Birthday Soup

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUFFLE

We collectively made breakfast for the Birthday boy this morning. I made a cup of tea, Smallest brought him an Orange Juice and Small toasted some bread. Originally he asked for breakfast in bed but I think that always sounds much better than the reality, especially as Smallest was going to make him scrambled egg!

Huffle opened his presents, cards and was pleased with his slippers, tee-shirt, hat, money, canvas seat, wind Catcher, trousers and chocolate. I left all the boys at home watching the football (Stoke v Aston Villa) while I went off to my sewing group.

There were three of us there today and only one other person had done their square completely but it was also too big. I was given instruction how to make mine right (just sewing bigger seams) and then we examined the new square. It looks complicated as usual and I'm hoping I don't leave this one until the last minute again and panic. Suffolk and I went for a cup of tea and a chat before I headed home to find lunch prepared. The boys had jelly and ice cream too.

We all went off to Smallest's football where his team played against the Under 10's (the next year up). They were bigger, stronger and quicker but the boys did well and the final score was 7-6 to the U10's. Our Coach was in goal and took it all very seriously. There was no referee, no half time and the kids played for about 75 minutes. In the end, the only reason they stopped was because one boy got badly injured and another one got hit in the head. It was very lively and entertaining but just went on too long. We took Flapjack for the team and the parents which was well received by most. Huffle got an England shirt from the Coach for his birthday.

Small was marking the tallest boy on the other team!

Back home, Smallest showered and Small taught Huffle how to play Happy Birthday on the piano while I put the candles on his cake. We almost set the smoke alarm off and Huffle managed to blow wax all over the cake. We had a small slice with our cuppa and the boys played on the Wii while Huffle decided where he wanted to go for dinner. The boys were scheduled to go camping tonight (brrrrrrrr) but becuase the temperature was warmer than expected, it would be too muddy. So much for Huffle and I getting a night out together.

Grandma and Grandad Facetimed Huffle and sang a beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday.

He decided on Joeys for dinner as Smallest hasn't been there before. We had to wait for a table so we popped into the Mall which was weird because all the shops were closed and yet there were lots of people in there. What were they doing?

The sky was amazing, all pink and orangey. In the Mall, Huffle found his favourite shop........

......and Smallest ate chicken bigger than his head. We had a lovely dinner.
