Even superheroes are entitled to a DVD day...

Ka-pow!


Have you got a caption for this duo of bat people that look very much like Jamster and I?
I'd love to hear it!


Have a great weekend.

Egg decorating - Hungry Caterpillar and Superheroes

It's that time of year again where the school holds the annual Easter fete, the Mini Mes get the chance to decorate eggs at home to compete for a prize, and I have the worry of transporting their masterpieces to school without cracking them on the way!

 

Jamster's Humpty Dumpty egg won from a previous year which he was so pleased about; he had put a lot of effort into it and he received lots of delicious, chocolate goodies.

It's nice to win but it's also a fun activity and gets the kids to be creative at no or little cost. They really enjoy getting involved.

 

Being a Superhero fan Jamster went for Batman and Spiderman, his favourite two characters...

 

 

He used felt tips to colour the Spiderman egg and some sticky foam as eyes. Batman was made with silver face paint to colour it, a black bag as the cape, mask and pants and sticky foam as the eyes with a card badge.

 

Minxy went for a Very Hungry Caterpillar, creating a glittery home for it too...

 

 

She coloured one egg red and a second one green for the body using felt tip pens. She added sticky coloured foam as eyes and straws for the antennae. The home she created was a bug catcher box that she covered (literally) in glitter and sequins and filled with green shredded tissue paper.

 

 

Minxy won first place for hers!

 

 

We are also entering our eggs into the Polarn O. Pyret competition to win a soft bunny and a £50 voucher which you can join in here: Polarn O. Pyret Easter comp

 

Have you been decorating eggs?

 

That's My Hero

"He is my hero because he has a big car with gadgets and stuff and it can fly. His car is actually like a flying ship.

He saves people sometimes if his leg and back aren't poorly but he can't really help that can he. 

He wears lots of black so people can't see him on dark nights. A bit like cool camouflage.

He goes to parties and has a nice house and the girls love him because he has big muscles.

He talks like this *does deep croaky voiced impression*"

Yep, that pretty much sums up Batman!

Jamster's latest hero and a super one at that.

The Dark Knight Rises seems to be played daily quite frequently here and I am tortured* by it endlessly.

*Tortured in terms of requiring tissues to wipe my drool over Christian Bale and Tom Hardy.

Who is your child's hero?

I often find Jamster's toys in random places and seeing then swinging from string was no surprise!

Monday Me

It can be hard as a parent to get time to yourself to relax a little but it's important to get the odd breather away from the chaos and kids!

Monday Me is all about child free time. Joining in can actually help you to make time for yourself even if it's just reading a new book or taking a soak in the tub with a face mask - it's the little moments that can really make such a difference to how you are feeling.

My Monday Me

Wednesday night we took advantage of the Orange 2 for 1 cinema tickets and went to see Batman with the lovely Tom Hardy as Bane and Christian Bale as Batman. It was a great movie, despite being quite long, and I thoroughly enjoyed an evening out cuddled up on the back row with the Mr. We also popped to KFC on the way back for a late night snack! Popcorn chicken is my weakness.

Friday evening the kids headed to their dad's house for the weekend so I got to watch some of the Olympics, enjoy a glass of wine and delicious food at home with my feet up. Saturday we went to see Ted which is a rather naughty comedy movie about a swearing, drug abusing bear! It had both the Mr and I giggling in the back seats. In the evening we went to a pub quiz where we came fourth... we won £5 which barely covered the price of a drink and packet of mini cheddars but it was a funny evening with family and friends and we had a great time getting home around 2am!

The Mr stood at the poster!

Sunday we popped into town for breakfast which involved a trip to Muffin Break for a peppermint chocolate slice - yum! Even without the kids I could't resist popping into the Disney store (anyone else love it in there?) to get Jamster a spiderman lunch bag, pe bag, backpack and filled pencil case ready for going back to school. I did however spend my £25 boots voucher that I won from BritMums in a Twitter party recently on myself.

What have you done for you this week?

My week that was...

The change in weather from good to bad meant the majority of the week was spent indoors avoiding the rain, but we still managed to have a lovely week.

Monday we spent the morning watching a movie and the afternoon baking; Rice Krispies raspberry bites and flap jacks.

Tuesday we went to a mini beast event at the library. We thought it involved handling lizards and snakes like last year but it was a craft event.

Wednesday we went to the leisure centre for an Olympic craft event where the Mini Mes got to decorate t-shirts and biscuits. Afterwards we went to a Tangled craft event at the library and then we visited my friend and her children. In the evening the Mini Mes went to their dad's house for the evening so the Mr and I went to see Batman at the cinema.

Thursday we spent the morning making crystals and Zubber bracelets and then we had a Subways for lunch. The rest of the day was spent at home watching the Olympics and a movie.

Friday I had to wait in for a hamper delivery so the Mini Mes played nicely together and then we used some of the food from the hamper to make lunch. In the afternoon the Mini Mes went to their dads home for the weekend so I had a nice relaxing evening in with the Mr, wine and we watched Cruel Intentions.

Saturday after a lovely lay in we went to the cinema to see Ted followed by an evening at the pub for the quiz night. We were joined by my mum, my brother and his girlfriend. We came fourth and won £5... it's the taking part that counts, right?!

Sunday we did a little retail therapy and had breakfast in town with my mum. In the afternoon we headed to Tesco for the food shop and then spent the afternoon in doing bits and bobs around the house.

What did you get up to last week?
