This morning as one of my 'many' parenting duties, at the last minute courtesy of my daughter she informs me that Tuesday is not only the afternoon that a sponsored walk is taking place (whilst thrusting a crumpled sponsor form at me) but that with just 2 days notice I have to arrange pirate outfits for her and her brother.
now yes I am a creative person, although writing, cooking & having a great imagination (& not too bad with paints) but sewing is a great big No No - It just ain't going to happen.
Off to the party store this morning slightly worrying that it is not the time of year for pirate popularity, however have managed for the price of £11.99 each to get them both matching girl and boy ones, very very nice. Will blog about the event after Tuesday once every friend has been handed to my daughter on the phone to ask for sponsorship (HA!! Not many going to say no to her are they ****Sneaky laughter****)
Once said items had been purchased the thought of coffee sprung to mind.
Children were both happy playing with Nanan who had come over in my panic about needing outfits & slight panic. Decided I could reward myself with a nice coffee from Costa - which is handily next door to the birthday shop.
not stopping at just a coffee, a croissant which they warmed for me in the industrial panini machine (they know me too well here) and my day is now perfect.
Two children prancing around the house giving it big "Ooh Arrghhh me hearties" and using a plastic coat hanger as captain hooks hook & I am able to get on with some cleaning (after a little light blogging and twitter catch ups) and enjoy the rest of what I hope to be a fantastic weekend!
