Here's some shots from Sam's fourth birthday party yesterday. 
The kids loved the bouncy castle we hired from this place. It was great entertainment for the kids. We were so lucky with the weather as only 36 hours beforehand we had a big storm come through with winds approaching 200 kph in parts of the region. Fortunately all that we last was a lemon tree. 
Sam has been counting down the days with much excitement for about the last ten days. He would proudly come out of his bedroom each morning announcing how many more sleeps till his birthday. He's so excited to be a big four year old now. It must be a big thing for a kid to no longer be a little three year old!
After the party we had a relaxing afternoon at home, putting together all the new lego. We ended the day by deciding to go out for a meal to our local Speights Ale House. The boys ordered fish and chips and by the time Sam had finished his all he wanted to do was sleep. We were not even half way through our meals and Sam was asleep in Michelle's arms. It was enough for Michelle to shed a tear or two as she could not believe her baby was now a big four year old.
Here's one more shot of the boys that I love. Jack had a crazy hair day for the last day of the school term the other week and Sam thought he would join in the fun. Jack's fat lip is the result of a collision at school with another kid.
Week three of my recovery programme as been a little uneventful. I missed my Thursday aqua running session due to the party and then decided on a sleep in this morning rather than my weights, opting to make up for it with the aqua running at lunch time today.
Looks like it will be a frosty start to the morning for Jack's Soccer tomorrow.
Happy running, have good weekend.

Looks and sounds like a great party. The kids sure do grow up fast.
How great is that?! My twins turn four in September, so I know what you mean about them taking every little milestone as huge.
Cute pics - thanks for sharing.
Sam is right, four does sound a lot more grown up than three!
Betcha the kids wished that bouncing castle was a permanent fixture in the back yard.
Ah, lego - my nephew had about 5 million pieces. I think at 11 he's finally grown out of it.
Nice to see blue sky and white clouds in the land of the long black cloud. I bet the fush and chups went down well ;)
Good win to the All Blacks - well done.
Hey, I still like those bouncy castles and I'm not even a kid anymore (though my wife would like to argue with that statement.) Looked like a great party and glad all you lost was a lemon tree. :)
Happy birthday Sam! He's looking very grown up and big for 4. Good luck on the continued recovery.
Thanks for stopping by!!! ;D
*sigh* *sniffle* I know how sad it is to see them grow so quick. Before you know it divers licenses and dates will come (oh no)
I totally agree with Scott!! I'm all about those little bouncy castles! IN fact most of the toys we have for the kids are for my amusement more than anything else LOL
Recoveries are supposed to be "uneventful" ... good luck with the soccer! You are certainly on the right side of the planet to be playing soccer this time of the year. It's blinding hot here.
