Saturday - it's-not-a-birthday-party birthday party

Ian and I were ridiculously exhausted by Saturday, the day of Tassie's birthday - also our wedding anniversary! Luckily I had bought a fairy cake I'd seen when doing the weekly shopping and that was about it. We still had a few balloons blown up from her baby cousin Delilah's first birthday, and with the arrival of her aunty, uncle and baby cousin, and Gandy, Tassie was pretty happy!
She loved her cake, and blowing out the four candles (it only looks like three in the pic!). She received some foam stickers (yes, I have my eye on them already!) and some cute French-girl clothing from Pumkin Patch, courtesy of Gandy. She looked really sweet in her new little outfit.

She'd already received some other presents too from the Poolers in Melbourne, and her Nan and Pa the previous weekend. We gave her a little cash register complete with shopping basket and groceries later on.

Not bad for a birthday party that wasn't a birthday party!

Friday - You said 50 cupcakes???

Yes, that's right - 50 cupcakes. And I still made it to bed before 11pm last night, and delivered these babies to Tasmin's childcare so all the kindy kids and carers could celebrate her 4th birthday in cupcake style!

Thursday - I choose purple!


Henri Matisse, "Woman in a Purple Coat," 1937.
I dropped a reluctant Tas at kindy, raced to the shops, found the perfect purple winter coat on special - then got another in a different colour - and still made it back in time.

Art journalling: we all have to start somewhere!

Wednesday - dark and rainy winter day

Journalling reads: This morning it was quite dark at 8am and very rainy - so we brought your mini tramp outside.
I was really chuffed about getting Tas to childcare at 7.45 this morning, which left Angus and I plenty of time together for play and speech, before OT, and I even played with my new art journal a bit.
