Little Possum had a belated birthday gathering yesterday, which involved 5 friends from school and church coming over for fun, frolic and a sleepover. 

Trampoline, "Just Dance" on the XBox, more trampoline, DVD, pizza, Max Brenner chocolate... and a truckload of lollies and chips. (I had also prepared platters of fresh fruit, so I consoled myself they had a balanced diet of sorts).

What there was not so much of was sleep.....

With all the girls piled into the living room on mattresses there was predictably a lot of giggling and chatting.

Suddenly the morning came around with more trampoline and pancakes for breakfast before the girls went home.

Little Possum wandered around the house for a little bit and then did what all nocturnal creatures do, she found a comfy spot and settled for a nap.

 Doodlebug, in a moment of BigBrotherlyKindness, made her a soft landing spot in case she should roll off.

when his siblings are making too much noise and he just wants to have a quiet read.........

always prepared

shocking photo quality...... I really want a proper camera...   

However, this is our Doodlebug taking the scout oath. He has been "upgraded" from cubs and I had to lovingly detach all his badges from one shirt and sew them onto his new shirt.

 I will need to teach him to sew, I think  :)
