Sean the drummer

Sean's birthday part 2

Today we celebrated Sean's real birthday. He is four. Can you beleive it?
Friends and family came over and Sean got a lot of presents.
Lots of Lego, a fireman outfit, a drumset (thank you Lindha), colouring-books, Power Rangers, toy cars and more. I can't remember it all.
Mammy and daddy enjoyed the Lego most while the pour kid had to sit and watch them build it.In fairness it was a little too advanced for Sean to build but the "big kids" had more fun than Sean for a little while. In the end he got his police station, garage and prison and he was very happy.

And the winner is.........

Is it possible to catch "the luck of the Irish"??

Since I moved to Dublin I have managed to win a number of competitions in work.

Today I won a dinner for two in the Hilton Hotel + a €50 voucher. Incredible.

The funny thing is that I won it for guessing how many hours of sun Dublin would have on a certain date. I mean, it takes a positive mind to give the answer I did (I guessed 12 hours in one day) and we actually had 10,7 hours of sun that day. Who would even think that is possible in Dublin? I must have had help from some strange positive power. Maybe a little green man wispered in my ear? It felt good anyway to win.

Scary Gary

On Sunday night we all went to see "Critic" where Gary is the lead singer. As you can see from the above pictures he looked scary with his face covered in black facepaint. Did he get inspired by the kids yesterday?????

Anyway, as a first gig for the band they were impresssive with their unique style of music and stage performance.

Gary's lyrics are brilliant (and I'm not just saying that because he's family) and the guys look confident on stage. There are some great musicians here.

The little hick-ups weren't noticible to those who did not know what was to happen, and the gig went down well with the crowd.

Looking forward to the next one.

Sean's birthday part 1

On Saturday Sean invited his friends from the creche to celebrate his birthday (it's really on Wednesday).

There were nine kids + Nate in the house, and my godness you could hear it.

Alan and Shelley came over and helped out with the kids who played fotball outside on the grass and then got their faces painted.

After (and partly during) the facepainting, Gary read them the story about "Charlie stinky socks" and they all laughed really hard at that story.

They then had some snacks and cake and the house was very quiet again, until the very loud Nate started crying for food.
