Welcome to the madhouse!!!

Homemade cake - impressed ?!!

Head chef/chief taster Sophie !

First stop ... pizza !!! (which everyone ended up eating so I didn't have to cook dinner at all !!! ) Well done Sophie !

Next stop, one of the recipes out of the Annabel Karmel family recipe book I won (Sophie's already earmarked about half of the book !)

Sophie took a picture of what it's supposed to look like in the book (putting the pressure on !!!)

and our attempts ...

All got scoffed very quickly .... even if the dog pinched the last one when Juliette wasn't looking !

Because I finally gave in and took them to Quick (the French equivalent of McDonalds) !

After playing in the soft play for about an hour (time to get nice and worn out !), we set off on a big walk to collect "nature treasure" - which mainly ended up being brightly coloured feathers from people's carnival costumes !!! We had a quick stop at a little park on the way home then got home and stuck it all on a collage. Right, everyone ready for bed now ? (I am !!!)

Sophie says, "that's the thing grandad made me bonk my head on" ! Some things never change !!!

The shopping trolley from Babou car park ended up in the car park opposite our house. Next day, Sophie saw it out of the window and said : " Look, that's the trolley grandad wanted to get me in trouble with the police with" !!!

But depending on the light, it looks anything from light silver to metallic gold ! Sophie says it's a "voiture de star" !!!

This was Monday, the one day it's been nice enough to go out and play.

Ever since a couple of years ago when I let the girls scribble all over the windows as part of the xmas decorations, they've been wanting to get the WindowColour pens out again.

I finally had a brainwave the other day - they draw/colour in what they want on a couple of glasses (freebie plastic glasses, of course ! ) and then when they go through the dishwasher, they come out clean again so they can start all over again !!!

Everyon's happy !!!
