Cake & Candles

So many candles we nearly caused a fire!!!

Wafting away all that smoke ...

All the pressies ... V.I.P. the DC's (only kids (and boys) will understand so I'm told) lots of money of course, as well as some sea monkeys, and his very own 'crystal' (meths oops!!! kelsey said that) set !!! (you know that was something I always wanted when I was a kid, sea monkeys not crystal meths !!!!p.m.s.l) Guess we're gonna be doing some science experiments at the weekend... I'll let you know if we blow ourselves up... LOL.

As you can see by these photos Kelsey enjoyed his 12th Birthday yesterday, despite the fact he'd had a crap day at school - his best mate is off sick and he'd had a set too with one of the boys at school, who by the sounds of things is a big bully!!!

(oh! oh! I'm off on my high horse again !!! kids can be so cruel, and NO I'm the first to admit my boy is no angel BUT !!! when a bunch of kids gang up on one then it really gets me going !!!! but deep breaths and keep calm... let the bloody school sort it out cos if they don't !!!!!!!! :-(!!!)

But Kelsey knows that at home he's our number 1... he was thoroughly spoilt, he loved all the attention with the phone calls, text messages and e.mails from everyone ... thank you all ... and then he waitied patiently till after dinner before he opened his pressies ... he's such a card at times!!! Aunty J has a notice board in her kitchen where we all write our shopping lists on... he was wandering around with it around his neck with "I want presents" written on it ... then Aunty J said there was a word missing he then wrote NOW !!! I don't think that was the word she meant !!!!! LOL.

Later on though he did say it would have been a totally perfect day if Dad had been here... I know what he means... :-(
