Bedroom Transfers

We have finally decided to bite the bullet and move the children in a room together. Now, some people find this a relatively easy transition but I, for some reason, have been dreading it.

Both children don't always sleep through, and then there's teething, and nightmares, and wet beds and so on...But the other half finally decided that the time was the time, and I do have to say i agree.....Well I did. Until it began!

We currently don't have a bedroom. Both children are now in our 'old' room. I must say as cosy as it is, i wasn't expecting the process to be so long!

Typical man though, doesn't move the bed into room (oh no far too easy!) Its much more important to set the new TV up (which doesn't yet currently work may I add) than it is to get the basics in first!

However, when it IS done, i cannot wait to have a room of our own finally. We've either been in with the child(ren) or been on a sofa bed in a front room. So, i will make a lovely space for us, and i hope to make the children's room a lovely room with plenty of space for both of them.

Hopefully we'll be some where there tomorrow! 

Roald Dahl Nursery Day :-D

Roald Dahl, probably my all time favourite author. I remember my first book was probably Matilda and I read it and read it over and over again. I'm glad we celebrate such a well known and talented author. Not only has Roald Dahl written childrens novels, he has done short stories and adult books, even written screen plays for James Bond and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang creating the character 'The Child Catcher.(Although both these were re written later by other writers.)

Anyway, I was pretty pleased to see written on the board outside my daughters nursery on Wednesday that the children had to come in as a character from one of Roald Dahls' books or in the colour yellow (his favourite colour apparently).

I was bit 'Ah' at the idea, Your mind just seems to go into melt down. Cue Googling away for all sorts of images of characters and racking my brains thinking of the various items of clothing Little Miss may already own!!

In the end it was J who found a set of ladybug wings in a local RSPCA chairty shop, for £1. So that was it, she would be the Ladybird from James and the Giant Peach!

I made a pair of antennas out of pipe cleaners, pom poms and a black hair band (sadly was minus a red hat!) I even cut up a cushion cover to make a tiny hand bag (well impressed, hand sewn and all who would've thought?)

I may be biased, but i'd say Little Miss was the best dressed :0) Has the most imaginitive parents at any rate! And again, may be biased :) 

Sadly my camera packed in this morning, so no fabulous pictures of my darling daughter, but I can treat you to a lovely picture of me and Little Miss all face painted up!
