Actually our Sundays are usually pretty busy but I think that this Sunday has been a more crafty, party, family filled than usual. As the boys have started to get a bit bigger theres been a much appreciated shift to a more leisurely start to the weekends. Previously it was a 5.30am wake up call, consisting of a little boy sat on my chest with his manic grinning face barely an inch from mine.
So, today was glorious, not too early, an 8.00am natural wake up which is a full blown spa day as far as I’m concerned. My other half made me a cup of tea, which I drank, hot!
One of our jobs was to decorate two easter bonnets for my mums coffee morning where she lives. One for her and one for her friend who was in need of a little assistance. We had a blast with the decorating….
Bunnies, chicks, tissue paper, pva glue, shredded paper and an enthusiastic helper – perfect! 
The tidying up part needed to be done before running out of the house to our next stop…. note the absence of the enthusiastic helper here!
When that was sorted we sped off to our lovely friends party for her 2 year old. It was a Mickey and Minnie party and very special. The food was amazing and there was a candy floss maker and fresh popcorn trying to jump its way out of the glass cabinet, the smell alone of sweet, warm popcorn was enough to transport me back to my childhood days. There was also a bouncy castle so that my son could try and jump out of his system some of the rocket fuel infused energy he had consumed.
A full sized Mickey and Minnie walked onto the scene and had a little dance with us all which was a sweet touch and appreciated by all the little ones. We tried to walk away with the ballon sculpture but didn’t quite get away with it as a little girl had her eye on it and a vice like grip. My son knows that girls will outwit them every day of the week and he backed down without a peep. I think Mickey looks relieved enough that he wont be drawn on, used as a football and then twisted into the shape of a rabbit by son number 2! What do you think?
Oh wow a wake up at 8 am it is a luxury at my house. You are so lucky!! Here we follow the cues of my youngest daughter so it could be from 6:30 to 7:15 am. But I’m now so used to that, so it is okay. Yes it looks that you had a really good, organised and fun day. Great idea about the bonnets. Your son has a really happy face! I’m with you about the tidying up time. My daughter does the same too. Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. I would love to see you again on Sunday! 🙂 x
Thank you so much Franca, yes its seems to be getting easier as the little ones start growing up to be bigger ones! I finally start to sleep some more, yippie:)
An 8am wake up call and a hot drink! very lucky! i love the smell of fresh popcorn too 🙂 sounds like you all had a fun sunday. Funny how the children dissapear when the tidying up needs doing 🙂 Thank you for linking up to #KCACOLS and I hope to see you back again on sunday
Yes, it was lovely:) I wonder if I’ll be lucky with the tea again this week? x
Wow sounds like a jam packed Sunday! The Easter bonnets looks great – I also magically lose my tidy-uppers when we finish crafting so glad it’s not just me! lol #KCACOLS
How wonderful! I love the Easter hat! They are so lovely! And your boy looks so pleased with the outcome. The Food looks so delicious too! 🙂
8am rise…you had me there! Lovely weekend. I’m impressed with the bonnet. Think I need to pick one up for my daughter! The Mickey party looks like a great idea. Popcorn is always a winner. The balloon models are brill…I’d have been sneaking one in the boot! Have a fab easter and thanks for sharing with #bestandworst x
yeah 8am and then anything can happen as I’m floating around on a buzz of having slept all night, whoop whoop:) x
Looks like a fab sunday! My boy loves Mickey Mouse at the mo – also 2yo 🙂 #anythinggoes
This looks like a really great day, and I’m so pleased you managed a lie in and a hot cup of tea! The Easter bonnet looks great, and do the cakes (yum!). I think that Mickey looks very pleased with himself. Claire x #KCACOLS
