As usual the birthday person gets to choose the meals for the day - Caleb is just like his Dad - once your up its breakfast time...Im not quite so enthusiastic about mornings, and the request for pancakes was fine, but it would mean waiting till at about 8am to eat - to long, he had cereal.
So I made the pancakes for morning tea - one giant blueberry pancake as requested!!!!
Excuse the messy hair - I think we all had a bad hair day at this house today LOL
Lasagne is the dinner request, but since between birthday visitors, housework and tending to kids I decided to sew my first ever dress for Jazz today (what was I thinking doing it today!!!!) I think it will be a bought one from the shop - oh well he doesnt mind!!!
Happy Birthday Mate!!!
On to the project that took up most of my day. I got this fabric for about $1/m at spotlight a while back. 
I wanted something cheap to practice with. I woke up this morning and decided I wanted to make a dress. Ive never attempted to sew a dress before - my biggest achievement to date was PJ pants! Im really not a good pattern follower, so I got one of my favourite little dresses that looked relatively simple and drafted a pattern for the bodice, studied how I thought it was put together and winged it from there. 
Eventually I got there - and I only had to unpick one little section. 
Now if little Miss ever decides to walk she can check out its twirling potential - surely by the time the weather warms up she will be well and truely walking! 
I think she likes it!
