So last week was quite a busy week and I seem to have a lot of photos from it! It was also a week full of eating cake – just my kind of week then!
Monday
Was Burton’s second session at Ladybirds nursery and unfortunately he didn’t want to stay! It was so horrid having to walk away from him getting upset but thankfully after an hour or so he did settle in and enjoy himself. The mystery of his friend – real or imaginary we are not sure- called Jordan continues too!
Tuesday
Was Valentine Day…….well maybe in some homes but in ours it was just like any other day! Hmmmmph! Still, I did receive a couple of packages through the post from a secret admirer……… Uhm oh no actually I don’t have one of those! The parcels were from Warner Brothers who sent me, among other things, a romantic chick flick set of movies which I have yet to watch but am looking forward to an excuse to do so!
Burton and I made a rainbow marble sponge cake with chocolate buttercream – he likes making cakes with mummy!
Then my friend Elaine and her two children, Erin and Megan, came round for lunch – we made homemade pizzas – and to play for a few hours which Burton loved.
Wednesday
Is the day of the week that we go to Granma and Grampy’s house as Burton’s cousin goes there on a Wednesday too. Granma had been bust baking so we had chocolate cupcakes to eat and Burton enjoyed cleaning up the crumbs!
In the afternoon the children went outside to feed the chickens which is always a fun thing to do!
Thursday
We didn’t have a car as daddy was away on a business trip so my mum collected us and took us to her house for the day, allowing daddy to pick us up on his way home. Today was a no cake day (well unless you include a couple of Jaffa cakes!?) and after spending most of the day playing and watching Toy Story 3 we went out from a walk with Shadow (grandma’s dog) which meant wrapping up in warm clothing as it was dry but cold.
Friday
We stayed in for much of the day and Burton drew a snake and himself!
Earlier in the week I had received a second package from Warner Brothers this time containing lots of cartoons and so we introduced Burton to loony tunes cartoons for the first time, and he was quite taken by Roadrunner – beep beep!
Afterwards, we went to his cousin Ben’s house as it was his third birthday today and so there was a chocolate birthday cake – yum!
Saturday
Was Ben’s birthday party at Funderzone, out local soft play centre, this morning so all the cousins (of which there are 7) had a great time and even Jenson who wasn’t able to run around with his cousins had a fun time in the baby and toddler area.
After lunch, which involved……yes another slice of birthday cake Wooo hoo! – the four of us went to view a house in a village called Landkey which is where Burton attends nursery. We are hoping to move later in the year and Landkey would make an ideal place to move to as we hope to send Burton to its primary school, as its OFFsted report is the best in our immediate area.
Then after that we went to Granma and Grampy’s house for a cuppa and a play about. Burton thought it hilarious to remove his trousers and pants and run around semi naked jumping and dancing around their living room!! Then he found two balloon and started doing some funny dance routine – how we all laughed!

Sunday
had a lazy start to the day and we stayed in and watched more Loony Tunes cartoons (Tweety Pie This time!) and did jigsaw puzzles. After a lovely lunch made by me which Burton wouldn’t eat (!) we headed out to the park as it was a lovely sunny day, although very cold. I thought the fresh air would do us all good and boy was it fresh! I think Burton was very tired today as he complained about going out and refused to put his coat and shoes on, then once we were out he complained about holding daddy’s hand then he sat down on the ground!
Anyway we eventually got to the park, which is only a 10 minute walk away, and the boys enjoyed the swings…..eventually as Burton looked a little miffed to start with! He also went on the slide and then when I said we would go and feed the ducks, that didnt go down very well either because he wanted to stay in the playground!
Anyway, we headed home after we fed the ducks and grumpy and grumpier – I mean Burton and Daddy- went off ahead of Jenson and I as Burton refused to walk so he was carried all the way home which didn’t go down well with daddy!!
Don’t you just love suggesting you go out and get some fresh air?? Lol

Oh my goodness what a week, I don’t even know where to start. I love the fact that this week involved loads of cakes. But I am sorry that Burton didn’t want to stay at nursery, but at least you know after ten minutes they are ok and having fun. It must be hard though. I love the treats from Warner brothers, I got that email but didn’t respond…damn I wish I had now! I love Burton’s pic of himself too, how cute. What a great week, and heres to just as good one this week! Thanks for linking up xx
Your week with cake sounds like a dream week to me. That rainbow marble cake looks amazing!! Burton’s drawing of himself is really good! 🙂
Grumpy daddy! Burton must have been exhausted? You certainly did have a busy week, I love the balloon dance, bless his heart. The Boy has just started dancing manically and it’s hysterical to watch.
Burton was a little over tired i think and coming down with a cold possibly as he has been looking a little peaky for a few days now.
they are so entertaining aren’t they? Burton just loves to out on a show whether it be dancing, singing, making silly faces etc.. x
thank you, he is good at drawing and i find it funny how he likes to draw himself most of the time! x
you are welcome you are welcome its a fab linky! x
thank you and for commenting x
yes it was thank you x
it does look pretty – C will enjoy adding the food colourings! x
My sister always used to make up friends that she had at nursery, there was a whole family called the Onkawonkas or something like that and they were all in a plane crash! Sounds like a very busy week! x
Looks like a great week. I think I might make that rainbow cake this week for this little boys birthday on Saturday. Could be fun.
ooh let me know how you get on – i hope to see photos of your creation over on your blog. x
