Birthdays Cowboys and bunnies

My what a busy few days we have had.

 My baby boy Milo has turned 3. I can't believe where these last 3 years have gone :-( 

We have had a lovely few days going to the Blue Planet Aquarium and to Chester zoo as well. He has not really asked for anything for his birthday, unlike his big brother who is desperate for his birthday with a mammoth long list. It's sad that he has become such a consumer already. I blame the parents!!  

He did want to be superman so that is who he was! 

We have eaten too much cake, which was cowboy themed this year, to go with cowboy themed party favours, which were hats, sheriffs badges and neckachiefs and a chocolate cow.  

My dad carried it around the zoo for us before we had our birthday picnic, we had a few strange looks. But it went down well and tasted pretty good too! 

On another note, Rufus has a school competition to make an Easter basket. Which means the parents are really having a competion. I have started and will post a finish picture but sowing is not my forte! 

It's going to be ( she says hopefully) a little rabbit bag. It looks more like batman at the moment!

Bye for now boys xxx

Kids Party's

Me and Rufus have been to a kids party today and I can honestly say I had a great time! I was rather apprehensive as it was a creepy crawly party!

Www.thecreepycrawlyshow.co.uk

I am terrified of spiders, which seems to have only gotten worse the older I get. The lady who presented the show was fantastic and held most of the 4-6 year olds attention really well. Which is no mean feat. 

I admit when the tarantula got brought out I was more than ready to bolt. I had my bag pushed out the way and both feet firmly on the floor ready for my speedy exit! Just ask the other mums, I kid you not I would have ploud past eventhe  smallest of kids if they had got in my way, I'm not proud but I am honest. 

However no kids were hurt during the party due to my mad tarantula panic. I was so brave I even managed to stroke a corn snake. The 1st time I have ever touched a snake.

Was mega proud of Rufus for volunteering at the front of the group without even knowing what he was letting himself in for! Luckily it was Dave the Leppard Gekko!! 

Fab afternoon had by all

World Book Day- Extreme Reading

World Book Day

Rufus's first year of school is bringing many an exciting challenge, and World book day is just one of them. They are having an extreme reading competition at school to have the strangest/weirdest/extreme places to read your book.
As memebers of the Blue Planet Aquarium we decided a quick read with the Sharks would be the way forward. Here is our entry below.
