Eleven


The eldest Boo is eleven today - what more can I say?



He went to school in a huff this morning - badge proudly pinned to his jumper.

How dare there be school on his birthday?!


Do they not know?

With a twinkle in his eye though - for it is his birthday......don't you know!


I made him a donut cake - lashed liberally with pure melted chocolate so it goes 'crack' when sliced into.

And tonight we dine on his most favourite of meals - ham, egg and chips......that's my boy.


To our bold and handsome yet shy and unassuming - when it suits - beautiful, beautiful fast growing up (please slow down) pre teen boy.

My 'Just William!'


~ Happy, happy birthday young man ~

You're still not getting a Play Station though!



I still have 'that' twinkle in my minds eye.


Cheeky little wotsit!

Ahhh, an eleven year old boy, I have one of those. Such a mass of contradictions. A Very Happy Birthday to that boy.

Happy Birthday to your boy! :)
I quite agree, how dare they have school on your birthday!
I'm drooling at the thought of that chocolate going 'crack' when it's cut. :)

Ah, happy birthday to a very grown up boy! I want to pickle my children to keep them small forever, it goes so fast doesn't it?
Hope you all have a lovely day

Happy Birthday to William. Millie wasn't too impressed about the school thing either so I bought a Dr Who 9 badge to take the edge of a bit.

Love the gob stoppers and what a mean mummy - no play station so he can play on his own goggle eyed and ignoring everyone. Ha ha. We have a really small TV and mine keep saying "iiiifff we had a Wii you know we'd need a bigger tele". Neither will be happening - so I'm mean too.

Have a lovely evening all of you Nina.

Definately not fair that school has to happen on your birthday but I'm sure it won't be too bad.
