Paps capture tiaras and feather boas

Today was a very special day at Tea Cups & Tiaras Towers, we were hosting a Tiaras & Boa party for Daisy and her school friends to celebrate the end of Year 1 and also Mia being home from America for a few weeks. It happened to also be great timing for a photo shoot for the local paper The Argus!

One of the other mums and I picked up some very excited girls from school, Jo (my friend and biz partner) was holding the fort at my mine until we got back then it was a qucik change for the girls into their party dresses and waiting for Mia to arrive who happened to turn up with the photographer! The weather didnt know what it was doing so it was a quick dash to get it all set up as the photographer didnt have long with us. He took loads of pictures of the girls, the table setting and Jo and I and all things going well there should be a piece on us in the business section of the Argus on Tuesday.

After the photographer left Daisy and her pals got to enjoy tea and just be girly girls and run around the garden playing, they had a fantastic time and it was lovely to see them all getting on so well. The mums also got to chill out over tea and cakes - what a bonus. After a quick game of bingo it was time for the girls to head home.

My homemade and home-iced cup cakes...finally getting the hang of that icing twirl!

Achievement Assembly

This morning was Daisy's achievement assembly at school. I must the school does it well with the children singing and drumming. Daisy got an achievement for working well in a group.

We're jamming!

This is what happens when I go out...

Samuel draws on himself with permanent marker. This is the morning after and unfortunately Daddy didnt think to wash it off the night before whilst still wet so also over the bed linen as well. In the morning we tried to get it off with olive oil first, nail varnish remover was recommended but I didnt want it on his skin. We are now four days in and we have still have lines not as bright but at this rate they should be gone by the end of August!!

Jabs and more jabs

We got a call from the doctor today asking where we were??? Apprantly we were late for jabs, it was the first we knew about it so the little people were bundled into the car to the doc's surgery whilst I explained that they were going to see the lovely nurse and she want to check their arms. I was so very proud of them as they were both fantastic and had a jab in each arm and we did not hear a noise/cry from them. Unfortunately a few hours later they both had sore left arms with a big red bump.

Samuel and Mummy win the race

Today was Sam's pre school fair and sports day. We had some stalls like hook a duck, face painting and lucky tree. The little people had a picnic lunch and then took part in the races and Sam received a fantastic medal as all the little people were winners... so PC! But Sam and mummy did win the mummy's race wey hay! Sam also took part in the Daddy's race as they had to race with their child but Katie didnt want to so Sam ran with her dad. They both ran really fast and when it got near the end it go so competative Sam was carried across the finish line.

From the mouth of a 3.5yr old boy...

"I am really full up, I dont want any more, can I have a biscuit" reply from mummy "you said you were full up" Sam's reply "I am of that disgusting food"... charming
