Mac's 6th birthday

I uploaded these pics off my camera straight after Mac's birthday & have been trying to figure out how to get the ones off my phone since then, but it's now 3 weeks later & I haven't had any luck figuring out why it just won't do it anymore, so I'm just gonna post these pics before Mac turns 7 instead!

This was my handsome little birthday boy on the way to school that morning. We had gone to the supermarket the afternoon before to choose his birthday lunch & he'd chosen Doritos, little jelly crocodiles & those Roadies shapes crackers. Lame choices if you ask me, but he was so happy to get to pick his own lunch for a change so that was 

cool :) Man, I love this little guy xoxo

Oh & the hat was one of his birthday pressies. We actually only got him two things this year - the hat & a $20 credit for the app store so he could choose some paid games for his ipad for a change!

After school we picked him up & went down to Marlborough Park for a rip around (the skate bowl down there is always his fave) & then it was off to Burger Fuel for his birthday dinner (his choice). I can't say I'm surprised he didn't choose one of my yummy healthy home cooked meals for his special day & I probably should've been offended lol, but it's always so nice not to have to cook for a change, so Burger Fuel was all good with me!

His volcano cake was looking all good until I did the lava part & then that was a bit runnier than it was supposed to be, so things got a little bit messy.... but it was filled with chocolate ganache so it actually tasted great! How could it not be with that inside right?!!.....And the little birthday boy was stoked with it, so that's the main thing!

Grandie came over for cake too so the boys had a blast with him, playing around & having tickles. I'm so glad they have their special Grandie close by! I only wish they had Grandma Julie here to spoil them too!!

We love you our precious Mac & are so proud of the big boy you're becoming. It's so cool to see you learning & growing so quickly now that you're at school & we can't wait to see what the next year will bring! x

My big boy's turning 6 tomorrow!!!

Feeling a little bit sad tonight cause my precious little Maccy that used to look like this....

is turning the big 6 tomorrow....& when I look at that picture above I just don't know where the years have gone!!! Wish I could just reach into it right now & have a cuddle of the little Mac he used to be :( Wasn't he just the cutest!!!

I'm so eternally grateful that I get to be his Mummy <3 He drives me around the bend & back each & every single day, but I love that boy of mine to pieces & I wouldn't trade him for the world!! 

This afternoon we went to the supermarket together so he could pick a special birthday lunch for tomorrow & on the way there he was all anxious saying "Man I just don't know what I'm gonna get when I turn 16, a car or a motorbike??!" I just don't know which one to get?? What do you think Mum? What would you choose? lol" 

In my mind I was just cracking up thinking "oh Mac you're too cute! You have no concept of time or how far away your 16th birthday is. You really don't need to stress about this now, cause you've got ages to decide - and the answer will most definitely be a car - a motorbike is not even an option!" ....but then at the same time I had to remind myself that 6 has come around quick enough & I really need to make a conscious effort to make the most of every day, cause otherwise 16 will be here before we know it :( 

So for now my gorgeous almost 6 year old, let me tell you 6 of the reasons why we adore you....

1. You have the most beautiful smile

2. You always want to be the best at anything you do

3. You're always up for any activity with the family (& we hope you'll always stay that way & never get too cool to hang out with us!)

4. You're full of fun & larger than life

5. You're the best sleeper!

6. You give the best cuddles & kisses xoxo

Happy birthday for tomorrow precious boy! We can't wait to have a super fun day with you xxx
