Exploring Autumn Leaves With Light

28 Aug

Here’s to another day of homeschooling, we’ve got this 🙌👩‍🏫🍯
🥰 🤵🏻‍♂️👰‍♀️💒 A little b 🥰 🤵🏻‍♂️👰‍♀️💒 A little bit of nice news to share with you...

Feeling a bit me’h today so I’ve cheered myself up by booking a spring date for our wedding...it’s only taken 8 children, around 30 years and a church to get around to doing it 😁

And as it’s going to be a lockdown affair we’ve chosen the spring given the abundance of flowers in the churchyard that we’ll get to enjoy our day surrounded by 🌸🌼🌸🥰

He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁

It was really easy to do and highly effective, he was very proud of himself 🥰👏
