Hip hip Hooray!

(green icing waiting to ice the cake!)
 
Coleman Jnr turned 7 on Saturday. In fact, he's growing up so fast, I'm afraid he won't seem much of a "Jnr" for long... one day I'll have to reveal his real name (or come up with a  new "internet" one!!)
 
(handmade party bags made using an old plain bed sheet and decorated with fabric textas by the Birthday boy!)

We had a very special day celebrating all that he is. He is extremely clever, funny, creative, and compassionate. He drives us crazy at times, but isn't that a kids job at least sometimes!!!??
 

(Popcorn for the movie....gee I'm glad I bought 500 of these paper bags a few years ago at the Op Shop, they keep coming in very handy, and are pretty cute!)
 
(each child had their own movie ticket)
 
We celebrated with a  very simple day, but it was lovely. In the evening we set up an old fashioned "projector" screen and invited a few friends over for a Movie Night. We thought it was most impressive, but on reflection realised that most kids who came over probably have TV's at home about the same size as the projection screen...(we are still hanging on to our very crappy, very old, very small non flat screened 80's box.)

(the cake is ready to be iced!)
 
 
Happy Birthday to a wonderful little man!!
(I bought an un used packet of these straws at a trash and treasure market last year. I've been waiting for the right occasion to pull them out!)
 
Much Love and happiness
