My Noisy Boys ....plus an angelic little girl!!!

Yes gang I am having to re-work my whole business name now because we had the scan on Thursday and it is a GIRL!!! I got side-tracked on my grocery shop yesterday in the baby girl section. OH MY LORD!! The colours....the colours...no more mixes of green and blue - I can have bright colours...WOW!! I felt like such a novice in the baby aisle - I have forgotten so much already - I felt exactly the same as I did with bump one...like I simply didn't belong in that section. However a little detour into the clothes section, a spy of a clearance rail and I was in heaven - all these cute dresses - with little undies (I had no idea) - I spent forever going through the stash and then suddenly dumped the whole lot back. Who am i kidding - little dresses indeed. This poor child is going to be known as pyjama girl. First time round I would dress the boy in full outfits every day - but this time I really see the advantage of "Letting things go". It was that weird (crazy), mummy hormone driven pressure that I put on myself to appear so in control that created an exhausted mess first time round - I simply can't let that happen this time. I was very surprised when we found out it was a girl - it took a little while to comprehend the news - I was so convinced that we were having another little boy. So this does leave me in a pickle - what am I going to do with My Noisy Boys eh...My Noisy Boys Designs and a sleepy, happy go lucky girl. I can keep kidding myself can't I? It's going to be easier - isn't it!!!!

Making your own Christmas Wrap

This weekend the noisy boy and I got into the Christmas spirit by making our own wrapping paper. I have some Christmas stamps from last year and using kraft paper and some cream craft acrylic paint we made a start on some snowflakes and christmas baubles. What do you think? You can do any design you want and it is great fun for the kids using the rollers and getting paint everywhere!

We also did this in the summer for some rather cool birthday wrapping too.

Yippee some more Noisy Boys in the world!

Ha Ha no this is not news from the bump!! We have had some exciting new arrivals from friends who have both had beautiful boys in the last couple of months! I finally got my shower gifts together for each of them and was so happy to be able to print up some little onesies in my favourite boy prints - the rocket and robot. The gifts wouldn't have been complete without matching fabric gift bags - which will be perfect accessories in the diaper bags or for the new nurseries! As for us? Well will it be a boy or a girl is of course the question of the moment. Most surprisingly the little noisy boy has put in his request for a girl - I have tried to explain that I really don't have any control over that - but at the moment I don't think he quite believes me. Luckily he has had more pressing matters in hand anyway - which comes in the form of halloween candy! Ahh bless the concentration of a 3 year old..oh who am I kidding...the candy has been distracting me too - one for noisy boy - 5 for mummy!!
