Birthdays galore!!!!! June 11, 2008

It was both Boys Birthday last week.
We had planned on buying them both bikes but at the last minute got a phonecall from my Dad saying THEY had bought them for them!
Fantastic!
Trying not to be angry about the fact that they had bought something that we had only been discussing buying with my mum a week or so before, Karl then had the idea that we could buy them helmets erm no!
Grandads bought them.After coming up with numerous ideas then realising that the same Grandma and Grandad had already them or something similar in the past, we ended up having to settle on a magnadraw each and some walkie talkie sets. Exciting eh?
Next year Im going to go mad if they dont run thier presents by us first, I appreciate that they like us to be suprised by them too, but There’s nothing worse than everyone asking what your buying the kids and then looking at you like your a cheap skate because you bought them something really crappy compared to Grandma and Grandad’s present.
At least the kids are impressed though!
Dont get me wrong, Im not ungrateful, just wound up that yet again we’ve been outshne in the present department! All the kids talk about is the present Grandma and Grandad have bought and Im finding it really difficult not to get upset over the fact that our presents are being ignored.
Other than that the birthdays went well.On Jacks birthday we went for lunch with my mum and vicky at the garden centre next door to her work. Then went shopping with vicky into Sutton and had a visit from Karls mum in the afternoon.
In the evening My Mum and Dad arrived with the bikes.

After half an hour or so, we went on a huge walk with the dog round Brierly.
(Im going to have to finish updating this later, kids are awake and its like world war three in here!!!!!)
I feel for you.
My mum always used to over buy for my kids after we moved “Up North” and so they would have more presents from GM + GD than from Santa, not to mention the pittance that we were laying claim to.
She seems to have got the message now (after a number of awkward conversations).
Grandparents … Don’t you just love ‘em
