A week goes by

For the first time since starting this blog there has been no post for a week. Memo to S- lift your game and get back to blogging! This time of year TeamSAK has a number of family birthdays to celebrate so plenty of ideas for future blogs!

Kingsley turned 8. On Saturday instead of a party she enjoyed a friendship afternoon with a few friends, watched a DVD, ate homemade popcorn and Drumstick ice creams, made their own healthy pizzas for a gourmet dinner followed by the obligatory ice cream birthday cake. We intend to do more of these extended playdate afternoons with more friends before Christmas.
On Sunday morning we celebrated the combined birthday of Kingsley's aunt, twin cousins T1 and T2 as well as her own. Their brother TB joined us but slept on the floor after only getting in from a nightclub at 7 am that morning. Of course the start of daylight saving and putting clocks forward an hour didn't help either. Oh to be young again!
The afternoon was set aside for S's side of the family to celebrate Kingsley turning the big 8. All in all a big weekend of family gatherings and far too much rich food but it was so good to be able celebrate and make the event special for Kingsley.

Happy Birthday Kingsley. 8 is a big year! Sigh, I can remember being excited when I turned TEN and left the single digits behind. How I wish I could go back some days.

Happy Birthday again Kingsley! If you've gone into 'summer time'and an hour forward & we in the UK have gone into 'daylight saving' - ie an hour back - does that mean we're 11hrs different?
