Evie and Nell try on many, many outfits and sparkle for the camera.

Pasta

August 21, 2012

Today the boy and I made fresh egg pasta for lunch.

This was a true family project. George wanted to make some Angry Birds for his homework this week. There was help from Mum on the modelling, using Sugru covered bouncy balls, then some time in the workshop with Dad making the catapult. It works really well..a bit too well, as there are now birds bouncing all […]

A Teeny Pond & Ray the Bird

June 23, 2011

Hello everyone, George here. This weeks homework word was ‘Pond’ so I decided to build a miniature pond in the garden. I used a stone trough that I used to grow some little plants in. First I filled it with soil then I collected moss from around the garden to make some grass. Next I […]

Pork Thai Curry

I don’t feel so guilty about this homemade version though because it’s low-fat and I can choose the quality of […]

Decisions Decisions

September 24, 2010

I made some cakes today so that Nell and Evie could decorate them as a little extra treat for their 3rd Birthday. Decorating cakes is a very serious business indeed and Nell concentrated on getting it just right. Meanwhile Evie was more inclined to eat the icing. I can’t blame her. I had a few spoonfuls too. […]

George’s Mini Pizza’s

January 16, 2010

I wanted a pizza for lunch, but all we had was crumpets, so I asked Mum if I could make some mini pizzas out of them. The ingredients are one crumpet, some tomato puree and ketchup, cheddar cheese and parmesan and a snipped up Peperami. The tomatoeyness squidges into the holes in the crumpets. First […]
