Siblings!

A week of sunshine!

The Motte and Bailey.

My in-laws run a pub now. It's in the village where they live and the whole family help out there. I can't wait for the Christmas holiday when we come over and can be a part of the village pub life, and I'd love to have Christmas dinner there. The daddy can do a shift or two behind the bar, maybe I can do a sign even though uncle's signs are really cool! The princess and the little man can help Nana in the kitchin by making a mess... Anyway, here's some pictures of the pub and if you're passing through Pirton, Hertfordshire, do pop in please and say hi from me!

What do you think?

Finally....

Summer is here! Lets make the most of it then. So we did, today in the garden.

The 'pool' might be small but their imagination is big! They saw fish, crabs and things I've never heard of before.
Tomorrow, the weatherman is promising weather like today but even warmer. Do we dare trust his words!?!

Are you enjoying your summer wherever you are?

Cake and the daddy's donuts...

Phew.... The princess didn't wake up before 5.15am on her birthday on friday. That's still way to early but lets face it, she was soooo excited. Apparently turning 7 is so amazing it also reqires jumping up and down. She easily found her presents which we had hid (her request) and the dress she had wished for was one off them! Rapunzel's... and her hair, well of course not all of it!

She knew excactly how she wanted her cake to look like so pressure was on to make it excactly right. She helped me and was happy with the result. Phew... After the daddy has bought us (as in himself) a donut maker, he makes them every time he has a chance. You'll be asked how good they are... So no birthday without the daddy's donuts. Fair enough, he made loads and was also making sure all the guests told him excactly how good they thought they were....

Would you like a donut??

Art by children.

Maybe not all of you will call it that. Paintings, drawings etc and a lot of it. Everyday the princess is either drawing, painting, cutting or some other creative activity. Some I hang up and as you can see in the pictures in my previous post, it's hung up everywhere in the house. This is one of my favourites which she drew on her chalkboard. Apperently it's her and her boyfriend but I didn't say that!

There's a sale on here at the moment so it might be a good idea to stock up if you also have creative children!
