Happy 7th Birthday Joe!

He really is growing up fast!  Literally sprouting and growing out of clothes at a rate of knots (well usually wearing them out).  We've been counting down the days and nights for some time now so the excitement was palpable!
The actual birthday was a Friday so we all had to get up early for present opening before school.  He took in some cakes for break time and had a great day as the centre of attention.  We were even blessed????? with the class rabbit to entertain for the weekend.  This is a soft toy that comes home with each child.  They then have to write and put pictures in it's diary and present an oral report too.  Hope this explains the rabbit in some of these pictures!
On Saturday the family came over for lunch so Joe added even further to his pile of presents.  He had enough Lego to build our new house, a scooter and a Top Trumps special edition Star Wars game.  
Sunday was the big day and luckily the forecast was for fine weather.  A relief because his last 2 birthdays here have been wet.  We had taken the risk of booking an outdoor activity and were hoping we could confine the boys to the garden when we got back!!!!

7 boys loaded into our truck and we headed out to 'Tanks for Everything'.  As the pictures show we all had a great time!
Primed and ready for action

Attention!

Just call me Commander Joe

Happy in his job

Heavy!

Glorious mud

Beautiful day

Opening a can of worms?

Just before the off

I'm a big boy - really!

That rabbit!

Concentrating...

No windows & no eyes !
 When we got home, the boys ate chicken nuggets and chips.  Then we had a massive water bomb fight. The boys absolutely loved it and made the most of the barricades we had camo painted and erected in the garden.  After the water fight the plastic guns came out and they ran around like mad things.


sound effects needed

Water bomb fight - kids LOVED it!

Put out that fire!
Last - was the tank cake with its flaming gun!  What a great party!!!!!!!
