Cupcakes on a rainy Satuday.

Saturday it rained and rained. The princess and the daddy decided that baking would be a great thing. They went for cupcakes. Here's their very fine cupcakes ready to eat. Can you guess which ones the prinsess decorated??

We have a Bank Holiday coming up this Friday. Can't wait for a day off. We've booked cinema tickets and going to see The Junglebook Friday afternoon.

Have a lovely Wednesday where ever you are!

One more advent calender, snow, Elves, Fairies and a little Christmas train.

Yesterday a big packet came in the post.... It was advent calenders from Nana to add to the two the princess and little man already had been given. Both mormor (grandma) and moster (aunty) had also had the same thought....

 Today we woke up to find snow outside....

 ....and that the Fairy had delivered the Christmas tree. Every year it's so exciting to see when it will be delivered. The Fairy sits on top and she has put the lights on. The rest is for us to decorate!

That was not all.... The Elves had also been sometime in the night because the little man and princess' stockings had things in them. Magazines and treats which lead to more screams of joy.
The Christmas market was today too, so we popped down for a while but it was very cold. The princess and little man did get a ride on the little train before we called it a day.

Back home again hot chocolate and tea got us warmed up again.

What have you been up to on this 2nd day of December??

Nana's here....Yeah!!

Nana came on the plane from England this morning to stay for 4 days. With her she had a suitcase full of treats for us all, teabags (Tetley's), magazines, t-shirts, sweets, choclates and halloween facepaint.

Can you believe it?

I thought they were too old to pull a stunt like this.... Apparently not! One mini smartie in the little man's nostril. Just like he did at the age of 18 months - put a rasin up his nostril and the princess put 2 sweetcorns up her nostril, also aged 18 month (read).
So what happened then?? Well, apparently the princess told the little man to put it up his nose and so he did... He normally doesn't take orders well and especially not from his big sister. This one he couldn't  resist though!
Lukily the little man does listen when it comes to the crunch. He blew hard and out come one smartie... He was upset, that he wasn't allowed to eat it now it finally came out!

Earlier today, before all this smartie shenanigans, the house was calm and quiet as the princess and little man were testing their new portable dvd players.

I was booking hotels for our little trip through Europe after we go to Disneyland!

How was your Sunday?

"You're welcome"

The little man and the princess still have so much Easter chocolate left. The little man is not keen on the posh chocolate (Thornton's) but lucky for the mummy and daddy, he is very generous! He gave us these lovely chocolates today when asked which chocolate he wanted after dinner...

He went for some chocolate buttons which he consumed in no time.... Obviously you get very thirsty eating chocolate so a whole glass of water was needed afterwards!

"Thank you for the delicious chocolate, darling" "You're welcome, mummy and daddy"

Early Easter....

We had the family around for an early Easter. The princess and I made these little chicks to decorate the Easter eggs with.

Have a great weekend.
