What a week it’s been! In this week’s vlog, we’ve packed in a whirlwind of fun – from theatre trips and trampoline jumps to baking sweet treats and celebrating a very special Easter Sunday.
🎭 Room on the Broom and a Busy Tuesday at The Lowry
On Tuesday, I had the joy of taking Alice to see Room on the Broom at The Lowry – a magical experience (tickets were kindly gifted in exchange for a review). While we enjoyed the show, Lawrence took Leo to Oxygen, the amazing indoor trampoline park at Media City.
After the show, we grabbed a quick McDonald’s dinner, and since Leo was tired, Lawrence took him home while Alice and I caught the new Minecraft Movie at Vue Cinema. Double the screen time, double the fun!
✍️ Wednesday Writing & An Evening Mystery
Wednesday was a quieter day spent writing up theatre reviews, before heading out with my mum to review Picture You Dead at The Lowry (another lovely gifted experience).
🐑 Thursday Piñata Making & A Trip to Bolton
The Easter party prep began in earnest on Thursday as I started creating a lamb-shaped piñata – a special request from the kids! I managed to build the structure before hopping on a train to Bolton to review The 39 Steps at the Octagon Theatre (gifted tickets once again!).
🍪 Friday Baking and Piñata Decorating
We had a relaxed Friday filled with Easter baking! The children helped me make Easter biscuits and cupcakes, and I added the finishing touches to our woolly piñata masterpiece.
🌿 Saturday Theatre & Grown-Up Time
On Saturday, we took Alice and Leo to see Plant at Waterside Arts in Sale (tickets gifted). It was such a thoughtful, sensory-friendly show. That evening, Lawrence and I enjoyed a meal out with friends and returned home to transform our house with Easter decorations for the big day ahead.
🐣 Easter Sunday – Bonnets, Baskets & Garden Games
Easter morning arrived with lots of excitement! Alice and Leo discovered their Easter baskets and eggs laid out on the table. After breakfast, they decorated their Easter bonnets, while I prepped food for our Easter party.
We hosted a fab garden celebration with friends and family – complete with an Easter egg hunt, piñata smashing, pin the tail on the bunny, and a ring toss game. After our guests left, Leo got cosy and painted the Easter suncatcher he’d received in his basket.
