Its a Wiggly 3rd Birthday!

Well what a full on day it has been today! It started with getting up early and celebrating William's 3rd birthday. It is so hard to beleive that 3 years ago that I was in a hospital popping a baby out! And popping is the word he came out so quick they nearly missed it!
Any way he was spoilt rotten as usual, with lots of Wiggles stuff and a sofa so he can do the typical boy thing and lay down and watch the telly at home!
After a boring breakfast of Weetbix and toast we packed ourselves into the car to drive out to meet the Wiggles before they performed their Wiggly Big Show in Hobart. It was such a great thing to actually meet them as the kids LOVE the Wiggles and are always watching and listening to their movies. We were only able to have our photos with the Wiggles as they didn't have time to do any signing which was a little dissapointing as we had brought a t'shirt and a card to have them sign so we could keep!

After our meeting with the Wiggles we went and found our seats and we were in the highest row possible in the DEC, but even though we were so far back it still was a good seat as we were very central with teh stage right in front so we could see everything. The Wiggles did a great show and the kids LOVED it! Will was a little shy to start with BUT after a few funny moments from Captain Feathersword it was all good! One sad part was that we were not able to sit all together, as Charlotte is in a wheelchair she had to sit in a different spot so Ryan sat with her closer to the front, we did communicate via phone and sign language however.












After the Wiggles finished we venture for a quick trip to Big W, the third time for me in two days (sad I know)! nd picked up some thongs for only $1. Amelia has a bit of an obsession with them and its always flogging ours, so now she has three pairs all of her own, not that she sisn't before but she now has different colours to wear around.


































































We then came back to Mum's and started making sanwiches for Will's little birthday party for family down in Hobart! It was actually not to bad as I had stayed up until after midnight last night to ice and decorate the cupcakes and enlisted Ryan and Mum to help wrap pass the parcel and make lolly bags up for me! Must say that with Mum doing the lollies I think a few might have gone missing as she is a lolly addict!
Well the party was scheduled to start at 2 BUT as usual family time would have it everyone rocked up at 2.30 so when we got started Will opened some pressies and then he had a play with his cousins. We then all went outside and had a game of pass the parcel and it was interesting watching Will as he thought that everytime the parcel came to him that he neede to open it he couldn't get the concept that he needed to wait for the music to stop! The winner was Henry who wa very excited to win a book and some bubbles. The kids were then able to make som Wiggle puppets and then put on a show for everyone, we just had some Wiggle music going and they had their puppets dancing to it. After some fun with this the food arrived and the kids ate mainly the popcorn and chips. The adults were more into the sammies, no one was that keen on the cocktails, hoever Amelia had eaten a big lunch so was not keen to eat with us more interested in watching a Video! After eats we had the birthday cakes's which were cupcakes some were iced in white chocolate gnache that was coloured the same as each of the Wiggles colours, and then the top two rows had a selection of teddy faces on them, including a very spunk pirate one and a little girl with a cute bow. After the cake we went on a treasure hunt around the front garden and found a stack of lollies which was fun and good to see that the kids all shared what they found so no one missed out and everyone got even amounts. We then had the piniata which was a little different to bashing it with a stick but the kids took turns pulling a groups of strings on at a time and the magic one would pop open the goodies! It was fun when everything fell out as the kids LOVED collecting all the lollies and toys to add to their already BIG stash of lollies! By this time it was time to go home so everyone got a lolly bag ( I know more lollies to rot their teeth) and went home to have a very good sleep! I must say that I am looking forward to having a good sleep tonight as I am stuffed from my 5.30 start and midnight to bed last night! And the best part of it all is that we are doing it all over tomorrow as Will's cousin is turning three tomorrow and having his birthday party! More lollies, cakes and the likes, bring it on!

What a GREAT day Ange! So cool you guys could meet the Wiggles. We were disappointed at the DEC that we also had to be split up to see the Wiggles because of the wheelchair seating. we were lucky in the end that we ended up all being able to sit there, and another year I went on my own with three boys so there was no way they could split us up.

Glad Will had such a great day!

It is a pain there with seating for wheelchairs. What is the seating like up at teh Silverdome? It sure was a great day and I think everyone slept well last night!
