And for the first time ever, we celebrated a birthday while being away… Hood 5 had a birthday while we were hiking our way through the Karoo. Gotta say, how did we manage that, with ten birthdays a year. In fact when it comes to birthdays, we are in that sweet spot where everyone has had their’s for the year and we realised that we have celebrated: 21 + 19 + 17 + 15 + 14 + 12 + 10 + 9 = 117 kids’ birthdays… that’s a whole lot of birthdays and no wonder our celebrations are ridiculously simple!!!

And that’s a wrap for birthday season 2018!!!
Happy belated birthday to the celebrity chef!
I’m kind of shocked/ horrified at the 117 kids’ birthdays… It’s scary seeing that number like that. I’m going to give it to my kids for Maths practice 🙂
Thank you Marcia, and yup… its a thing, that I hadn’t really thought about before!!! Just a little crazy isn’t it!!! Hope you have a great weekend!!!
