Piggies

I am selling my piggies. Its a sad, sad day.

You see, we have had a severe drought and now severe downpours.

This means we have no grass and lots of mud. Whilst pigs love mud they also love food and the breed of pigs we have eat mainly grass.

So I'm being very adult about this and hoping and praying they go to a good home and NOT the freezer.

My gorgeous Dudley and Delilah.

Back to front day

Today we had an upside down, back to front day.

We started with pudding for breakfast, yep chocolate cake.

(I have to admit that I had toast instead)

Then for lunch we had dinner.

And for dinner I made porridge crumpets (breakfast).

All you need is left over cold porridge then you add enough flour to make a dough.

Roll it out to about 2.5cm thick (1/2 inch) and fry in a little butter.

When cooked you can split ( I leave whole) and pour over golden syrup.

Serve hot.

Cool blogs I have found

I am loving right now Centsational girl

and Fabulous on a Teachers Salary.

Granny suare cushion

In the evenings I have been crocheting a cushion cover for my girls room.

I thought I was doing a great job until........

I saw it in daylight. Can you see it? Some of my borders are white and some are cream.

Hehe. Major bummer. I have had to redo it.

I will post photos of the finished cover soon.

Pre schooling-circle week

I was inspired by Delicious Ambiguity's tot school.

So this week for me is circles.

Mon: Craft Circle (see above)

Tues: Read The very hungry caterpillar (he eats circle shaped holes)

Wed: Eat decorate round biscuits with icing and sprinkles (see below)

Thurs: Science/Maths Line up coins biggest to smallest. Do coin rubbings

Fri: Find something in the house that's a circle

Button turns 14

When our children have a birthday, they get to decide what flavour cake they want me to bake and what they
would like me to cook for their birthday dinner.

This year we had swagman roll (kind of like a big mince pastie/sausage roll), garlic bread and coleslaw.

Button chose a coffee cake. I have to say it was a pretty good cake considering I dont like coffee.

Happy birthday my darling.
