My week in words.

I have had a lovely week. It was a friend of our family's birthday and they had a small party to celebrate! It was really lovely to see some old friends and catch up with them. There was also some firework, actually there were hundreds of fireworks. My baby brother was in charge of lighting them and that totally terrified me! Every firework that went off scared me and made me jump, but Fin just casually walked away as the fireworks went off behind him - almost like the hero in a movie walking away as an explosion goes off right behing them! Any party that is held at their house usually involves everyone doing a "party piece". We somehow managed to avoid having to do it this year. We are going to work on something amazing for the next party though!

I was babysitting for a family from our Church last weekend. They have 3 boys. I have been babysitting for YEARS but this is the first time I have been outnumbered by boys!! I had a blast with them. They are so sweet. They had a chocolate cake to share with me when I got there and the gave me some strawberry bonbons. They were also very excited to play a game of cluedo with me. I hadn't played this for a long time but the boys helped me! I was warned by their parents that they like to cheat - big style! It was hilarious, I had to be on my guard at all times. It was a lot of fun. They had this cool book with a bible story for each day of the year, so we read the next story. Then we watched a movie, Dr Seuss - Horton hears a Who! They were so excited that I wanted to watch this with them, I had never heard of it. We had watched about 5 minutes of it and I thought it was terrible! But as we watched some more I started to enjoy it, probably because I thought it was really cute that they were laughing at it! I hope I get to babysit these wee guys soon - they are awesome!

On Sunday I got to spend the day with my sister. We have been planning to spend a day together since Christmas but this is the first time we were both free. We watched 27 dresses, we could hardly stay awake while we were watching it. It was pretty late, about 3pm! HA. We had dinner with my mum and Fin which was nice. It's not often that we all get to sit down to have a meal together. After this we decided that we would watch The Butterfly Effect. I don't know why I would watch this again. It really freaks me out everytime. I'm much more of a romantic comedy girl! It was nice just to spend time with my sister. :)

Something very exciting happened today. The coal arrived!! Exciting news for me because it means that my fires will now be even more amazing! Yay.
