Easter gifts

I wanted to do something a bit different for the boys this year instead of the usual shop bought Easter Eggs. I filled egg boxes with some chocolate treats, fluffy chicks and a lego movie keyring and decorated them with some wrapping paper.
I hope they go down well with the little ones but I'm sure they'll get spoilt by the grandparents with copious amounts of chocolate anyway.

Peter Rabbits Garden

The boys new obsession seems to be Peter Rabbit. Barns dressed as him in a rather fetching bunny onesie door world book day and now they are watching the show on cbeebies religiously.
Today they used their pocket money to invest in some figurines so we built them a garden to play in.

Sweet peas

After digging the new flower bed in the front garden last week, I've decided to try growing some sweet peas from seed. The garden is a cottage garden theme but it looks a bit sad and bare at the moment :-(

I've planted some delphinium and herbs to start me off and a couple of lavender plants, also I've scattered some yellow poppy seeds in the bed but not sure what will come of them.

Mothering Sunday

Had a lovely breakfast in bed and a biscuit brought to me by my eldest.
Been wrapping presents for the 'Nanny's' my wrapping is always style per substance!

Baby shoes

There seems to be an impending baby boom, so I've dusted off the sewing machine to make some cute little baby shoes. Baby girl shoes to be precise

Magnets

I borrowed our magnets set from work and filled a small shoe box with various objects for Barns to decide which was magnetic and which wasn't. He insists he's never done this before but managed to get every object correct before he tested it.

He's now asking for more activities and experiments, considering I normally have no success getting him involved in my activities, I'm quite impressed.

Play dough cup cakes

No Sammy we can't eat them!
