Smile catchup

Been a few days but still smiling :) On Friday we did some baking - to save arguments the children had a tray each so we ended up with 36 cupcakes. We had great fun decorating them until Ben and Tom discovered the shortcut of squeezing the icing directly into their mouths bypassing the cake completely - much quicker but very messy!!


On Saturday Mum and I took them to the cinema to give John some peace to get a presentation ready although judging by the few lines he had written when we got back I am pretty sure he watched sport for 3 hours - the funny thing is he thinks I dont know :):) We saw The Water Horse - which all 3 really enjoyed - it was Ben's first visit to the cinema so he asked lots of loud questions :)

On Sunday we had fun with glue and made spoon monsters from a kit Ben had got for his birthday - great fun adn as there were 4 spoons in the pack I got to make one too.

Think the feathers tickled Sophie's nose :)

Ben is still a milkaholic - makes me smile the pleasure he gets out of a simple cup of milk :)

In an attempt to get Ben to even put a carrot stick in his mouth I encouraged Tom and Sophie to pretend to be Sabre Tooth Tigers - they had great fun and it worked - for a split second there was a raw vegetable in Ben's mouth - he didnt bite it and it wasn't there long enough even for a photo but he did try :):)
