Queen of things!

Erin loves to dress up and have lots of accessories. Today we went to have a look for a present for Carola. I thought something girlie like hair accessories would be a good choice. Erin thought a couple of bags for Carola and a couple of bags for herself would be the solution to the gift dilemma. We did eventually leave without the bags and Erin had to be carried out of the shop over my shoulder wailing the whole time in protest at my decision!

Birthday Cake Test Run

I wanted to create a rainbow cake mixture for Erin's birthday cake so bought a Betty Crocker box for the trial. The colours came out beautifully but unfortunately the cake was too soft to cover in fondant! Never-the-less Erin and I enjoyed our time in the kitchen and the unlimited slices of cake without icing on it. The party is on Saturday so I had better come up with plan B quickly!

Erin is 3!

It is Erin's birthday! Time has flown and I cannot believe she is 3 already. Last night I wrapped presents and staged them in our bedroom ready for her this morning. She was very happy with the set up and with the help of Owen set about opening all her gifts. She got plastic glasses for her kitchen and a Hello Kitty outfit from Owen and from Brendon and I she got a picnic hamper with fabric food and drinks. She was very pleased with her presents and took them all on the school run!
