Today is our son's 12th Birthday! with no special requests we decided on a mix of gifts which he opened this morning and seemed to appreciate!
As we'd played a lot of ludo on our holiday, we couldn't resist buying him a special 3D version signed "from the cats with thanks for putting us in the cattery!"
Tonight we plan to go out for a pizza to celebrate; later he has requested taking some school friends to see the Simpsons film but that will have to be planned carefully as I'm back to my normal weekend working routine this week.
From September we are having changes at work, and will now be on a rota which will involve fewer weekends and will be better for a more balanced family life.
I actually enjoy working weekends but it is hard to fit everything in and inevitably the entertainment of the children falls to Les!
Sponge cake chilling in the fridge for blowing out candles later when Les arrives home, we'll catch up with other family later next weekend I expect! Returning from holiday this close to his birthday has meant we've not been able to host the usual get-together.
Happy Birthday, Matthew!!
