Saturday saw Jean's fifth birthday and it was dinosaur themed!
I haven't got all the photo's yet but here are a couple to be getting on with 🙂
Mum made Jean a triceratops outfit from Sew a Dinosaur a book I picked up in a charity shop 🙂 It is a fantastic outfit and came out better than in the book (she made some adjustments!).
We had dinosaur biscuits 🙂 Jean made!
And a Dinosaur and Volcano cake!
Jean announced that I am the Bestest Baker in the whole world when she saw the cake 🙂
We also had volcano cupcakes! 
Food wise there were also over 90 dino cupcakes with either flintstones or jelly dinosaurs on them! And dinosaur shapes sandwiches and little dino chocs me and Jean spent three days making!
Me and Jean also made Hama dinosaurs as decorations 🙂
Jean also decorated lots of cardboard dinos as decorations 🙂 These also appeared in the Dino make and do along with stickers and cloth party bags for the kids to decorate!
We had a pre-historic safari where we found a mother load of dino goodies 🙂 (even if the kids didn't believe that Alaric was a real trail leader especially once Rob turned up in his National Geographic gear!). There were a few party games and the Land Before Time I, II and III for the kids to watch in the evening 🙂
I was a little bit behind with putting the food out and forgot I had made Jelly and ice-creams for the kids but think it went well 🙂 Jean liked it anyway 🙂
This week (19th-22nd of July 2010) my friend is appearing on GMTV's Chiefs at Sea competition making her stunning desert! I've written a post on it on Salaric Cooking.
You can vote for the dish you like best!
Omnomnomnom!!!!
Due to my immune system and general health it was recommended that I might benifit from this company called Graze - they deliver healthy snacks to your house! It arrives in the post and is just there and wow - vanillia seeds!!!!
There are different nutrition plans you can go on 🙂 I'm on the immune system boost and the energy - they are low GI snacks meaning they are brilliant for diabetics and stuff (from my understanding of things at least!). You can select what you do and don't want to receive 🙂
Anyway I am really really impressed with them and they've given me a code to give out so people can get like a free sample thingy it's:

30 cubs and 18 odd scouts descended on us for their end of term BBQ and backwoods cooking!
Jean thought this was great 🙂
Edam sponsored the event and provided these great chiefs hats which I sort of made everyone including dad wear 🙂
I had to include this picture of JEan and Al - Alaric was marching along trying to get everything ready and Jean took up his perposful stride 🙂
The only issue with the event was that obviously there were alot of cars involved and so we were on the watch to make sure Barbara's lawn wasn't ripped up with manuvours.
Barbara has turned 75! three quarters of a centry so we baked her cake and made some sandwitches and told her to invite some people to dinner.
The cake was chocolate cake with lots of topping as she had said she likes lots of topping! I also put chocolate chips and things on it 🙂 It was obviously a 75 - Barbara confessed she was scared I'd made a watering can or something tacky like that :/
The cake went down well even if Barbara had phoned Mary in a panic and got her to bring a cake round as I had planned to make the cake Sunday morning so it would be nice and fresh and as there was no obvious finished cake Sunday morning Barbara was panicking she'd have nothing to feed her guests.
(we were at a Wedding the night before in London!)
Barbara's friend Hanna brought a balloon round for Jean which was an instant hit!
And then it was presant time!
The Dutera is a pretty plant but came with a warning that it has poisonous bits so to watch Jean.
It seemed to go very well.
