Fun, fun, fun!

As promised the Easter photos -

Isaac enjoying a hot cross bun!

Lucas mixing the chocolate and shreddied wheat for the chocolate birds nests.

Lucas spoons in the mixture and Isaac finishes with the mini eggs. Granny giving some words of encouragement.

Ta da! The finished nests, didn't they do a good job? They were so yummy and as we made them on Grandmas Birthday we thought it only right to treat her to a few along with a meal at Zizi's.

Also better late than never some photos from my trip to London with the girls. Emma, Pippa and me waiting for the tube - we had to do something to pass the time. Being goofy seem liked a good idea. Pippa is such a poser! I think she spends hours practicing in the mirror. I took the photo so I assume that is my concentration face.

On public transport on the way to Wagamama's.

At Wagamama's - yum! This is one of my fav places to eat, if you haven't tried it you need to.

I Have the whole weekend in pictures, but didn't want to bore you with them all. I was planning on putting a DVD together. I have photos of the front door, Lindsay answering the door.... you get the picture.

Off to Skeg in the morning, I just hope the weather at least stays dry.

Pay It Forward.....

I have joined this thing called pay it forward. For those of you who don't know, this is how it works - the first three people to leave a comment will receive a fab hand made gift from me!

All you have to do is leave a comment. Once you have left your comment do a "pay it forward post" as soon as you can. Then continue the gift giving to the first three people to comment on your blog.  I've signed up for one on Emma's blog. 

Its such a great idea.

Face-lift complete!! Well probably

I wish I wasn't so god damn indecisive! Well this is what I have come up with, after lots and lots (as I said I am indecisive) of swapping and changing. I think I may have to update my banner and as I feel it could coordinate better. I may also play with the text colour some more.

Well what do you think? I'd love to know. Good or bad it all helps. I hope to post the pics of London and the boys enjoying Easter tomorrow, then its off to Skeg for a few days.

Bunting for boys!

 As people said they liked the idea, would stock it in their shop and my eldest said he would like some for his room. Here it is! It is so bright and cheerful - look how well it goes with the boys room.

When I showed it to Isaac my 2 year old he said "Wow!". I think that means he likes it. Whats not to like? Robots, lightning flashes, red, turquoise......

I have listed it in the Etsy shop already and will pop it in the Folksy shop later today.

I'll write again in a few days, I have some fab Easter photos of the boys to share with you. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, I love reading them and hearing what you guys think. Wishing you all a wonderful and chocolate filled Easter.
