On October 30, Halloween, we held Darren's party ( a week earlier but no one cared).
Leading up to the party, we decorated up Unit 6 with a gigantic orange spider web on the ceiling and lots of spiders, bats, coffins and skeletons. Even the lighting was spooky. I coloured in the light globes so that they gave off a red glow. Everyone came dressed as a spooky character - we had Draculas, pumpkins, ghosts, murdered victims, witches, black widows and I went dressed as the devil.
I made a pinata that looked like a ghost and we had lots of party games and lots of food to go with the Halloween theme.

Justin's 9th Birthday
For Justin's 9th birthday we had it outdoors at a park which had ramps, a skateboarding and rollerblading course as well as a bicycle path.
I organised all the party games but got so involved with face painting that Lily had to take over.
Lots of races for the kids as well as adults. Prizes galore, a pinata and a "South Park" Kenny cake which I made.

Karate
I'm taking karate lessons on Wednesday nights and I've got a green belt now, with still a couple of lessons needed before I can grade up to Blue Belt.
The lessons are in a school hall in Mortdale.

Kaylene's 4th Birthday
We had a fancy dress party for Kaylene's 4th birthday.
She really wanted a fairy costume while we were in Coffs Harbour, so we put it to good use on her birthday. I went dressed as Pocahontas, while others came as hula dancers, cowboys, cooks, basketball players, etc. I made her a fairy cake.

Coolangatta, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie 1998
January, we spent three weeks up the coast.
In Coolangatta, we went to Dream World, Warner Bros Movie World, and lots of shopping. At least 18 of us.
We celebrated Nathan's birthday on the Gold Coast by going out to dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.
In Coffs Harbour, it was less hectic and more relaxing. There were 9 of us. The Boambee Bay Resort where we stayed is situated next to a river that flows out into the ocean. We went canoeing, fishing, beachcombing and lots of swimming in the resort pool. It was here that Kaylene (4) learnt to swim without her floaties for the first time.
Then in Port Macquarie we were down to just Janet and I. Lily, mark and the kids had to go back for school. We had a quiet realxing time, fishing at Dunbogan and walking the beaches of Port Macquarie.
