Early birthday celebrations!

We had one of those today. For me.... Yet again I'm officially 25! Nah.... not really but who's counting after the age of 25. I'm certainly not! Family came around for brunch and cake, we had a lovely time. The real birthday is Tuesday where my mum joins us for dinner. We all watch the football together after dinner, the princess and the little man in bed snoring. Denmark are playing and it's a big game. Yes, we're a football loving family and luckily it's all of us so no one complains.

Denmark got the best fans or defo the most creative!

 Drawing made by the little man!

Magic.

The little man and the princess love magic. Their daddy loves showing them magic and so far they are convinced he is magic. Well, nearly because the smile on the princess' face tells me otherwise but good as she is, she's not telling her little brother (or her daddy). This morning while they were having breakfast, the princess was letting the little man believe he was magic. The screams of joy were a delight to listen to at 7am and the pride on the princess' face when she gave me a knowing smile and a wink, was priceless. Then my heart sunk a bit because how do I break the news to their daddy, that his princess knows the truth.... He'll defo deny it and find excuses. Maybe it'll just stay between me and her. The little man still firmly believe his daddy is magic so he'll has to settle with that. I dread when the princess and the little man stop believing in the Tooth fairy and Santa. It will break their daddy's heart. Maybe I'll get them to pretend for his sake!

Argh... just lost an hour of my life.

Actually not really but sure feels like it. I left the house an hour too early to pick up the little man and the princess. Worst part of that or should I say the most embarrassing part, was that it took so long to realise, I was an hour ahead of everybody in the country. One thing is picking the little man up early from nursery, but picking up the princess an hour too early from school is sooooo embarrassing. And only realising it as her nice cool teacher invites the little man and me in to the class (luckily it's playtime) is just too much. Well, good part was I got to draw all the princess' little friends castles! (and no, I'm not that good at drawing). The cool and nice teacher then sits with me to chat, saying it's so nice of me to come and stay a bit and the princess can go home early. Do I lie? Pretend to be such a good mummy I just thought I'd be coming early today to draw lots of castles? I felt I had to admit I messed up the time, and that I'm not a 'Supermum'!
It feels like I've lost an hour, but I guess I can wait to the end of month. I'll get it back then when the clocks change or does it not really work like that? Either way, hour lost or gone, it feels weird..... Anybody tried it?

A little man and his lunch box!

Today the little man has to stay at home because he has a temperature and a little bit of a sore throat. His appetite is the same though, and why not have his lunch from his lunch box now it is prepared anyway!

Saturday at school, a great finish to a week all about well-being.

This last week at the princess' school there hasn't been any "normal" school days. The whole school has worked across the years in groups, the theme all about Well-being. Today it was the big finale and we all went to see what the princess had been up to the last week. Her job today was giving hand-massage to who ever wanted it. The cream used was the good old dark blue Nivea, which never quite managed to soak completely into the skin, leaving greasy and shiny hands! Never-the-less the queue was long and the princess might have a career in a beauty salon in the future.... Who knows?

There were lots of other things to do as well. Painting little pictures which will be put together to one big art display hung up in the school.

The highlight was defo the big finale show which finished off a fantastic Saturday morning. All the children in the school had been practicing Stomp (you know, the drumming on buckets and making noises with brooms etc.) So everyone from age 5 to 16 was making "organised noise" for 10 minutes using empty bottles, empty cans, cans with rice in and buckets. It was brilliant (despite the princess' not so smiley face!)

We decided to finish a busy, lovely Saturday off with a great meal at our favourite restaurant Bones (courtesy of Nana & Papa!) We all love the food there. The little man and the princess especially enjoyed the ice cream they created themselves.
