Happy Birthday Mum!!

My mum turned 50 yesterday...and celebrated in style!! We went down for 5 days to help her prepare and organise a 'Hippy' themed party. DH and I dressed up and went way out with wigs even!! No photos yet as I forgot to take my camera...soooo unlike me!! I finished her '50 years' photo album and it was well recieved, thank goodness!! It only took 8 months worth of work and 172 pages!! plus a little bit more money than we planned to spend...oh well it was worth it!

After a very very slack month as a blogger I will try and to get some more posts online in October!! It is the start of the final term at school and so will be a very busy one!! I will do my best!'

Here is a pic for this post....I came home to find these blooming in my garden...I though I would miss out on seeing them while we were away but there are even a few buds still left to open.

Welcome home - I'd been wondering where you were. Those roses are beautiful! How's your hexagon quilt coming along? I'm cutting more squares for my one-of-everythign quilt, and keep coming across pieces with a square cut for your hexagons! We didn't hear much about it this winter.

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
