturday.

You will notice that the birthday cake is decorated with lots of pink decorations. There is a reason for this. I make a chocolate layer cake for everybody's birthday. As everybody I make a cake for is a boy, the "boy" cake decorations get used up. As I was making George's cake, I noticed that all I had were really feminine birthday cake decorations e.g. pink fairy castles, flowers, stars and pink sugar paste bears. George then stated that he really didn't mind if I used up all the girly decorations on this year's birthday cake. So that's what I did. George had a lovely chocolate layer cake with loads of girly pink birthday decorations on it. He thought it was cool. You know what? All the friends that George invited over thought it was cool too.


George made a request to take some of his friends to Laser Quest in Carlisle. This is great! I love Laser Quest.

Here we are signing in for our game and choosing the names under which we will fight. I usually fight under the name of Xena. I came in 2nd. I rule! You wouldn't believe how much fun you can have shooting your own children with a laser. "Mom! Stop shooting me!"

We then made our way to The Golden Arches. Not the healthiest food on the planet, but it is cheap and I don't have to prepare anything. The mess stays there.

Back at Whitelees, the boys had a football (soccer) game in the front garden.
Johnny, Adam, Scott, George, Gordon, Laura and Sean.

The nice thing about this weekend is that Sean, my middle boy has come home for a visit. We don't see him nearly as much as I'd like. University life in Glasgow, soon to be moving to Edinburgh keeps him very busy.
