Despite the apparent pinkness of my blogysphere, I am not really a terribly girly girl. No really lovely readers, pink and flowers are my work style more than my personal attire. But recently there are days when I feel I am completely overwhelmed by the beautiful boy and his boyishness in our home. Despite my best efforts to the contrary, the latest thing in this house is guns.... plastic guns, guns fashioned from twigs, metal key-ring guns and even real guns (supervised, obviously!). Even on a country walk we come home with gun memorabilia... clay pigeons, shot cartridges.... guns are the thing wherever I turn....
Quietly waiting for the phase to pass, trying very hard not to cause a scene and thereby give it some undue importance, I am wearing more pink than is usual... resulting in the resurrection of this very old pink t-shirt...
worn for an accidental shopping trip with Mrs Bobobun and her gorgeous, pretty and gun-free girls...which in turn resulted in these....
affectionately known to my girlfriends as 'The Mid-life Converse" and my oh my they make me smile amidst the lego tanks, the brio catapults, the hot wheels car smashes and the array of animal bones being soaked in bleach solution in the kitschen (I kid you not - we are assembling a skeleton collection!)...
And then I came upon this...
Seems my darling boy has not entirely gone to the other side quite yet - mummy still has a little influence in his dear little life! Hurrah to that!
Now. Did you think I had stopped shopping? Have I not shared any thriftiness of late? A catch up is needed I am sure - back soon! t.xx

Love the mid-life converses - mine are purple.

But at the same time the boys bake and sew - have I got too much influence, on them, or not enough? We don't have any bling warriors, as far as I know, though...

My mother was just like this with my brother. Pellets and bullets everywhere.
I thought you were pink and fluffy. My illusions are now completely shattered.
