Monday, Monday

Well, we had a fabby weekend. So much fun and most importantly, lots of photo opportunities, lol!! We went to Jumping Jacks (which is a soft play place that Ethan loves) and yesterday, despite the weather, we went for a picnic. We had soooo much fun at the park, down on the beach, exploring the old castle. E was a star and I even managed go get him to eat a roll with 'magic' butter and pickle. The magic butter was dairylee. He wont eat cheese, so i have been trying for ages to sneak different foods into him and this seemed to work well.

Today my April kit arrived from Cleo, it is a canvas kit. I am really looking forward to doing it, as I have 3 blank canvas' that i want to do something with, so hopefully this will be a good starting point.

It was so nice yesterday to have an hour extra daylight (despite the hour less in bed!!) and it felt like spring is finally here, hopefully we will have lots of lovely long days, so we can have much more exploring and fun in the sunshine.

Here are some pictures from Sunday, am just trying to decide which ones to scrap first!! I said we could do some baking laeter, so I need to go and prepare for the chaos in the kitchen.....

Fun, fun, fun

Well it is now officially the Easter holidays ... so I am busy thinking up fun things to occupy Ethan!!

Jay has just arrived, as she is spending the weekend with us... so before we get down to finger painting and baking, here is the Lo i was working on last night and finished this afternoon. I love these pictures, it was Ethan's first attempt at helping Daddy clean the car ... think more of the water ended up in his wellies than on the car, lol!!

Lady-boy ...

Hee hee - just had great fun playing with pink stash this afternoon, which is something i pretty much never do!! There is a competition to use up your boy stuff to scrap your girls or your girls stuff to scrap your boys... so i decided to dig out my gathering dust pink stash...

Here is a sneak peek as I am not sure if I can show the full LO as it is a competition??!! This was great fun, and I really enjoyed working with pink ... must buy more pink stash, lol!!

Something you should NEVER do ....

Is look in a magnified mirror .... ohh what a shock ... it was a horrid sight ... oh do I look that old??

I don't really wear make up, so hardly ever peer at my face closely, but i needed to do some eyebrow maintenance (there is Greek blood in my family to dark hair is a by product, lol!) and what a fright I got.

After a little 'oh i am so old, look at Ethan's lovely youthful skin' thoughts to myself, on went the superbalm concentrate, moisturiser and eye serum and then quickly drank my third of this mornings glasses of water. What else can I do?? Face lift, botox?? Maybe just not look in a magnified mirror, lol!!

But it has made determined to stick to this detox/'best life' thingy ... still no alcohol (I am not going to drink until i got out for my Cousin's birthday meal on 11th April), still no more than 2 cups of coffee, still been having at least 6 8oz glasses of water a day ... But the eating breakfast thing, I keep forgetting to do that (well since i ran out of Greek yogurt).

I think I need some sun, that will help!!! Hee hee!

Play date .....

I have just had a play date ... rather odd for a 32 year old woman!

But my play date was with Cody, the yummy new paper from the Love Elsie range. I had some photos of E playing with his new football and the papers worked so well. I love her paper range and obviously since there is one called Emma coming soon, I will just have to buy that too!!

Ive been watching the most cheesy film on Diva, but need to get some beauty sleep now.
Night all
em xx

Still Snowing!

It has been snowing on and off all weekend (but it is more like someone is sieving icing sugar from my roof!!), but despite that E had a great time with his Daddy, here are a few of the funny photos of their time ... (here you go Jay!)

Easter wildlife!

Ohh eat your heart out David Attenborough, I have managed to capture a photo of the illusive Easter Bunny ....! As I promised Ethan I would try and get a photo of him, I sat for hours in my hide with the binoculars and just when i was about to give up, i snapped this shot .. You can just see his tail .... hee hee heee. The things a mother will do!
