If you can’t
dodge them dodgems
bumper to bumper action.
If you can’t
dodge them birthdays
he’s 12, I’m 12 plus
whatever!
If you can’t
beat them, join them,
If you can’t
let your hair down for a day
then you’re in the wrong lane,
move over,
I’m with the birthday kid,
If you can’t
race dodgems,
– then you can have your cake but can’t eat it.

It was Michael’s birthday on Friday and he turned twelve!
Happy birthday Michael xxxx
We’ve had the best few days (we’re making it a birthweek so it lasts a long time) and yesterday went on the dodgems – what a hoot (especially with all that loud music).

PS – I love dodgems, speed and want to race around a track somewhere for my birthday in a couple of weeks (and I’m 4x your age plus 1 – tell your Mum there’s really no need to grow up)
October 2, 2012 at 3:44 pm
hey, if you are ever up this way we will hit the dodgems – haha – there is a place in Bundy that has dodgems but never has many people – so it is even more fun with heaps of space 😉 do the racing thing bb and enjoy that birthday – yayayay!

Happy Birthday to Michael. What a week of celebrations he must have had, & what a way to make a young man feel the very special person that he is.

Thanks Jane 🙂 I can’t believe he is 12!

Hope Michael’s birthday was something to remember.

He had a ball so I think it’s fair to say he will remember the week for quite a while Renee 🙂
