On a weekend break at 36 weeks - wondering if walking into the sea and getting swept away would be a good option! |
but despite scan pictures and a Tamba twin preparation course, it was still a shock to be handed two babies
Happily, I soon perfected the twin baby juggle and zoom on 4 years, we're planning princess parties with Hello Kitty cakes. I know all mums say it and it's a bit boring but seriously, doesn't the time fly by?!
Anyway, the party was a great success. My friend Alicia from Bliss Nails came and did nail art for me and I got to explore face painting as a second career..
Unfortunately, my repertoire extends to butterflies only but luckily most of the kids were happy with that…by the time I did this last wee girl, I was flying it!
There isn't really a proper outfit photo - the one above and this next one will hopefully show off this dark teal/navy coloured Primark pleather fronted top that I picked up a couple of months ago for a bargainous £7. Being wipeable, it was a perfect choice for a messy party.
Pleather Top - Primark Necklace - Vintage (last seen here) Black Skinny Jeans - Gok 4 TU at Sainsburys (last seen here) all worn with black River Island Ankle Boots |
Oh and I get to show off my cake too (allow me a brief proud mummy moment). Looks impressive but it's a dead easy chocolate cake from Tana Ramsay's book enhanced with two boxes of Chocolate Fingers and a large bag of Maltesers. It was demolished before the day was over - anything with that much chocolate cannot be delicious!
So that's the twincessfest over for another year…let the Christmas planning begin!
Oh how sweet! Such a lovely post. And a huge happy birthday to the Twincesses! That top was a great bargain ..£7?? Off now to search the web for the recipe for that cake - I have a little chocoholic princess who would LOVE that for her birthday in Feb.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your gorgeous twincesses!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks fab, it's very similar to the one I made for my daughter's 5th birthday, it was a chocolate fingers and maltesers creation too :-)
A wipeable top, I could do with one of those most days ;-)
How time flies by Avril! Hope the twins had a great birthday:) That top looks great on you!

ReplyDeleteI have seen those tops in the sale section of our Primark but did wonder how they would wash/iron - are they ok? I will be sheeping you again if so! Ant xxx
Ah bless, so lovely to see these pictures. I think it's sometimes easy to forget that we are real women with real lives and families to look after as well as our cherished blogs! Love the Primark top and great choice for a party! xx

I'm beyond impressed. None of my friends have twins but ones that have kids within a short space of time are busier than buzzy bees. The cake does look impressive. BTW, I'm loving your hair color. Suits you to perfection.
