So good morning, here we are in another week. What are you up to this week? I'm home today with the smalls. The Girl Wonder would usually be at school, but she has a tummy ache and a bit of a rash (probably heat). She had a temperature yesterday so we decided she should stay home today. I have to be Mrs Mummy and play home school because she absolutely loves going to school and is not impressed with a day off! Herbert Buggles is a bit quiet too and, unusually for him, has only eaten half a breakfast instead of his usual three. We had a busy weekend with the carnival, so I think a quiet day at home will do us all good.
Changing the subject entirely, I can't decide if Christmas in July on Etsy is worth the work or not. I managed to get these teenytiny bags made and listed. I'll have to see what else I can do - at least I'll be more prepared for Christmas itself!
Have a good week! oldbag x
Yesterday we were invited to a birthday party at the local farm park. It snowed and for a few short hours, the children had an absolute ball. By the time we left in the afternoon, the snow was melting and there was no trace at all by this morning. I think it was one of the best birthday parties - for children and adults alike! - and it was so nice that it snowed on the one day when all the little friends were together somewhere that they could make the most of it.
Thanks to a small (okay, large!) online shopping spree, I got two very big boxes delivered to my door. I've stashed the presents they contained, but perhaps I should just send them back? The boxes seem to be all my children need. They have been boats, sofas (yes really), cars and houses. The cardboard tubes are masts, obviously.
Christmas!
Yesterday was the village carnival and we had the best day! We joined in on the Under Fives float (which won best in junior section and best overall!) with Herbert Buggles as Tigger and The Girl Wonder as a Disney princess. The carnival theme was adverts and our float was the Disneyland Paris advert. For a small village, we have a mighty fine carnival, one of the largest in Cambridgeshire. Lots of fabulous floats from the village groups and associations. The entertainment was good too, with a marching band, majorettes and a group of modern morris dancers (I think that's what they were!) who looked incredible and had me rolling on the floor when they explained that a particular dance was called The Last Hot Dog Stand in Yaxley! Their costumes have me desperate to make something in black and white.
