Twincess-Fest in Primark Pleather

My twins were 4 this weekend! Finding it hard to believe that this time 4 years ago I was recovering from a c-section and the shock of having two actual babies to look after. Not that I didn't know it was going to be twins - the ginormous bump would have been a giveaway had the scans not picked up on it:

On a weekend break at 36 weeks -
wondering if walking into the sea and getting swept away would be a good option!

but despite scan pictures and a Tamba twin preparation course, it was still a shock to be handed two babies

Happily, I soon perfected the twin baby juggle and zoom on 4 years, we're planning princess parties with Hello Kitty cakes. I know all mums say it and it's a bit boring but seriously, doesn't the time fly by?!

Anyway, the party was a great success. My friend Alicia from Bliss Nails came and did nail art for me and I got to explore face painting as a second career..

Unfortunately, my repertoire extends to butterflies only but luckily most of the kids were happy with that…by the time I did this last wee girl, I was flying it!

There isn't really a proper outfit photo - the one above and this next one will hopefully show off this dark teal/navy coloured Primark pleather fronted top that I picked up a couple of months ago for a bargainous £7. Being wipeable, it was a perfect choice for a messy party.

Pleather Top - Primark
Necklace - Vintage (last seen here)
Black Skinny Jeans - Gok 4 TU at Sainsburys (last seen here)
all worn with black River Island Ankle Boots

Oh and I get to show off my cake too (allow me a brief proud mummy moment). Looks impressive but it's a dead easy chocolate cake from Tana Ramsay's book enhanced with two boxes of Chocolate Fingers and a large bag of Maltesers. It was demolished before the day was over - anything with that much chocolate cannot be delicious!

So that's the twincessfest over for another year…let the Christmas planning begin!
