11th birthday !

Ollie had a TERRIBLE SWEATY PARTY … I’m acting like I was one shooting people and running about with those paint ball guns . I wasn’t as I took Joe out for treats because you have to be 10 to play this particular paintball dooodahhhhh . A wise move by Ollie , no little brother or sister to interfere with your party plans . Jim and his baby brother were team leaders , I wouldn’t trust that pair with a pet snail let alone 18 lads all aged around 11 . Absolute CHAOS. Jojo and I came back in time for the pizza delivery and cake , plus I did some tidying up .
Photo is birthday boy and George a family friend , his mum was a the lady I went in the giant swan with a couple of weeks ago .
Hard today as Ollie’s dad was still alive for his birthday last year , it’s the firsts isn’t it … the first of everything is hardest , another hurdle . I know they’ll have many more x
