Firstly, I would like to congratulate all our British athletes for their achievements at the Beijing Olympics. Well done to them all. Thanks to their efforts this is the best we have scored in any Olympic Games for one hundred years! Dare we hope to do better when we host the games in 2012? Let us hope so.
Secondly, we had a lovely time on Sunday, Daniel's third Birthday. I did his Birthday entry quite early in the day on Sunday and he was thrilled to see it and the beautiful graphic that Sugar made for him. Thank you all for his Birthday wishes.
Nathan told me that Grandad was 36 and I was 9! Ahem, he will know better when he is older lol.
They were full of their trip to Legoland and telling us all about their favourite things there. I hope to have some pictures to share with you soon.
In the meantime, here is a selection of Birthday pics for you to see:-
One of the things we bought him was a pop-up toaster as those boys so like to play at pretend cooking. His parents bought him a Chef's outfit, amongst other things, so now he and Nathan both have one to dress up in.
We also gave him something a bit bigger!
A giant playmat keyboard. The boys both loved it. It has several different instrument sounds and a record facility where they can listen again to what they have "composed". It also has a demo facility with several tunes they can listen to. It can be played with either hands or feet but it was feet that won the day on Sunday. Becky is very relieved that it also has a volume button!
Then it was time for cake
The above photo has to be my favourite. What a handsome little boy he is (well I would say that wouldn't I?) and it is such a happy picture.
They both fell asleep on the way home. Well, to be honest Nathan crashed out whilst he was still here. All in all, a lovely day.
Have a good week dear friends and readers.

He is a darling boy ! What a happy time for you all ! I love the keyboard playmat. I've been looking for something for one of my grandson's birthdays coming up in Sept. Now I know what to get. That is something both he and his brother will enjoy. They are about the same age as your two. The cake is adorable too! 'On Ya' - ma

Didn`t we do well in the Olympics Jeannette, every one of our competitors did us proud. Roll on 2012! It`s clear that Daniel`s birthday celebrations went well and doesn`t he look pleased with his cake. I love the present you bought, I`ve not seen one of those before. I`m sure both Daniel and Nathan will have hours of fun with it. By the way, how do you like being 9yrs old? ;o)))
Love Sandra xxxx

Thanks for sharing Daniel's birthday pictures with all of us, can tell from the pic's that he enjoyed his 3rd birthday for sure. Like you love that love picture, so precious. Arlene (AJ)
It looks like a lovely birthday party filled with fun & great presents...I especially like the keyboard mat. I can see why the boys would be so fond of that one. They are both such handsome fellows ~ no question why you are so proud. Yes, I guess you will be hosting the next Olympics and I imagine preparations are already underway for such a huge event.
