Do you all know that this time next Sunday mum and dad will be here!!!!!
Well today it was Peppa’s birthday, she and her hubby Owen are a lovely couple, they have 4 children, Mackenzie is in Sam’s class, Poppy is in Moo’s class and Finnegan (2) and lilac (1) are only babies and she is expecting again, this one was not planned, but they will be fine, they are both very laid back and very, very easy going. They have been true friends to Jason and I since we met them not long after we arrived and have introduced us to some other lovely people too, Peppa will do anything for anyone which is why a surprise party was a lovely idea for her.
Kerrie and I had made arrangements to meet at the house at 11.30 once they had set off to Mornington for breakfast, Kerrie had bought the balloons and banners and we had done the plastic plates, knives, forks, cups etc, everyone was bringing their signature plate. As the initial weather forecast was not good we were all cooking but in true Melbourne style the weather was better than expected and Owen wanted to BBQ, so we were asked to get some BBQ things, which meant that the morning was a little more rushed to say the least, but it all turned out OK. I had baked the cake and now have requests for deserts at the next two parties we are going to.
Everyone was arriving before 12.30 when Owen expected to get back with Peppa, we had all parked on a side road so she would have no idea what was going on. Peppa was very surprised and I think she had a good day, we were able to sit out round the pool while the kids had a swim and had a lovely afternoon
When we got back we called in at Hayley and Pauls (our Sunday ritual) and had a couple of drinks with them before coming home ready for an early night as Sam goes to Canberra tomorrow but has to be at school at 6.00 in the morning that is the usual getting up time, so not great.
