Christmas, cake and other chaos

So it was  my birthday yesterday - yes, 21 again - and I had to pleasure of setting the alarm and shlepping the kids over to our old place to do yet more moving stuff.

Which we all loved.

Not.

I hate moving. The kids hate moving. It sucks, especially on a birthday.

However, the good news is that most of our crap precious belongings, are finally here, and we've settled in well to our new home and have bonded with the inhabitants. (A handful of pets came with the home, which to us is a bonus not a negative. Apparently, there are a couple of snakes about too, but thankfully, we haven't made their acquaintance yet.)

We still managed to have a fairly fun day, getting out and about, and even participating in a Christmas Carnival.

It was madness in this heat, and of course, I was the only one to get suburnt, despite liberally dousing myself in sunscreen. We had a late lunch/early dinner out before collapsing on the couch with the pets and watching Pokemon.

The kids then demanded massages since they were tired from their day out, which I grudgingly provided, whilst mumbling something about it being MY birthday, and surely I was the one who should have been massaged!

There was rainbow cake, which we made and iced together, and despite being a fully paid-up member of #TheBoombahClub, I actually allowed myself a piece. Delicious.

In all the madness, I still managed to draw the winner of the 'Search For Santa Paws' DVD giveaway.

It was Nadine, who now may actually get some peace when she's out shopping with her little ones, and they may stop pestering her for a copy.

Nadine, message me and I'll get your DVD off to you. Porter Novelli Australia Pty Limited, Aussie Mummy Bloggers, and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment are the kind people who donated the giveaway, so many thanks to them.

This week, I'll have another giveaway to announce, so stay tuned.

Now, where's my rainbow cake?

Forget her! Where's my Whiskas?
