Junior cooking class

I quite often have a few little critters over, and I love to do the creative thing. This is a picture of my darling cooking class as the made their first jam drop biscusit. They didn't taste half bad either. Of course Timothy is an old hand at the cooking but he likes to make stuff even more when his pals are about.



At the moment I am getting my crafty and organisational drives out on the play group that I do on Fridays. Each Friday morning, I hire the village hall. The boys and I take down as many toys as we can carry, aparticularly the train set. Timothy on his trusty dinky and mini foozle in the double pram with the rest of the stuff. We spend an hour getting it all set up and then wait and see who comes. We have been running since the beginning of May and so far our biggest group has been 8 children but we get more each week and new faces each time as the poster get round with the word of mouth too. I have even been invited to join the hall committee to improve the hall usuage so I am excited about that. Last week I did a painting class with the kids and that was very successful. We are hoping to run a music, water and clay session during the summer weeks. Most playgroups shut down during this time so we should get lots of bored parents coming, excellent. We are planning lots of other uses for the hall too, June will see our first Kingston beer festival and we already have the hall booked for Halloween which is helpfully on a Saturday, so should be fun. Will post more pics as the activities happen. Monday I should have new pics as we are off to Brighton for the weekend

Pics from the 2nd Party

Timothy and Jonas 2nd Birthday Party

It was an amazing day. We hired the Bourn village hall with friends Mary and Ben so that Jonas and Timothy could celebrate their second birthday together. We would like to thank them and Maria and Tabatha for all the effort.

Cookie Monster Attack

He likes his biscuits, mummies cooking of course :P

Two on the Tenth

Yes Timothy is two already. Hard to believe but lovely to see. Though most of his friends have hit two and somehow got a copy of the book that explains to them how awful they really should be. I think Timothy got an advanced copy as he is well aware of how to go from angel to someone we want to throttle. But not on this special Sunday. Not only was it the 2nd birthday, it was Australia's mothers day (UK stick to Mothering Sunday). We both had a lovely day, it was wonderful to see that I was the mummy of such a bright, loving and funny boy. NEW WORDs for this day was 'Lunch, don't touch (that was for Matthew's benefit) and Catch.

Even though we are having a party on 23rd with one of his mates in the next village (the Lovely Jonas), Pirate theme. We did get into the spirit. Ben took Timothy shopping in the morning for birthday cake ingredients. We made of course a chocolate cake, woman's weekly rocks, works every time. We played with his new sand-water table and then bundled the two kids in the bike trailer and rode to Cambridge to do this .... (pics speak better)
