Ben's Birthday


Ben woke us up early. Well it wasn't too bad, 7:25am. We stumbled downstairs in our dressing gowns and watched him open his presents. Either he has finally learnt some manners or he really liked everything he was given. There was no 'I didn't want that'. Unfortunately one game he was given didn't work so will have to be returned to the toyshop, luckily Ben has a voucher to spend so I'm sure we'll be going there later in the week.

There was only one hitch at the cinema, you're not allowed to take large bags in. Unfortunately we had the food packed into four rucksacks, so had to give the boxes of food and drinks out to the children while Joules rushed to put the bags back into the car. The children, 16 boys and three girls, were very good and sat quietly throughout the movie, laughing very loud at the funny parts of which there were a good few.

Then it was time to come home and Ben had more presents to open. He got a great selection of gifts from power rangers, batman, Lego, art stuff, cars, football gear, a walkie talkie, dinosaur and games. I think you'll agree he's a very lucky boy.
