Saturday was the day of Judd's 4th birthday party. He had been counting down to this day for over 2 months and finally it had arrived. We held the party at a children's play center called Wiggle Town and they planned and organised everything for us, all we had to do was show up. I had decided to invite all of Judd's kindergarten class (all 20 of them) assuming that not all of the kids would show up. We also invited a few of the expat families that we have become friends with so on the day we ended up with about 25 kids! Only 7 of those were from school, the rest were expat kids. It was such a good day, plenty of food, lots of games, heaps of noise and a giant Stegosaurus Dinosaur cake plus a lovely chocolate mud cake for the parents. Judd got plenty of presents and he remembered his manners and said hello and thank you to all of his guests. We finished up around 2.30 in the afternoon and all we had to do was pile all the gifts into the car and leave the mess. It was ideal.
Sunday was Judd's actual birthday and he woke up singing Happy Birthday to himself and remembered that I told him that I would take him shopping to spend his birthday money and get a special toy. He of course chose a giant Bumble Bee Transformer, so difficult that only his father can make it transform but Judd loves it and that's all that matters.
Today I am trying to pack up the house so we can move tomorrow into the new house that we have rented and I wanted to try and get some boxes moved today while the kids are at school but the land lady who owns the house is still cleaning it and it is such a bother. We were told we could have the keys today to start moving and now I have to sit about waiting, something I don't do well.
But I should know by now that nothing moves quickly in Thailand and patience is necessary. I just have to focus on the fact that we will move in tomorrow and we should be swimming in the pool tomorrow night, just wish I could have a glass of wine to top off the evening.
