This month part 2 - Bedroom

Well the beginning of the summer holiday and this is what a certain persons bedroom looked like.

Well words cannot describe it....


So a day was spent sorting and tidying.


This was the result.

The best thing is that a month later it is still tidy!


Long may it last.

Little Miss Musical Theatre

The other night it was off to the theatre for us to watch Little Miss in Oliver.


'Please sir can I have some more?'


The songs from Oliver have been sung around here over the past months. DVD's of Oliver have been watched again and again. Now it was performance night.

What a star she was. At the end of the show awards were handed out and she was given one.

I am so proud of my Little Miss.

School Trip

Little Miss went on a two night school trip to Chichester the other week.

Cases all packed and 40 excited children eager to go away on their first overnight school trip.


Even though Little Miss goes to her Dad's every other weekend I missed her so much these two nights. 


Glad you are back home with me now.

Little Miss Birthday Party Time

Well once the birthday cake was made it was soon party time.


Room sorted out and rearranged.

Piles of books taken out of cupboard before it was moved. The books were eventually put back in the cupboard. That was after I got distracted flicking through them. I really must get myself a bookshelf. 

Room decorated and ready for the cinema party and games.

Little Miss invited six friends round to watch Gnomeo & Juliet. Loads of munching of popcorn, pizza and pick n mix sweets was done. Games were played and at the end just to check that they did watch the film a mini quiz. 

Presents opened by the birthday girl. 

Candles lit on the cake and gasps all around as the cake is taken in.


Party bags handed out, then they all headed off home. Mummy then has a large glass of wine!

And a yummy cupcake.

The Birthday Cake 2011

I love baking and also decorating cakes. So its no surprise that when it comes to Little Miss and her birthday cake a lot of thought and time goes into it.

Start of the chocolate madeira cake recipe. This was cooked on the weekend before the birthday party.

Cooked in two loaf tins and some extra in another tin. Any idea as to what it will be?

Butter-cream filing being done by Little Sis, and the cake is starting to take shape. Do you know what it is yet (in her best Rolf Harris voice)?

Blue icing being added (and yes we had to wear gloves as it turned our fingers blue!).


I hope you have guessed what it is.

Doors and panelling being added.

The final additions and the Tardis is ready.

And a blue light added to the top. Yes the light flashed, but no matter how many photos I took I could not get a good one with the light on!


We took our time doing this over the week. But it was so worth it when Little Miss saw it at her party.


What wonderful cake creations have you done for your little ones?
