Inspired by yesterday’s activities, I give you my entry for The Gallery. Blogging from the Iphone on holiday so I can’t do any fancy links or the McLinky. I didn’t spot Leonardo, but I did you the favour of waiting for the lesbian photoshoot to finish before snapping this. (Helen, it’s El Cotillo, we are going to the surfer beach at the weekend). The Beach- Alex Garland
Once again Tara over at Sticky Fingers gave us all a great prompt for the Gallery. Thanks you all of you who stopped by and had a guess. I put all the names in the hat on Wednesday evening as no one got more than 4 correct guesses, even with some additional email guesses thrown in. My 6 year old pulled out Nova, who won the zero calorie cupcake. It was posted today Nova. So, for everyone who wanted to know what they all were – especially no 4, I give you the reveal. I also need to say Adios mis amigos (Goodbye my friends) – see it’s not just pictures at Freckles Family we can have fun with Spanish too. Can you tell I have watched too much Dora & Diego in recent years? I will never pronounce Jaguar the English way again! We are off to sunny(well it better be) Fuereteventura tomorrow for 2 weeks. As @kateagreen on Twitter said to me, with 4 kids it’s not so much a holiday as a change of scene. I’m sure we’ll have some glimpses of holiday amongst the chaos.

This weeks prompt from Tara at Sticky Fingers is Can you see what it is yet? I’m really looking forward to seeing what everyone has come up with. It reminds me of puzzle books you could get when we were kids, which had guess the mystery object in. I got a bit carried away trying to come up with something. I’ll post the reveals later tomorrow for anyone who is interested. The more I look at them though, the easier I think they are…  Win me!
Please have a guess in the comments what you think they are, and I’ll give the one with the most correct answers (or pick from a hat if a draw) this little no calorie cupcake. I’ve hidden comments until the end of tomorrow so no copying. EDIT: No one has got them all yet, comments now visible. Draw for the cupcake at 8pm. I’ve also finally managed to add Google friend connect over on the right. I’m my only friend at the moment so I’d appreciate some company if you would care to join me? Thank you Image 1  Image 2  Image 3  Image 4  Image 5  Image 6  Image 7  Image 8 23 comments
We started off really well with Nurture Stores sunflower club, we even won the seeds.  Planting the seeds 28 March 2010
The seedlings sprouted quickly,  Seeds sprout 8 April 2010 and were very healthy specimens.
We planted them out
The suspense must be killing you – what did we get…  13 July 2010 It’s really rather pathetic isn’t it? That isn’t the worst though, look at the ones that didn’t make it:
We do have another which is ‘about’ to bloom, I’m sure:
If it isn’t eaten alive, first. Then as if the mocking from Nature Store on Twitter today, about her Jack and The Beanstalk sunflowers, wasn’t bad enough. I also have this laughing at me from my neighbour’s garden. A case of here’s what you could have won, eh?
7 comments When I was asked to review a product by Hello Baby , they kindly suggested a wooden toy after describing what stage my little one was at. I was instantly drawn to the Brio Toddler Wobbler It required very little assembly – just an easy bolt and screw of the handle to the wooden tray. My little one was at the stage where he was able to walk along the furniture, but didn’t have the confidence to go it alone just yet. The push along truck was great as it was sturdy enough that it didn’t tip back and has a brake mechanism to slow down the wheels. See for yourself what he thought of it:
You can also see in his truck the 51 piece wooden blocks set. It is fascinating to watch him build these and knock them down. I have caught my 6 year old and their Dad playing with these blocks too. 2 comments |
