Im deliberatly not posting pics of the kids over an incident (not involving JM in any way) surrounding a pic of one of my kids IRL. Ive become very protective of their pics but if you are friends with me on facebook you can check them out there. But here are some pics of the decorations i was telling you all about.

His cake that i made him

I made 4 lifebuoys out of kids swimming rings wrapped in paper mache and painted, he absolutly loved them.

Mark was supposed to wear this but i didn't have time to sew the buttons on they are only pinned on and we couldn't find a white beard, but it did end up hiding all my sewing equipment in the corner.

Our front door decorated

I found a shop on friday in a local shopping centre that did personalised banners and i got him to make this for only €10, its now going up over Reese's bed.

This pic was a last minute addition, my BFF saw it for sale on facebook, the lady paid €80 for it and i got it from her for €35, and she was so lovely she travelled about 30 miles saturday morning for mark to collect it from her so we would have it for the party. It was never even hung up, mark had to put the picture wire on it to hang it. Its by a renound english artist called Adrian Rigby and it was all i could do not to get my mum from walking out the door with it she loved it so much lol. Its only a print but apparently even his prints sell out quickly so i really struck it lucky in getting it and the timing couldn't have been better. And it even came with the frame.
