A birthday, boys, boots and a baby

It was Meeks' birthday yesterday, but the day didn't start well with Mitchy having a high temperature so having to stay home. However aside from the temperature he was okay. Mum came over to babysit the boys and Holly and Meeks and I went to have a special lunch at Pilu at Freshwater. When we turned up they were actually filming a segment from Masterchef. We found out it was one of the reward lunches. So if you watch Masterchef very carefully during the Pilu reward lunch when they arrive at the restaurant, Meeks and I are in the background ... maybe :) Anyway, the food was fantastic. We were so happy to have a beautiful meal.

After we got home Lucas, Sam and I made Meeks birthday cake. Later when it was cooked and cooled Lucas and Sam decorated it (you can see Sam did some sampling!)

After dinner we Meeks blew out the candles and we all enjoyed the cake including Mitch who was feeling a bit better

and even Holly got some

Today I went and did some shopping and bought Mitch some soccer boots and pads and some extra socks and shorts for training. Now in my day, soccer boots were black and occasionally had a few stripes on them. These days soccer boots can be all sorts of colours and as much as I would have liked to find him some black ones, I had to get him some white ones because those were the only ones they had in his size. They also happened to be the cheapest ones there, but that was just an added bonus. Anyway, here they are:

Very smart looking and just in time for training this afternoon and his first game on Saturday.

That's about all the news, I start my new job next week which I'm kind of looking forward to and kind of not after being on holidays for the last two weeks.

Here is another photo of Holly, just because she's cute :)
