Max's party was on Monday of the Queens' Birthday long weekend but his REAL birthday was a couple of days later.
They kicked the footy, they played in the yard, they sucked the helium gas out of balloons so they could sound like weirdos.
Here are some of our guests playing blackjack with the birthday boy.
Here's Max's new BMX bike.
George has a new bike too.
There they go, riding off into the distance.
The effects of helium on Max:
Bathtime with Ruby.
The boys had a nice visit with some friends who have horses, and they got to go for a little ride.
Here's George kissing the window of the car.
This is the changing rooms of the Orbost footy club after our team won their first victory for the season. We were all so proud of them!
Both Max and George spend hours kicking the football and honing their skills. The obsession must be getting pretty bad when you find yourself sleeping with a football.
George and I go to the pool together sometimes while Max is at football training.
On this occasion I forgot my bathers, so I watched from the sidelines and took photos instead.
It's been cold and frosty some of these mornings!
Here Ruby and I are making use of our warm Two Rivers jumpers.
There have been some warmish winter afternoons. Here you can see the dog, waiting in vain for Ruby to give him a belly rub.
Reckless behaviour like this has gotten her banned from the trampoline. She now crawls around on the grass while I hang up laundry. Unfortunately, one day when I wasn't looking, she ate a dry old piece of dog poo.
She uses her two fingers like chopsticks to pick things up.
Max's schoolwork, a poster all about Kookaburras.
