Big boy's arrival

We hired the local village hall and filled it with streamers, balloons, bunting, bows and a bouncy castle!

We had the magnificent edupet for an hour and a half of pure toddler bliss, holding and learning about a menagerie of animals, ranging from a 3 ft green iguana, python, baby barn owl, hedgehog, ducklings, chicken, tarantula to hamsters, a chinchilla, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs. They had almost the same amount again in insects, lizards, rats and gerbils. This was only half their collection too, the rest were at home! You pay per child and it is a totally hands on experience. It certainly went with the Wonder Pets theme! My husband even conquered his life long fear and touched the snake!

Perfect for today's Fat Mum Slim's photo a day May!

Last week I was running around like a headless chicken, whizzing into party shops and stuffing party bags! But in-between I managed to pop into my favourite charity shop Weston Hospice and look what I found! A collection of gorgeous glasses!

The most delicate summer water glass set. They are worryingly thin glass so I will be very careful with them! I am using the painted bottle as a vase at the moment too!

I also found these little, sort of shot glasses, with flying ducks on them and a larger vase that matches perfectly when placed together. There were just two of the footed, etched glasses but I snapped them up for 50p! So when there are just two of us that fancy a cheeky glass of wine, these work perfectly!

 I also found a selection of books for the boys, all ranging between 20p and 50p and all in perfect condition!

 Some great finds to share with Magpie Monday!
