Amy’s Birthday & Glee Party
Poor Amy. She spent her Birthday at home with tonsollitis and her birthday party had to be postponed. Luckily her sickest day was Wednesday so she wasn’t too bad by Friday and because was wasn’t allowed to go to school it wasn’t too rushed in the morning to open her presents.
She was very excited to get a new i-pod.
And Christy was excited to get the packaging to play with. Finally an i-pod she can take to school :-).
There was also time for a family breakfast – french toast at Amy’s request (and the first meal she’s eaten in days).
And since we didn’t have to leave home at 7.20am, there was time to open gifts from Nan & Pop and cards from other family members.
She continued to feel better as the day went on and we ended up having Chinese for dinner with Nan & Pop. Not sure what I was doing/thinking as I took NO photos!!!!
Then on Saturday it was time to party…. Glee style. Meet Sue (me), Quinn (Christy), Rachel (Sarah), Santana (Alyssa) and Mersades (Amy).
Yes, I know…. a nine year old pregnant girl looks so wrong…
Games were played – the chocolate game being a big hit.
Everyone seemed to enjoy getting dressed up in character.
What a bunch of losers 🙂
There was dancing…
and lots of Glee singing…
and, of course, Birthday cake….vegan chocolate cake to be exact.
Amy had a fabulous time and I think everyone else did as well. It was an easy party to host with pizza supplied for dinner and Kevin & I were pleased with how well behaved and well mannered all the kids were.

The week that was
There was a blood test and a visit to the doctor… results were all fine which was good to hear. Starting on anti-inflamatories to try and help the swelling & pain in my hands and feet.
There was time spent cleaning all the outdoor areas including the chook area and pool – my least favourite job! Looks lovely when it’s all done though.
There was lunch out by the pool…
There were dogs lying in the garden to keep cool
There were dogs lying around inside
and there were dogs being cute.

and below…
There was Christy trying to hide out in Kevin’s car so she could go to the USA with him.
There was our first taste of cheeseless pizza and it was yummy!
There was time spent pulling out all the dead plants from our Summer garden. Looks so sad and bare now.
There was heartache over the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand. We’ve been there a couple of times so it was especially shocking to see the city in ruins. I actually saw a twitter update about it 2 hours after it happened so watched a lot of the live feed on my laptop. So sad.
And finally I wore my new Crocs every day in an effort to help my heel spurs. Good news – on Sunday I was pain free the WHOLE day!!!
