Ethans 8th Birthday in Oldis Gardens Neighbourhood House, Westgarth
Ethan’s 8th birthday: Guitar Hero, 3 legged Races, Haunted House Cake, pin the sunglasses on the Elvis, Pinata. They were like wild animals. There were 10 of em. Lawdy, we almost died.
Star Power.
Ethan came back to school after a week and a half off in Far North Queensland. When he entered his grade three class, they were all very excited to see him back, and there was a lot of hugging.
“That was nice”, says Anthony, his grade 2 class teacher.
“I always make time for my fans.” says Ethan.
I know! But I swear every word of this is true.
The Echidna birthday cake
Baa?? Another improvement to the canon of English Literature by Lucinda.
“Blah Blah Black Sheep,
have you any wool?”
Journey to Hinchinbrook
A long, fabulous day. Ethan & Lucinda caught a fish each, and Ethan was allowed to drive this … As you can see, he was pretty relaxed about it after a fifteen minutes or so …
Fire!
Ethan had a visit from Fire-twirlers on his birthday! Some new friends of ours came by after sunset and gave us our own personal performance. Thanks so much to Warwick, Amanda and Kerrie. Wow.
Ethan’s 8th: a big day for the lil fella.
Woke Up,
saw a frog,
Got lots of presents,
my mum made me a card with a green tree frog on it,
Went to a tropical beach and swam with face-mask & flippers for the first time,
my front tooth fell out in the water,
came back home,
had a party with a choc-chip ice-cream cake that looked like an echidna,
and marshmallows, and chocolate biscuits, and chips,
had half a bottle of ginger beer,
had a proper country milkshake (chocolate), made in an aluminium cup,
went to the pool,
had KFC,
had a Golden Gaytime icecream,
came home to another party,
had more presents,
and another cake,
set off party poppers,
ate 4 kit kats,
a band of fire twirlers arrived and performed specially for me for half an hour,
threw up.
Perfect.
