Cheesey grins all round !!!

Well Twiglet seems to be on the mend, we're all coughing away, but much better. We had a week of firsts last week, Twiglets first ever harvest festival which was just gorgeous. It took place in our lovely village church, he told me I must be VERY careful as it is very old and I must not break anything :) He did a star turn as a leaf and his class sang a song and explained how trees grow. His little mate said the prayer which consisted of him shouting very quickly and loudly, THANK YOU GOD FOR TREES!!! I love littlies school productions, you have a tear in your eye cos they are so sweet and so very funny too. Here's the cupcakes we made for the audience.
Another first was his parents evening, it is good to know that he's settling in well, is very confident and likes to share information - you don't say:) He is making friends and is very protective to his little girlyfriend which I think is just lovely.

We had a little celebration for Grandad Twiggys birthday, here's the cake Twiglet and I made.

With the germs slowly clearing off, my mojo is on the horizon (this could be why I've signed up to do two swaps!!!) here are a few bits I made this week.
We had a lovely weekend and took Twiglet to Thomas the Tank Engine land at Drayton Manor Park, I had to save my Tesco vouchers for flippin ages for this but it was fabulous. We didn't tell Twiglet where we were going and when we pulled into the car park, he said in his little croaky voice, I AM VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!What a top place. We finished off the weekend with a most pretty walk in the woods, this is my favourite time of year and a Sunday afternoon walk with my boys in beautiful woodland, followed by a fab Sunday roast cooked by Mr Twigs is just magical.

PS Note cheesy grins at the top of the page, we were riding in Jeremy Jetplane at the time !!!

Still AWOL but here are some things we did earlier!!!

Well our lurgy has gone from bad to worse. We went down to see our relatives at the weekend and poor old Twiglet spent Saturday night projectile vomiting, which continued in the car on the way home. I am sooooo proud of our boy though, he was and is still being a total trooper and even though he felt ill, he still tried to chat and join in with the others. What a poppet.

Both he and I have been VERY grotty this week, so he's been at home with me and we've spent the week so far mooching in our PJs which is pretty much how we plan to spend the rest of the week. Mr Twigs is made of stronger stuff and only has mild symptoms. He reckons we may have the old pig flu!! Anyhoo, here are some pics of what we got up to before we became germ infected. Hope you like them and I'll catch you later, when we will be hopefully be germ free.

Homemade carrot and coriander soup and cheese scones.

We also made many blackberry and apple crumbles after picking lots of blackberries.

This is the parcel I sent to Gina at Fan My Flame, I included a recipe for chilli jam and a jar of chilli jam. Some handmade labels and some cross stitch seed labels that I was pleased with. Hollyhock, delphinium, sunflower and poppy seeds and some vintage flower cards.
This is the parcel I received from Gina, a selection of seeds and recipes, some garden labels and how fantastic are the watercolour labels on the seed packets.Flying kites at the kite festival. And finally a lovely sunny day out.Here we are, me and my little star (nice shadow Daddy !).Twiggy x
