Lots of birthday cheer!

This weekend was another busy weekend for the MacPurdy's. Saturday morning was swimming class, and then I had my sewing class in the afternoon. I hope to have my skirt finished next class!! So far, so good. While I was at my class, Rej very kindly picked up Darryl and the kiddies and brought them to their place. Clo had her birthday BBQ which meant lots of food and great company! Thanks for the wonderful time guys. It is always so nice to catch up with the gang. And Rej and Clo had their friends from Canada visiting so it was nice to hear so many Canadian accents in one room!!! :)

Happy Birthday Clo! Hope you had a wonderful day. Your belly is super cute!

Ah, well done Amy. The cupcakes were yummmmmmy!

And then we had another birthday party on Sunday!

Breagha was invited to a 3rd birthday party for one of the girls in her daycare class. It worked out nicely as Cassie (the birthday girl) has an older brother that happens to be in Shamus' class! Shamus and Harrison (Cassie's brother) are best buddies so Shamus went to the party too.

The birthday girl.

The girls getting ready for the birthday cake! They wore their princess outfits!

Present time!!

The kids had a really great time.

So, lots of birthday fun!!!! We had another super weekend!

Did you know we live with Superhero's?

Oh, it's true!!!

Here is supergirl! She fights the "baddies" (Aussie slang for bad guys) and saves earth! Breagha is happy with the dish towel tied around her neck and a superhero mask! Off she goes to fight the bad guys!

With her side kick..."Stop, you baddie!!"

Now, we don't only go around with the dish towel tied around our neck....we have the full costumes! Batman and Supergirl live in our house!! We're very lucky to be protected by these 2 superhero's. :)

Poor Dad had to be the bad guy and was tossed around by Supergirl and Batman. He was sent to jail for robbing our pillow.

Look out bad guys...we'll find you!!

The kids love to play superhero's. I don't know what it is but Superman, Batman, and Spiderman will never get old.

Boy, do we live for the weekends!!!

We really do. It's kind of sad but true!! Darryl and I are both happy with our jobs but the days can be busy and long so we are always glad to see Friday roll around! (especially Darryl because his office has Friday beer!) Shamus understands that we work from Monday to Friday so he also loves when it's Friday!

We had a wonderful Brissie weekend. The weather has been sunny almost everyday for about 2 months. A bit of rain on one or 2 days but that is it. It's been wonderful. I will really miss the weather when we do leave!

Saturday morning was swimming. The kids are doing really well. Shamus can now swim a bit on his own so it's quite exciting to see his progress. And Breagha is great at putting her face in the water. They both are so happy during the class and that makes us so happy! We were hoping that we could transfer the swimming class in the pool to the ocean but it hasn't happened yet! We went to the beach on Saturday afternoon and the kids still don't show much interest in the water! They just like to play in the sand. I did ask my coworker about it today (her daughter is 5) and she said her daughter is the same. And they're Aussie so I guess it's normal!

Sunday we had Dan and Amy over for a BBQ and it was great to catch up! And to hear that they set their wedding date! Verrrry exciting! Then we all went down to to New Farm Park to burn some energy off the kids! :) I think Shamus talked the ear off Dan. (For the record - Shamus talks...alot) We are very lucky to have friends that can handle being around kids! And our friends here are all so good with Shamus and Breagha so we are thankful for that.

Sunday evening was spent with Purdy and 30 Rock. Ah, that's a funny show!

That is basically a typical Purdy weekend. This weekend is my 2nd sewing class. I'm making a skirt and hopefully it will turn out looking like a skirt! So far I'm really enjoying it. And Breagha has a birthday party to go to on Sunday. This is Breagha's first party invite from a daycare buddy so she's pretty pleased about it. And it's a princess party so I need to find an outfit for her!
