Fruit christmas tree

Today was Princess E's Christmas party at playgroup. I was feeling a little bit creative and made a fruit Christmas tree!
It very popular with both the children and the adults!
You start with an apple as the base and a carrot as the trunk then use half toothpicks to hold the fruit on the tree. I cut up the left over fruit and put it at the base of the tree. It was so popular that even the apple and carrot were eaten'

Happy Halloween!

Tomorrow is 31st October so that means its Halloween! So this week I was making Princess E's lunch when the ugly toad asked what I was doing and requested a Halloween lunch as well and to make sure he had a pumpkin shaped sandwich. So here is a combination of their lunch's.

Ghost sandwich, worms in dirt, ghost twisties, pumpkin sandwich, Oreo spider, mummy hot dogs, ghost marshmallow

Care Bears

Last week Princess E got a Care Bear DVD and all I have heard since is "me watch bears!" So we have watched it over and over and over again. But Care Bears are very cute and Princess E has also inherited my Birthday Care Bear from the 80's. So every time we watch Care Bears Princess E makes Birthday Care Bear watch it to. So this week Princess E is having a Care Bear lunch.

Bear Sandwiches, teddy bear biscuits, rainbow and cloud, strawberry hearts, star watermelon

We LOVE Hello Kitty! Ok maybe I have brain washed Princess E in loving Hello Kitty but I Love Hello Kitty! I had the pleasure of going to a 3 story Hello Kitty shop while I was in Japan! All I can say is WOW! But how you can not love Hello Kitty? She is cute and furry and doesn't have a mouth? So to show our love for Hello Kitty this week Princess E is having a Hello Kitty lunch.

Toot Toot!

On Saturday we enjoyed an early mothers day trip to have a ride on a steam train. We made it a family day with Princess E's Nanna, Gran-nan, Poppa, Aunty, Uncle, Cousins and some close family friends as well as Mummy and Daddy.
We enjoyed a train ride then went to the park for a "Nic Nic" (Picnic) where we collected acorns and played in the leaves. After our lunch we went for a walk around the small town of Sheffield and looked at the murals. And we couldn't resist stopping in at the lolly shop! This week Princess E is having some train sandwiches driven by a happy teddy bear biscuit on a railway of chocolate wafer biscuits and marshmallow steam.

First Dental Appointment

Today was Princess E's first dentist appointment! We are lucky enough to know our dentist really well but it didn't help with getting Princess E to show the dentist her teeth. So after a ride in the chair and lots of crying she got some stickers and did a drawing while mummy talked to the dentist and the dental assistant. So today we thought we should have a toothy kinda lunch :)

Apple mouth, molar marshmallows, tooth fairy wands and a tooth

The Fairies have moved in

A couple of weeks ago I entered Princess E in to a competition to win a Lil Fairy Door and she was lucky enough to win! So her rainbow fairy door arrived and was put on her wall in the trunk of Russell's (the monkey) tree.

After a couple of days the fairies came to visit and left some little toadstool lights :)

And the fairies also left a fairy lunch for Princess E to take to day care.
