Becks is almost 5 years old!

Left to right clockwise: 

(1) Becky cutting her cake at school just before term breaks, 

(2) "mummy, look at my tongue!", 

(3) "yummm… the legs are the yummiest bit!" so says the boys in school - 

good thing the teacher intervene or the head would have been gone too, 

leaving Becky in tears (possibly)

Well, she's almost 5 years old.

Not quite yet. We had to celebrate it earlier as school term was done.

 yay! it's summer break!!!

As of yesterday she said to me:

"ee ee, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."

{grins} 

"then my real birthday!"

{squeals}

That's about right.

No point trying to correct the count-down.

A hopeless argument of accuracy - which an almost 5 year old -

will NOT appreciate. 

It's a rather hard task for me. One that requires a huge amount of

discipline and self restrain. 

I love maths {yes!!! crazy huh?} and I am a stickler for accuracy

and attention to details. But I tell myself that the squeals are already

deafening. I don't need a protest to blow my delicate ear drums.

{ahem. spoken like a true single.ton}

Well, before you think I'm such a callous, insensitive person …

I did make the party pack tags by punching two circular scallops out

of Bazzill card stocks with EK Success 1-1/2" and 2" scallop punches,

topped with felt cut-outs of dinosaurs in matching colours.  

As for the cake … ah ha … that was sub-contracted out! though it's

rather easy to make ...

{ssshhh… don't tell Val I said that}

Handmade party pack gift tags - tools and material from

Top and Bottom: 

3/4 of the leftovers to be distributed to the neighbours …

{sorry, but I put on 3 kilos just smelling cake, so no way am I eating any!!!}

 And what better way to celebrate her 5th birthday with Hi-5 and her friends?

{note, Val is about to pull her hair off every time Becky sings or 

plays Hi-5's Happy Birthday song from Youtube}
