i thot i would post some stuff about the fun we have at home. So here they are in pictures & videos (if the video still doesn’t work – LJ needs to fix this video thing! – then please just copy & paste the whole http line which you can see – thanks – UPDATE 16/06/2007 – new embeded code from YouTube is working so enjoy – however, the so-called related videos are not related at all!!):

Here’s my “Picasso” at work, drawing on his new board which he got for his 3rd birthday:

Here’s are father & son playing with Daddy’s new toy – remote-controlled plane (i’ll give you a prize {prize decided by me} if you can spot where the plane is):

Here’s Tobias picking up the plane which landed in the grass:

Here’s one of Tobias trying to get his new “blue hair” to stay on his head (he made the blue hair with his new playdough set):

Well, hope you had fun viewing.

So i have had my 1st Usborne Book Party – 25th May 2007, Friday, 9 to 12.

And how did it go? Well, not very good – out of the more than 50 or so invited (we had sent an email out to Walter’s colleagues as well) – only 2 came. There were a few others who had intended to come but last minute things came up – so … it’s a lesson learned – it may well be a simple case of wrong timing – so we’ll try again – maybe in the evening this time.

Here’s a look at the book display which i set up – my 1st attempt at such a thing:

Hoping & praying that response to the books will get better & better quite soon.

Tobias had his 3rd birthday last Sunday – yes it has taken me a week to get this up – but i was busy with books stuff (see next post for details).
The very lucky boy had 2x birthday parties this year – yep, 2x – which meant 2x cakes & a couple more presents 😉

Here he is, on the morning of his birthday, very happy with his presents:

Here’s his 1st cake (the official one) Big Trucks cake – he couldn’t waiting to take the trucks off the cake from the moment we picked up the cake!

Here are the kids at church who were there for his birthday (the official party was held at church):

Here’s his 2nd cake (mummy homemade one), which was for the celebrations at his Krippe (daycare):

Here are some of his teachers & friends at his daycare, singing Happy Birthday.

Here he is blowing out the candles, even before the cake is properly on the table – hahhahahaa ;), he wanted to get to the opening of the presents part quickly!

All in all they were nice simple celebrations. We may do something bigger next year when he understands more & can ask for more for his party.
