Jack’s 12th Birthday

So this was Jack’s Birthday weekend and he made the most of it! he’s such a lovely lad he really is, lives life so fully.

On Friday we went to Aylesbury Theatre and watched the Mousetrap with Mum and Derek and it was really enjoyable. The kids liked it and it was a pleasant evening. Made us quite proud to hear Charlotte and Jack discussing it and Jack say that he preferred Shakespeare…not many 12 years old would say that I doubt!

Saturday was his birthday and I took him and three friends (William, Stefan and Ben) to paintballing in Reading. We were there from 9.15am until 3.30pm and it was a fantastic day, we all had a fabulous time. Well worth it and they were so well behaved and disciplined with not spending too much money, that’s the one drain on things is the amount it costs for the paint. We were all buzzing afterwards though, really good fun.

We then went to Sue’s in the evening and had dinner and made a fuss of Jack

Sunday we had football in the morning and lost to Rotherfield 4-3, Jack played well and handed out chocolate afterwards and then Mum and Derek came up for lunch, they’d watched and enjoyed the game, there was plenty happening in it!

He’s gone to William’s this evening as they have an Inset Day tomorrow so he’s going to the cinema as well.

He’s had a great birthday and really appreciates it all and kept saying so, like I said, he’s a lovely lad.
