Sometimes there are days that are so...perfect. When you think about them afterwards they make your heart ache, they were so perfect...well our family has had two of them in a row and it's so special.
Yesterday we had Morgaine's birthday party. It's not her birthday until Tuesday, September the 11th, but we wanted it on a weekend as this is most convenient for families.
We had it at TRESCA, a local community centre with a lovely park there. All Morgaine's gorgeous friends came and their parents too ( all equally lovely ), my mum did the food and Ifan the face painting. I ran the games and organised everyone to come. it was so simple, and so lovely. My heart ached as all the lovely children played so nicely. One of the little boys I have a super soft spot for just loves Morgaine and wants to kiss and cuddle her so gentleman-like.
Her cake was Marlin and Dory cake and her face was so excited when it came out all candled up. We played Justine music, and had a wonderful time. Providing wine for the parents was a good move too and something to think about in future.
Everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy it, and Ifan and I talked a lot about it afterward. Now I am sure you know how unsocial we both are,,,and yet it was ace.
Today I took M out to Evandale to see her cousins and Aunty, we met Ifan there with his scooter mates who had been for a run out on their motors too. The weather was holiday like, we ate ice-cream and onion rings and I felt as free as a bird. Morgaine is so tired today, after all the excitement of yesterday, but she is happy and this is all that matters to us. Ifan is happy and this is all that matters to me...and I am feeling great.
On another positive note, Ifan has just hung his first lot of photos in a local restaurant and within 5 minutes he had sold two to a Sydneysider with good taste. He is also going to do a wedding for a couple of scooter enthusiasts that he knows. He didn't want to do weddings really, but this couple are up for something a bit unusual and special, not the usual meringue-style set-up, so he said yes to them. He is a very talented boy and I know he will do well with his photography work.
