Considering J wasn't having a birthday 'party' this year, (we host one every second year; a cost containment strategy I started as a single Mum many years ago) his 11th birthday has managed to span a week with two cakes and a fun trip with a few mates to see Star Trek Into Darkness with lunch at a local pizzeria.
Mum and Dad have decided to zhush the family home which is 50 years young. New kitchen bathroom, flooring, paint and storage. Exciting! I'll have to get their permission, but hopefully will be able to share the before and afters... Decision 1: Limed Oak Flooring!
*drool*
Here, the s l o w progress continues.... David has finished painting the ceilings in the main bedroom and installed doors, skirting and architraves whilst I've been playing around with some on-line wardrobe planning programmes.
Is it cold where you are? Winter has hit the Central Coast of Australia with a vengeance today. I'm happily wearing my new boots and living in comfy jeggings (long tunic jumper on top of course!)

ReplyDeleteoooh...not so quick Trish! I've got a few more jegging / jumper / boot combos to wear before spring! LOL! x KL
DeleteLove the cakes... bet the one with the snakes all over it was a big hit! Love your boots too KL xx
ReplyDeleteThe lolly cake was a pressie from his big sister....mustve cost her a fortune! There's cake at the bottom but much lower than the kit-kat sides so it's literally a lolly bowl on top of cake. Mega 11 year old boy hit!
DeleteClever girl; she must take after her mother. He he!
The boots are a firm favourite, soo comfy unlike some silly wedge sneakers that will be on ebay very soon! x KL
Happy birthday J!
ReplyDeleteLove the puppy cake, so cute!

Thank you B, from J!
DeleteHe loved the puppy cake. At 11 he's still my sweet baby boy (not much longer though, *sob*) and his mates fought over the nose and tail! LOL! x KL
