My son – receiving a busary for his school studies.
Wonder where that smart-mouth comes from?
Imogen attempts to blow out the candles and Joseph misses out on blowing out the last candle. Instructions fly left, right and centre.
Is it any wonder I’m slightly insane…?

I couldn’t quite work out what Pip said… I like *something* and I also like money?
The birthday cake scene fairly par for the course though, I’m always having to bat off the lolly-thieves hovering around trying to nick the smarties while everyone’s attention is on the candle-blower
“I like school and I also like money.” The mumbling gene is straight from his father…
Tracey, my son would be – “you can’t give me enough money to make me like school ” Pip is awesome !!! Hi Pip !!!
The social aspect of schooling should not be under-estimated in forming Pip’s attitude to education…
PS Pip says, “Hi, Jodie.” (but with fewer !! than yours – he’s a teenaged boy)
Congratulations Pip. You and I have something in common…I like money too. 🙂
Poor Joseph. Candle-blowing really is a team effort these days isn’t it? I am constantly amazed at how many kids get in there and the official blower doesn’t seem to mind.
I would. It’s my cake. My candles. Bugger off. But that’s just me I guess…
In a big, noisy family the opportunity to do anything alone is rare.
And only slightly (ever so slightly) proud? Great achievements, patcher people!
Proud enough to keep a video record for all time…
