🚀 A Week Full of Family, Fun & Everyday Magic
This week was extra special in our house – Leo turned six! 🎂 From baking and crafting to celebrating with family and sneaking in a night at the theatre, it was a whirlwind of Toy Story fun, party prep, and making magical memories.
🎂 Monday – Baking the Magic
The week kicked off with me in full-on baking mode. I made Leo’s birthday cake, cupcakes, and biscuits shaped like some of his favourite Toy Story characters. The kitchen smelled amazing, and the excitement in the house was already building!
✨ Tuesday – Decorating & A Night at the Theatre
On Tuesday, I transformed the bakes into something truly special. Leo’s cake was a two-tier Toy Story masterpiece – the top tier decorated like Woody’s outfit, and the bottom tier inspired by Buzz Lightyear. 🚀 I also wrapped his birthday presents, ready for the big day.
That evening, I headed to The Lowry to review Boys From The Blackstuff. Alan Bleasdale’s classic was brought back to life in a gripping new production. With raw emotion, humour, and a striking set, it was an unforgettable piece of theatre (gifted tickets).
When I got home, I decorated the cupcakes and biscuits, including Forky, Buzz, Woody, and the Toy Story aliens. They turned out so fun and colourful!
👾 Wednesday – Piñatas, Treats & Party Prep
Wednesday was all about creativity. Using cardboard boxes, masking tape, tissue paper, and glue, I crafted a homemade Toy Story alien piñata. 👽 I also made rice crispy treats and fun alien-shaped chocolate lollies for the party bags. The excitement was really starting to bubble!
🎉 Thursday – Leo’s 6th Birthday Party!
The big day! While Leo was at school, I created custom cupcake toppers, straw toppers, and even a Toy Story T-shirt for him to wear. Meanwhile, Lawrence got busy setting up the decorations.
When Leo got home, he opened his birthday presents before we welcomed grandparents and uncles for his family party. We tucked into party food, played games like pass the parcel, and had a great time smashing the alien piñata. 🎈
Of course, no party is complete without singing Happy Birthday and cutting into that Toy Story cake. Leo’s smile said it all – it was the perfect celebration.
🛁 Friday – A Well-Earned Rest
After all the excitement, Friday was a reset day. We cleaned up after the party, and I treated myself to a relaxing bath with a Lush bath bomb I’d been saving from Mother’s Day. Bliss!
🌼 The Weekend – Slowing Down
The weekend was calm after such a busy week. I caught up on video editing and enjoyed some much-needed downtime with the family. 💖
