Now I am six (Pumpkin)

Today is Pumpkin's (aka Asher Matthew Timothy aka Roo) sixth birthday.Six years ago today at 40 weeks + 3 days at 2.07am Pumpkin was born, the first child to be born in our house, our first home birth.

Last year we all dressed up and went to Fisher's Farm for the day. This year we held a fancy dress party at the weekend and then spent today, his actual birthday, at Fisher's Farm  (his choice.)

Everyone invited to the party dressed up, we had; farmers and romans and cats, there was superman, power rangers, spiderman and superwoman, along with a fairy, princess and robot. On the games itinerary there was apple bobbing, sweets hidden in flour, decorating gingerbread men, pin the button on R2D2, dress the teddy and pass the parcel. 

There aren't any photos of our trip to Fisher's Farm as mummy's phone is broken but we spent a long while on the go-carts, trampolining, playing crazy golf, playing cannon shooting, the children each rode the horse, played on the ride on tractors, enjoyed the tractor ride and had a brief slide indoors. Mostly we were outdoors today (for 4 1/2 hours) It was a two pairs of socks, thermal vest, hat, gloves, snowboot, crack the ice sort of day but the need for sunglasses seemed to help! 

Pumpkin continues to love butterflies and baking, robots and lego, he has interests in light and shadows, and how the body works. He loves his family most of all and enjoys playing with each of his siblings. The day is not complete without a cuddle with Pippin and teaching her a new word or song. He loves to move about, mostly bouncing and running and twirling but being upside down or fiddling with lego will do. He doesn't stop moving for about 12-14 hours from when he gets up in the morning. He loves to eat...constantly. His favourite things are pancakes, granny smith apples, toast with spread, ham and cucumber sandwiches, prawn cocktail crisps, haribo, soup, muffins, sausages, broccoli and more.

For his sixth birthday he got a remote control car, solar powered robot, walkie talkies and several boxes of lego.
