I thought Sunday was a day of rest ?!!!
It's been non-stop since getting out of bed this morning !
- off to Babou for a birthday present for Axel's birthday party on Wednesday (Sophie's first ever birthday party !)
- dying pumpkin seeds (from last night's belated Halloween lantern/pumpkin soup effort) various colours with food dye : next project for some time next week will be making necklaces or seed pictures
- making banana bread
- making and painting little bells for the xmas tree with egg boxes (Halloween and St Martin have now been and gone so we're gradually building up to Christmas ... and I'm worse than Sophie usually !!!)
- testing out the smoothie-maker - banana/milk/vanilla ice cream was too big a hit, I only got a third of a glass once Sophie and Juliette had polished it off though so next time, I'll wait until they're in bed !!!
- started making the reindeer family (that I bought at a bootsale back in the summer)
That was all the fun stuff, then there was all the usual schoolwork, cleaning & tidying and cooking. Roll on Monday so I can have a rest !!!
nice to know the kids are carrying on the tradition of eating all the yummy stuff before anyone else gets a chance,I haven't taught Sophie how to stick your finger in a jelly without leaving any trace,and how to nick the cream off posh cakes and then re-arranging the topping to disguise it(great trick when you are trying to impress your mates with an expensive cake that now looks like a half price reject!!)
