friday: food friends music

   Before Georgie was born, Friday nights were very often spent at S’s. She’d cook, I’d bake and the boys would enjoy. The last time we kicked back with a Corona and laughed the night away took place one month before I gave birth so it was really about time we got together. S has recently spent some hard-earned cash on sprucing up her apartment and she’s done an amazing job, don’t you think?   The  boys were so thoughtful bringing a present for the hostess…   …even though it was wrapped in pink (ahem) newspaper…   …and MORE pink newspaper!   I couldn’t help but laugh! She’d been unwrapping forever. Goodnight! x

sugar and stickers

This afternoon, my sister came round with her two older kids, Angelo and Mia for some Scotch pancakes with jam and chocolate cake. We had to figure a way to balance all that sugar and energy so we gave them two large pieces of paper and as many stickers as we could find. Georgie was having so much fun at one point he started pulling faces and running up and down the flat!  I was surprised at just how much fun kids can have without necessarily getting dirty. Can’t believe I didn’t think of stickers before.

getting creative

This evening, after tucking in Georgie, papa, S and I stepped outside for a ciggie and a glass of wine. Looking at the poor state my unimaginative drawings on the veranda wall were, we decided to get down and dirty. Enjoyed every minute of it!

what grandfathers are for

Georgie has a lot of love surrounding him. His grandfather, who he is also named after, is one of the most important people in his life. He had been meaning to buy a little house for Georgie to play in when he stays over but eventually decided to make one out of cardboard! It’s so cute and even has a chimney and a door handle! you can tell how much the little dude loved it.Have a happy happy weekend!xxx

artist at work…please be quiet!

I finally got around to getting georgie fingerpaints. Basically, I was browsing this awesome blog called Entertaining Monsters and found this fantastic idea to incorporate into his first fingerpainting session. I got a blank canvas, bought some stickers which I stuck on the bottom of the canvas and let him run wild!He began slowly…only putting his fingers in his mouth once before going absolutely crazy. I swear in a single second the paint was EVERYWHERE. I used a whole pack of wet wipes, which worked surprisingly well on georgie and the floor and the kitchen cabinets and my nose!My baby’s first piece of art!
