Easter Show 2013

One of the biggest things for kids to do is finally here; the Easter Show. Where the kids dig holes into their parents' wallets for toys, lollies, games and rides plus food at the venue on top. But that didn't phase me, obviously I knew that's what we have to do for our kids.

This year we decided Jaiden was big enough to go to the Easter Show and he knew what he liked so it was easy for him to point out what he wanted instead of sitting there for ages deciding what to get.

We got there nice and early, so when we were roaming there wasn't much of a crowd to battle and we were able to see the animals with ease. We got to see horses, ponies and touch the farm animals. Jaiden was also face-painted as Spider Man! He stayed in character since! Though when he the "real" Spider Man and Wolverine, he suddenly got starstruck. Jaiden only got one showbag, which was Batman - pretty much the only one worth buying.

Jeremy and Jaiden took turns playing games but of course Jaiden took all the winnings and left me with nothing because Jeremy didn't win one game haha. 

Overall, a great day out as a family and the best thing we could've done before Jaiden goes away.

 

Bron's Baby Shower

On Sunday we had my friend Bronwyn's Baby Shower, that I took part in with the organising together with our friends Lorreine and Sarah. My role was to get lolly jars and get some games - since games are hard to get off the shelf, I managed to find a 4 in 1 packet at Spotlight and Kaecee drew out 'Pin the dummy on the baby' game.

It was a pretty windy day and because of this, a lot of people left before we could start the games. But we still had the 'younger' people to play along with and we all still had fun. Sarah organised games and on the day we played - draw a baby on the paper plate on top of your head, create a diaper on someone using toilet paper and the guys had to tie their shoe laces without popping the balloon in their shirts.

It's such a great day and feeling knowing someone close to you is expecting a little human that will change everyone's lives, really soon. I can't be happier for Bron and I can't wait to meet our little man Tristan.

As our present, I DIY'd a Diaper Cake. No one believed that I made it until I actually told them haha.
