B Day

Rose and Naomi modelling their new dresses.

Yep, we finally made it to the 4th July. Steve and I had stayed up late the night before, playing games with some friends. Naomi started being sick about 10:30 and carried on every 20 minutes or so until about 2:30. I changed her sheets 3 times before I finally cottoned on to putting a towel under her!! She also got really good at telling me before she was about to be sick so we made it to the toilet in time. I also ended up sleeping in her bed with her until she stopped being sick so that we got to the toilet quicker. Rose woke up at 6:00 and announced "It's my birthday". I thought that maybe it was going to be a long day!

We went swimming after lunch, picked up Rose's friend at the pool, met her other friend at the play place and took the kids to an inflatable playground.

We went home, had spaghetti for dinner at Rose's request. Later, the girls and Joshua watched Rose's new "Princess" VCD and ate popcorn. (We put Naomi to bed first as she had missed most of the previous night's sleep. She wasn't too impressed but I offered to read 2 books and that won her over).

Rose wanted a mermaid cake which was a big hit!

Watching the film and eating popcorn

I went up to the girls about 8:30 and sat in the room with them for a while to try and calm them down but one of the girls thought they were in trouble and got upset. I left and Rose and her other friend sorted the situation out (I sat and listened on the stairs!). They eventually went to sleep about 10 when we went up to bed. But they had fun and Rose is 6.
