World Book Day 2015

After last years bad mum experience of World Book Day (see here) I was determined to be a better mum this year.

But what to send them as?  I draw the line at Superhero costumes - there may be books about them but that is not the reason the kids would be wearing them.  Same goes for princesses (equal opportunities and all!)... I don't do 'making' costumes as working full time combined with parenting and blogging doesn't leave any time to get the sewing machine off the shelf let alone consider making something.

So I did what every mummy in this situation would do (I went to Asda).   We get a lot of our outfits from there, do you remember Ben's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle one he wore on his birthday?  (yup George at Asda).

  

Easter + 2 small children = mess .... lots and lots of mess

It's Ben's first Easter at school and like most parents in the country (I'm assuming) we were set some challenges for this week.  Now when you work Monday to Thursday and have a husband whose idea of a

messy house is leaving 1 sock on the floor (even then it causes a meltdown) it fell to mummy to raise to the challenge.   But of course, Noah couldn't sit by while his brother had all the fun so double the kids meant .... double the mess .....

So Sunday was earmarked for art attack afternoon ..........
