Nearly 5

Every year we take Louie to Lollipops a few weeks before his birthday to make a little something to comemmorate the big day. We always try to make something that can be used for his birthday party and it is awesome adding to the collection each year. This year Louie picked out a cereal bowl to paint with stars, rockets and aliens. The three coats of colour is still a little tedious for his nearly 5 year old self, so whilst Louie did all of the big colouring, Nana and I did all of the details. Maybe next year he will have some more patience...

(probably not!)

What a day. Breakfast in the garden. Playing nicely. Canons Ashby - what an adventure! Clotted cream tea after lunch. Buying a stack books from the second hand bookshop. Salad was all we could muster for dinner on a day like today. Finding a vintage/antique shop on my street and buying a chair for our nearly finished bedroom... perfect!

Sunny Sunday

Sundays have become such a lazy, stay at home day. The sun shone and it was a beautiful afternoon so we spent the day playing in the garden.
Painting, paddling and picking flowers for Mummy from the garden. Thankfully, Mr Bees ankle seems to be on the mend, a day of nearly perfect walking, no nap (although he did crash out before 6!) and no sadness.
Our Sunday roast was taken outside, opting for lemon roast chicken with roast vegetable couscous and homemade potato salad and all the salady trimmings.

Bits and Bobs

Bit of a quiet one this week, here is a mish mash of what we have been up to.

1. Playdough in pyjamas before nursery.

 2. A rather foggy but absolutely beautiful drive to work. A busy day but lots of great news!!

 3. Market Bosworth Country Park. The trees are still bare, the ducks were very noisy and we had to don our slipper socks when we got home because our feet were very damp!

 4. A lovely friend of mine gave birth to twin boys on the 29th of Feb, what joy! Congratulations Asta and Darren!

 5. Lots of crafting, Mr Bee was sorting buttons to keep out of Mama's way.

 6. Messy painting... you should have seen the state of the sofa....

 7. Mama wanted to play photographer so dug out Grandpa's tripod which has been in the attic for over 17 years. I knew I would use it one day! However, Mr Bee had hours of fun playing with it, pretending to make films.

8. What a beautiful apron I made yesterday at The Sewing Cafe. Great company and a wonderful pattern. I am very pleased!
