What a lovely weekend:
Chilling on Friday night with Emily
If we hide my garden under the table, Sethie won't get it!
Mummy if I draw something will you put it on my t-shirt!
This is the first time Sethie has played alongside me as I worked - it was truly lovely!
We love our t-shirts mummy!
Rocking!
I just happened to have a converstion with Ali the other day about getting my boys to eat noodles and look what loveliness arrived in the post:
Two sets of kids 'peglike' chopsticks - what a lovely, lovely surprise when you get such a sunny and thoughtful package in the post.
Noah still isn't convinced by noodles and Seth refused them until I feed him with the chopsticks!
Thanks Ali
I have a list of things to do and presents to make as long as my arm and haven't been able to get round to doing any of them.
Eleanor - look away now!!
However finally today a creative bug bit me and here is my WIP for today - a little birthday present for a lovely little girl who I definitely don't see often enough. I can't believe that she is about to turn 4! Holly used to live literally up the road from us in Rothley and both mums and babes developed such a lovely friendship. We have both moved away now but keep in touch as often as possible (which is never often enough). Where did those lovely, mad baby days go?
Hope to get this in the post in the next couple of days.
As we didn't have any time to ourselves as our little foursome over the Christmas holidays - we have been trying to have special weekends. So last Saturday we took them off to the aquarium which is set in a tiny little seaside village - which is about a 45 minute drive away from where we live. They had a ball - they both just love it there and were so excited. Off course the obligatory ice-creams were eaten and some borrowing of rowing oats was undertaken - here are some of my favourite pics of the day, whilst I try to drag myself into a creative 2007!
And like so many others in blogland, I am trying to be more creative with my cooking this year. We got a great cookbook from my brother-in-law this year - wagamama - not one I might have bought myself but the recipes are great - and here is the evidence - Andy - that I have started uing it already. Unfortnately the pic doesn't do it justice but my Green Thai chicken noodles were delish!!
...over 20 days since my last post!
Christmas and New Year just took over - and now I find myself in the familiar place of having so many things to blog that I don't know where to start.
We had a lovely Christmas - the boys just had a fab time with family and gifts but it was hugely busy and I think I am just beginning to have it catch up on me. We had in-laws to stay for two weeks, a kids Christmas party for the boys, lots of crafting and baking, Seth's baptism and los of family get togethers - so now I am just taking a much needed breather.
I have been enjoying the last few days of holiday with the boys before Noah returns to nursery on Monday. We have gone swimming, kiddie's play. lots of play dates, lovely lunches out and the aquarium - all with no time restrictions which has been just lovely.
Anyway - will get back in the swing properly this coming week!
