A busy week of birthdays!!

Crikey we've had a busy time at our house lately but first I want to thank everyone for their very kind words after we lost our Mortimer Moo.  We are all coming to terms with our loss and things are returning to normal. Murphy is still a tad sad but doesn't visit the grave site quite as much as he did initially.  Maggi Moo seems to be coping by herself.  The little girls, Jen and Murphy have been spending a lot of time with her and she follows them everywhere but so far she doesn't seem to be too sad over being the only cow on the property. It will be a while before a new one arrives so we are all hoping she won't be too sad until then. She is an absolute sweetheart and we all love her so much.  Even ME!!!  That surprises you, aye??  Well ...... you should smell her!!  You'd like her too. There's nothing quite like Maggi Moo aroma.
But to get to my busy week.  We've had 3 birthday's all within two weeks of each other. Miss G, Miss Jo and Dad. Miss G's was 2 weeks ago. She turned 4. Getting to be quite a BIG, aye??  She's the baby of the family .... well except for me. I'm only 3.  She had a great day!  Went to a jumping castle joint with some of her preschool buddies in the morning and came back to our house in the arvo for present time and birthday cake cutting etc.  Mum made her cake and she and Jen decorated it. Crikey they are getting good at this cake thing.  Miss G. wanted a FROZEN cake. Not a frozen cake as in a freezing cold cake but a frozen cake as in the movie Frozen.  Mum and Jen did one for Miss Izzi a few years back so this time it was a lot easier for them but they still think they did a brilliant job and it was much better than the one they did for Miss Izzi.  What do you think??  Which one is best??

Miss Izzi's 2014

Miss G's.

On Saturday we celebrated Miss Jo and Dad's birthday together. Miss Jo turns 9 on the 13th and Dad turns ANCIENT on the 11th. Crikey that's today!!  It was a good day too. Miss Jo went to see  Finding Dory in the morning with a few of her school friends and then the family came back to our house for presents and cake etc.  Just like Miss G's day, aye?? Only this time there were 2 cakes. One for Pop Pop (that's what the little girls call Dad). Mum and Jen didn't make Pop Pop's cake. Jen's husband and the little girls made it.  Pretty good job they did of it too, aye??

Mum and Jen did Miss Jo's cake.  She wanted a FAT rabbit cake. She's a bit obsessed with fat rabbits at the moment.  Now I think this cake is the best cake EVER.  Mum and Jen were both very happy with it.  Its Funny when they decorate the cakes. They really put a lot of love into each and every one and they also like all the adults to contribute something. Dad ALWAYS smooths the undercoat icing. He's so funny. He loves doing it and thinks Mum and Jen couldn't possibly decorate a cake without him. He hovers around like a fly around a honey pot until it is his turn.  Then he takes his trowel and small tool and proceeds to smooth the icing. Yes ..... he's a builder!!  He does clean the trowel etc. before he starts.  Mum was a bit horrified this time as he had to sand them down before using them. She did scald them in boiling water before she let him at it.

That is Miss G's cake but we didn't take a picture of him doing Miss Jo's. 

Jen's hubby always has a hand in it too.  We always find something for him to do. For Miss Jo's cake he got to make the fence. My job .....  I'm the taste tester!!!!  Miss Jo had the best day.  She said it was the best birthday EVER!!  I think she says that every year.  BUT it was a very good day.  The icecream was still the best part for me though.  Crikey I LOVE birthdays. So much icecream!!!!!!!!!!  

Pretty neat, aye??

Isn't she the sweetest little girl???  Crikey I love her.  She loves me too!! 

Pop Pop and two of his Princesses

Hmmmmmph!!  Another one of the cake.  Well Mum is VERY proud of it.

What a nice family, aye??  Can't you just tell the personalities of the girls by this photo.  What do you reckon?? 

Wanna run .... Love, Charlie.
