Jacob's Birthday Part 2

We picked Jacob up from Care about 5ish and went to the Playground on the other side of Foodland (just next to Pasadena Kindy), and gave Jacob the rest of his pressie - A Bike! He was not at all excited or pleased. This was not what we were expecting. Not to worry, he'll get used to it (it's not like he sees Daddy riding a bike around or anything... and we were trying to make him wear his helmet which he wasn't too keen on...). So then we walked the 2 minutes to the shops and got chips for tea, and went back to the playground to eat. He had a great time playing on the slide and things (there's a rock climbing wall there too!) but it was getting a bit cool and windy so we came home for more birthday cake. I think he was expecting something a bit more than just mum and dad and Sam cos he asked 'where are the children?!'. But we sang and had cake and baths and he put on his nice new Wiggles PJs (thanks NannyB) and Nanna and Grampa rang and he entertained us with 'a show' and we did the Hokey Pokey and he went to bed! I think it's safe to say he's had a good 3rd birthday, thank you everyone! In the words of Jacob - 'Well done guys'. :) xox
The camera's run out of batteries and I've run out of oomph to get the photos off, so we'll have to do it later...

It's Jacob's Birthday!

Today is the day! Jacob was very excited when he saw the pressies next to the bed this morn (although didn't understand that they weren't from Santa!) and had fun opening the parcels that had arrived last week. I think the thing he was most excited about was the 3 lollipops that Aunty Wendy put in with his lovely new red Wiggles top (different to the lovely new red Wiggles top he got from Jo, and the lovely new red Wiggles PJ's he got from NannyB!). I did think that 5 to 7 was a bit early to be eating lollipops even on his birthday, but he will certainly be wanting one as soon as he gets home from Care this arvo. He enjoyed watching the Curious George movie he got from Natalie and Calvin early this morn too, and once he was dressed just wanted to go out and drive his car around the back yard. We took birthday cake to care so they could sing for him again and after we pick him up we'll go to a park with a playground and have some chips for tea, and he can get the rest of his pressie from us! ;)

He certainly seemed to enjoy his birthday party on Saturday arvo. I'd got some big rockers and slides and things from the Toy Library, and Daddy got his big bubble stuff out which was a huge hit! The kids had great fun running around chasing and popping the bubbles. And of course there was Birthday Cake (thanks Nanna) and lots of food! I think Jacob didn't quite eat all of the jelly beans. Was good fun! I have a feeling Jacob will be having a BIG sleep at Care today!

This is being a bit demented and not letting me put photos up at the moment but i'll keep trying. And no doubt I'll have a bit more to update later about the rest of the day!

Happy Birthday Calvin!!!

It's our turn to send Calvin BIG birthday greetings... Jacob enjoyed drawing you a picture the other day but this morning Sam just wanted to eat it so this was the best pic we could get! Anyway we are thinking of you lots today and are glad you are doing fun things. A pirate party sounds great! We can't wait to see you this week & we'll give you your pressie then. We love you lots! Love Jacob, Sam, Uncle Al & Aunty Heth

Calvin's birthday

Cos Debbie is doing the updates, they are going to appear on the Cozens blog. (I think Blogger's transition from old to new isn't quite going as smooth as they would have hoped.)

Calvin said: Thanks for remembering my birthday, Nanna, Byee .

Hello Grunt (and everyone else) (from Debbie)

(This is Debbie's post, by the way. Blogger is being stupid.) Hi everyone. Marbrook Rob and Cherie ('Congratulations in Lebanese). The car looks great. Really love the logo photo!
Just thought I'd better write here and let you know that I am reading and looking at the blogs, but for some reason it will not let me leave comments. Annoying!

Calvin and I did make it safely back yesterday, but I'm quite happy to not have to get in the car for a couple of days. Glad we went down. I think it was nice for Daniel to have something a bit different happen for his birthday. It has certainly made me very excited about Calvin's birthday (though we are still working out what we will do). I asked Calvin yesterday who he would like to celebrate his birthday with and (after I explained that it couldn't be Daniel) he told me very definitely that he wanted Tony, dressed as a pirate! Haven't broken the news to Tony yet, but we'll see what we can work out ;)
