I bought some lovely fresh flowers for home. I don't usually buy native flowers but I couldn't resist these gorgeous Waratahs.
We had our first "incident" on the Skate ramp. We thought Finn had maybe broken his ankle but it just turned out to be a nasty bruise/bump. It was an anxious afternoon!
Noah got to enjoy his first bout of warm weather and I got to enjoy dressing him up in some cute shorts and thongs :)
I had a bit of a panic at the warm weather as I didn't really have anything to wear as I haven't really updated my Summer wardrobe since being pregnant last Summer. I was happy to find an old maxi skirt that still fit!
Finn and I have had fun the past week doing the Challenge a day. He has his own Instagram account and I love seeing his view of the world.
Noah has become a daddy's boy this week, lighting up every time Simon walks in the room. Adorable!
And I had a little practice session on creating a mini ombre cake for Noah's Christening which is in a few weeks.
I ended up using 1.5 vanilla packet cake mixes, divided amongst 5 little cake pans. It was a bit hard to get the colours right as I wanted blue but the colour was more aqua/green. Maybe the eggs?
I just made sure I had a variation of the colours.
Once the cakes were cooked, I evened the tops up and popped them in the freezer for a bit to cool. I then layered each colour (darkest on the bottom) with Vanilla icing. I didn't really have enough at home but wasn't too worried as it was my practice run. So the overall look wasn't as polished as I would have liked but once I cut into it, it was perfection!
It was so satisfying to have it work out! And we all had an indulgent Sunday afternoon tea plus leftovers for lunch-boxes and teachers tomorrow.
How has your week been?
