Saturday 19th October
I took the kids down early Saturday morning for Jade's next Specialist appointment... we'd received the results from the Psychologist up in Rockhampton that suggested that she was ADHD but with a high IQ - which means that she doesn't need to pay attention to get through her classes... unfortunately, that will only get her so far... so, we needed answers as to where to go next.... so our next appointment was booked and it's always a good excuse for a weekend in Bundy visiting Mom and Dad...
While we were down there, we picked up a new BBQ that everyone chipped in for me for my birthday....
Then, we headed to Spotlight to pick up fabric to make shiny capes for Blake's party the following weekend... (We got Blue, Red, Silver, Black, Purple and Pink - we had to cover the girl cape angle - because Blake has female friends too.... and we still weren't sure exactly how many kids were coming).
(I should explain that I guess... the kids don't get to have huge parties every year, there's way too much planning involved in that and then you have issues with them wanting something bigger and better each year... so we decided years ago that they get a party at 5 and then at 10.... for other years we go to the beach and have a BBQ and do something simple... (we made the mistake of Jade's one not being AS simple this year.... so we'll probably have to do that kind of thing for Blake's 8th - just to be fair)).
Jade testing out the first pink cape....
The kids have discovered Ginger Beer.... so, lets get a pic of them... a nice smiling pic....
Uhmmm.... a little creepy Jade!
Does it hurt to have your pic taken??
Umm... I have no words...
Ok, I give up... DON'T SMILE FOR A PHOTO THEN!
Blake trying on one of the Blue Capes....
Yeah, this will work!
We ended up with 32 capes in all of the colours... this way, kids could choose a colour and there would be spares... so they should all be happy!!! (well, that's the theory!)
