Saturday dawned sunny and clear and we headed out to MOTAT to enjoy the freeness of entry :) I lugged along a bag that held jungle print plates and serviettes as well as the all important cupcakes and cake. Alas, the cream cheese icing and coloured m&m's did not look as fantastic after a night in the fridge and a morning of sightseeing as they had done when freshly decorated - boo. Maybe next year we'll do an afternoon party. We met with Colin, Kym and family, Nakita, Erin and family, Isabelle and Rob and Sam etc. We all wandered off to view MOTAT and at 11:20 met at the playground where I pulled out all the bits and pieces and watched the rain come down. We repaired to the Gazebo instead :) The kids seemed to have a good time, especially as we were situated above the miniature model trainway. At around 1:30 we headed off as K experienced a fantastic meltdown and needed to be carried out the gate. That child sure does love MOTAT. C had been bright, alert and happy. He was asleep before the Pt Chev shops!! Poor tuckered out little love! So all in all a good day out. Sunday was a lovely bright sunny day but Chris had to prep lecture slides - boo. I did take the boys to the playground late in the afternoon which K enjoyed. Then I spoke to mum via Skype. She briefly got to see Kieran before he dashed off to watch Beauty and the Beast after he had helped his father cook dinner, and then wrestled mightily with Cameron over the laptop. Tomorrow is playcentre and a chance to rest! Phew!
