Lucas' early Birthday party

Due to the fact that we will be permanently relocated to Melbourne by the time Lucas' fifth birthday rolls around, we thought it might be a good idea to have an early birthday party, so that we could still scam a bundle of presents off his Sydney friends. Lucas was very keen to have a "pirate" party (mainly so he could dress up), so that was what we went with.


In an all-too-typical display of laziness, Mum and Dad once again had the event hosted at a play centre, this time a nice place in Five Dock called Corner Cubbyhouse. Lots and lots of gear to run, bounce and play on, the kids all had a ball. After an initial free-play session, we all got called into the party room, and Lucas got to sit on his throne, and officiate at the banquet. Everyone had a fantastic time. All Lucas' friends from mother's group were there, as well as some from child care.


Alicia was a teensy bit high maintenance, but not too bad overall. We suspect that those two-year-old molars are starting to cause trouble, but it could simply be that she is wasting no time getting stuck into the "terrible twos" phase of her life.
