I had a deja vu moment today. I had spent most of the weekend baking for Mum and Dad's party and I was making the icing for the last lot of cupcakes when Sam came into the kitchen and offered to help.

THIS is how Sam helps -



It brought a wistful smile to my face and had me searching through my old photo albums for this -



Some things in life just don't change that much - and I'm glad that they don't.

PS The party went pretty well. Mum was a little emotional before it started but then got it all together and I think she may have enjoyed herself. Dad definitely enjoyed himself. As a family we always over-cater and the food's always good so Dad's happy!

  4. Great photos. I suppose that means my kids will always be picking at food and stealing crumbs and leftovers like they do now. Glad the party was ok.
