Animal Update

 
I must say, it has been very remiss of me not to have introduced
our sweet little singer 'Duffy.'
Duffy is a pretty little canary we bought a couple of months ago.
He is a joy.
He is joyful.
He is yellow and lovely.
We called him Duffy as Jack has a book from Nana Mac
about The Little Red Train.
It's characters are Jack the Guard and Duffy Driver.

Lucy Duck has gone insane. She is sitting on an unfertilized clutch of eggs.
(Unless Daddy or Roger Duck are actually boys!)
She is wild and mean.
I actually admired her pretty feather lined nest until I realized
she was plucking them from her friends.
We think it was she who drove Rock and Roll Chicken from the coop.

We suspect Rock and Roll has left our band forever and has joined another.
Let's hope she's playing groovy music somewhere out there!

All others in our animal family are happily swimming, clucking,
tweeting and woofing along nicely.
I won't even get started on the humans though!
Oh, by the way.
If you feel like leaving feedback and have not been able to do so, have another try,
I think I've solved the problem.

Seven Deadly Sins and Barbie

Pride is one of the deadly sins. I googled it.
Pride is actually the number one deadly sin and the sin from which all others stem.
Oh well, tough.

I am proud of this cake.
There you go I said it.
I am stoked with this cake.
By the oooohhhs and aaahhhhs it received everyone agreed what a lovely thing it is.
 I think I have found my calling.
No repentance.
Amen!

Party Planner

I feel like a sneak. I feel like I have a guilty secret.
Secretly, I am a little obsessed.
No, not really.
But I am quietly enjoying myself party planning for Pip's 3rd birthday party.

We went to a party today and came home looking like this...

I have been Googling pink parties, Barbie parties, Barbie cakes
and at times quickly switch off if someone walks into the room.

When surrounded by a disasterously accident prone family,
what could be more cheerful than pink, pink, pink.

 
Look at what I have already. Parcel parcel (pass the parcel to others) is wrapped and sorted.


Tiaras. Princessy stash bags. Birthday bunting.

 Sorted my pink and gold fabric stash to decorate and 'pink up' the deck.

 Planned very fancy cupcakes.
(Where are my Barbie cupcake ring toppers Mr. Ebay?)

Individualized Barbie drink bottles.

Presents are bought and wrapped. Got the card.

Now I just have to do all the work.
