My Week That Was (W/E 15th June 2013)

 

On Sunday, I made Mickey Mouse ginger biscuits for Thomas. He loved them!

On Monday, we went and visited my mother in law. Here is Thomas very pleased to be getting grapes from his nanny!

On Tuesday, Thomas went to nursery. When we went to collect him, he refused to leave until he had his sun hat on and had sat in the chair for a bit

On Wednesday, I went to the BBC Summer Good Food Show. Here is a picture of the gorgeous James Martin opening the show

On Thursday, it was my father in law's funeral
On Friday, despite the rain outside we decided to make it summer inside. 'Check out my glasses!'
On Saturday, we went shopping in Halesowen and saw the Victorian Street Faye. They had a stall for rescued birds of prey. Here is one of the majestic owls they had. Thomas loved seeing them and would of stayed there all day if I had let him!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Two Weeks That Was (W/E 8th June 2013)

Sorry I have not posted anything for a week or so. We went on holiday and then came home early due to my father in law suddenly passing away. We are ok and are doing our best to get through. I have still been taking photos but have not been putting as much energy into it the last week as I have had other things on my mind.

Week One

On Sunday, we had a fun day at home playing in the garden

On Monday, we went for a walk and saw a pair of swans and their chicks

On Tuesday, Thomas played on his new scooter that Grandad Mick (my dad) brought him

On Wednesday, Thomas chilled out with his mates after nursery

On Thursday, we were all packed, very excited and ready to go away

On Saturday, we went for a walk exploring Burnham on Sea. Here is Stuart and Thomas enjoying the sunshine

On Sunday, Thomas had fun building and destroying sandcastles in the sand pit

On Monday, we rushed home after hearing the sad news. Here is a happy picture of Thomas I took to cheer up our day a bit

On Tuesday, after a busy day sorting stuff out, we went in the garden and could not resist taking a photo of the Daisies

On Wednesday, we took my mother in law for a pub lunch. I had treacle sponge for pudding

On Thursday, we went through some old photos at my mother in law's. Here is Stuart when he was little. He looks so similar to Thomas I had to look twice! (This is a slight cheat as it is a photo of a photo – hope I will be forgiven)

On Friday, we went to our local NCT coffee morning and Thomas went on a trampoline for the first time

Today, we have been for a walk in the sunshine. Thomas looked a cool dude on his trike with his hat and sunglasses on!

My Week That Was (W/E 11th May 2013)

 

On Sunday, we went to my Nan and Grandad's house and Thomas went and played in their garden. He loved their vegetable patch and went and sat in it for a long time. We wondered what he was going to grow himself into!

On Monday, we went to a friend's house for a BBQ. Thomas loved their small bouncy castle in their garden

On Tuesday, Thomas came home from nursery and played with his stacking cups. He is getting quite good at building towers now

My Two Weeks That Was (W/E 4th May 2013)

I am not 100% sure what happened last week. I just seemed to have no energy to blog. Normal service is resuming this week though and I have two weeks to catch you up on.

Week One

On Sunday, we went shopping and then feeling hungry, we went to the food court in the shopping centre. Thomas tired his first spring roll. He loved them!

On Monday, we went to Mary Steven's park in Stourbridge to feed the ducks. I took this photo of the pool there

On Tuesday, Thomas played with his new drum kit that has been given to us from friends. He deafened us!

 

On Wednesday, it was Daddy's birthday and as he was away in Edinburgh we wrote a message for him on a chalkboard and Thomas posed for a picture. Daddy really liked it and knew we were thinking of him

 

On Thursday, I hosted an NCT event at my house and I made this strawberry and caramel tart for everyone. The plate was spotless by the end!

On Friday, Thomas randomly decided to climb into a plastic bucket while we were at our NCT coffee morning

 

On Saturday, Thomas turned 18 months old (where has my baby gone?)

Week Two

On Sunday, we went down to Bewdley to see my nan. While walking the dog, we saw this nesting swan and her partner keeping guard. It was lovely and very peaceful.

 

On Monday, we went shopping again and Thomas played in the play area within the centre. He loved this blue car but wanted to get out of it as soon as another child came anywhere near it!

On Tuesday, Thomas and I took a picture of ourselves

On Wednesday, I took a picture of myself for this week's The Gallery theme

On Thursday, I went to a farm shop on the way back from work to get some asparagus. I took this photo of the apple trees in blossom opposite in the farm shop

On Friday, Thomas tried asparagus for the first time and I made asparagus with poached eggs and butter for my lunch

Today, as it was sort of sunny, we have held our first BBQ of the year. We have had a fantastic afternoon

 

 

My Week That Was (W/E 20th April 2013)

 

On Sunday, we went shopping as I need some new glasses. Thomas did not want to miss out on the fun so tried on a pair too!

On Monday, Thomas and I went to lunch at The Custard Factory in Birmingham to meet with a fellow food blogger. To find out what we discussed, find the hashtag #futurefoodies on Twitter.

On Tuesday, Thomas came home from nursery looking like he had been swimming in a bowl of baked beans!!

On Wednesday, I took some star fairy cakes to my local NCT Annual Members Meeting. I was very delighted to discover that the branch have nominated me for a national NCT award for my volunteer work.

On Thursday, Thomas helped Daddy and Grandad fix his trike. We are waiting a replacement wheel but have managed to temporary fix our broken wheel so Thomas can still enjoy the sunshine on his trike.

On Friday, I was feeling brave so let Thomas eat his favourite pasta and bolognaise on his little table and chairs. He quite enjoyed it as you can tell from the pictures.

 

Today, we have enjoyed the sunshine and Thomas has been on a big boy scooter.
