Little Missy is getting big

I've been a little preoccupied lately. Someone small turned four at the weekend and I very easily slipped into present making and party planning and stayed away from the world of blogging for what seems like forever. Hello again, it's nice to be back!

I had a go at a rainbow cake, I've seen them all over blogland and thought I'd have a go, a layer for each year. I used gel food colourings as many people suggested for a more intense colour, I was pleasantly surprised when I cut into it, as it had seemed a little dull when each layer came out of the oven. 

A happy party playing pass the parcel, pin the hat on scooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-do, musical spots, you get the idea, simple pleasures.
 

 

Little Missy, we love your adventurous spirit, have-a-go attitude, drama queen antics, endless twirling and hilarious face pulling.   

Happy Birthday baby girl x

... and rewind

These last few weeks have whizzed by in a blur, so now I am back home and slightly rested and almost on top of the laundry I can stop, and rewind, and take a look at what we've been up to, and share some pictures...

...there was the end of term, with homemade shortbread buttons for the Teachers and Teaching Assistants (thanks for sharing the idea Nora).

Missy Big turned 6, SIX!! where did that time go?

 

... so the dolls blanket got finished and a fairy party was planned and enjoyed. 

We coloured in fairies and made bookmarks with a little Fairy magic (shrinkies)

 

we had team hunts for fairies...

and then put them together to follow the clues and find the lost treasure

 

Hooray for Children's parties - exhausting, but soooo much fun!

Then a couple of days later we headed off to my brothers wedding in Devon. Prepare yourself for lots of pictures in my next post - and you finally get to see the wedding dress!!

I will be heading round to your place soon to see what you've been up to, oh it's good to be back! x
