V8 Supercar Weekend

I survived...and still no baby....when we originally bought the tickets here...I thought the due date would be this weekend! The noise was incredible...and Russell loved it...wiggling and kicking through the races and then going to sleep when the noise stopped. All the family were here....Dad and Kate, Mum and Roger, Lyn (MIL) and Mick, Nicole (SIL) and Beau.... and friends. We had a Bam Bam the dog visit for the whole weekend too...Jester loved it!

We had great seats in the front row of the grandstand on the 'hairpin', being able to see about 3 different corners and the entrance to the pits. The toilets, food and drinks were all close by and there was hardly any waiting for any of them. It was clean and well organised.

We had a long wander through the pits on the second day and I then can home for a rest before going back for the main race...I thought I'd get very tired, but surprisingly I didn't and other than fat feet at the end of the day (I think from wearing shoes all day) I felt really good for all 3 days.
DH had a good time too....finding 'grid girls' to have his photo taken with! Between 3 cameras we managed to take over 1500 photos....crazy!

Although cars and racing really aren't my 'thing', it was good fun and I'm glad I went.

Some photos....

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
