Turns out toddlers aren't very good at keeping secrets because as I was in the shower I heard Elliot shout "Mummy, we are having a surprise party breakfast for you!!" and my husband trying to shh him! So I had to pretend to be surprised when I was faced with a Minions birthday cake...and randomly some cheese & pineapple! Elliot was mega excited about the birthday cake and I got treated to a rendition of Happy Birthday to you, Squashed Tomatoes with poo....you look like a monkey and you smell like one too. Thanks Elliot!

| I'm not sure what kind of face he's pulling in the bottom one, looks like he's in pain! |
We decided to go out for lunch for a treat as it was my birthday so we persuaded my hubby to take a lunchbreak and we just went to a local pub. It's nothing fancy but Elliot eats free which is always a bonus! We dropped hubby back at work afterwards and Elliot was starting to get a bit tired. So I whacked on some Hayley Westenra in the car and did a few laps of the dual carriage way and he was asleep in no time! By this point the rain had stopped and the sun had made an appearance so I parked up at my favourite view point and read a magazine for the first time in ages. I would say it was peaceful but the snoring from the back of the car was pretty loud ;)
When he woke up from his slumber we visited my Grandparents and then ended up back at my Mum and Dad's house. I got spoilt with some lovely presents, we had a yummy curry for tea and then we had homemade birthday cake for pudding! Elliot had actually helped make and decorate the cake, I wonder how many smarties ended up in his belly and not on the cake though!
Birthdays are never the same as you get older and especially when you have children but I had a nice day...and I've got enough cake to keep us fed until next week at least ;)
Happy Belated Birthday Elaine! I love Elliot's rendition of Happy Birthday for you, that's love right there ;) The minion cake is SUPER cute! Elliot has great taste in films, when my brother was his age he wanted to watch Titanic TWICE a day, count yourself lucky haha :) x

Titanic twice a day?! Wow your poor parents lol! Thanks for the birthday wishes xx
DeleteThink its my fault for teaching him that version whoops! And out of 3 tubes, only about 10 smarties made it onto the cake haha!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday sounds a lovely one x
ReplyDeleteAww what an amazing day! Nothing can stop a fun birthday not even a bad weather! Happy birthday =) #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - birthdays aren't the same when you are older, but at least we can live our young birthday fantasies through the kids when they have theirs! Still sounds like you had a great day. Love the pics of Elliot asleep!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! My daughters are still excited about their own birthday when mine comes around and it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement!! One year, though, I quite literally forgot it was my birthday until a neighbour showed up with a cake. In my defense, I was busy... throwing my daughters' party! (Yes, we had far too much cake that year.)
