Babies and more ice cream.

Yesterday we went to visit my friend who had her baby last week.
Meet Zachery,

Clark loves babies so he had a cuddle,

Eden doesn't "do" babies but even she had a cuddle,

Yesterdays ice cream was strawberry.

Today's is meant to be banana but it's yet to made as the boys time has been taken up on this,

One of Edens friends came up over the Holiday weekend and he had a go too,

The picture was taken on my tablet and the quality isn't as good as my phone.
The boys are off to Karate this evening, I've just watched Spring watch on playback so hopefully tonight I'll be able to watch it in real time in peace and quiet.

Changing my blog!

I think it's naturally evolving into a food blog!

Callum made blueberry ice cream

Today he's made some strawberry ice cream too.
I went to see my friends new baby today and had a lovely cuddle, pictures tomorrow hopefully.
Thank you all for Meddys birthday wishes, she had a very chilled day.
I'm getting an early night as we've had such a busy weekend, so night, night x

How Could I forget?

                                     Medina is twelve today

                                    Happy Birthday Meddy x

No baking Day!

Just kidding!! As if?
Clark's been baking, he made this huge rectangle of cornflakes covered with chocolate with a little bit of treacle mixed in.
He had to wait for it to set before he cut it so I took a picture quick.

He's also made a chocolate sponge but I'm not allowed to take a picture and show it off yet as he's got to put the topping on.
This morning I woke up with my technical head on and not a lot to do so I explored the settings and layout on my blog, clicked on a few things and look where it got me.
There are still a couple of things I'd like to do but it's really hard to "click and drag" on a tablet! The whole thing moves alongside what you're trying to move. Very frustrating!
This afternoon Malc dropped Eden into town to meet some friends for a couple of hours and when he got back we all settled down and watched a DVD whilst trialing Callums raspberry ice cream topped with a few raspberries and some whipped cream.
Everybody gave it the thumbs up.

He has already got some blueberries and strawberries  to have a go at making different ice creams.
Hopefully this evening will be a quiet one in front of even more TV.
 Sometimes it's good to just be!

Ice cream

Last night Callum made raspberry ice cream.
It was his first attempt.

 He bought himself an ice cream maker from Lidls with his saved up money.

I've had a little spoonful to taste it before it went in the freezer and it was gorgeous!
He also made some meringues and swirled chocolate into them which I've not had a chance to take a picture of yet.

He's planning on making some banana ice cream today.

How will I ever maintain my svelte like figure with all these goodies being made in the kitchen every day?

Baking, sleeping and another furry!

Soloman has a cabin bed which has a desk underneath, ladder up to his bed and space for a small wardrobe under the bed, this saves space as the youngest three all share the biggest room. Last night he decided that he wanted to sleep under the desk part of the bed, so he pegged some blankets over the top of the framework to make himself a tent. He told me he wanted to sleep there so I said he could thinking that he would be back in his proper bed within an hour as he was only on pillows and blankets on the floor.

He slept there all night and woke about 8 o'clock this morning!
Unfortunately now Cody is saying he wants to sleep there with him tonight!
Callum had another bake up last night and made these brownies, which I assure you were lush and just melted in your mouth.

He also made these chocolate chip and cranberry cookies

Today we went to our local pet shop as we had to get a new cat flap ( even though we don't have a cat!) Chumleigh put his head through it and broke it, he backed out of it with it hanging round his neck like something off of You've been Framed!
In the entrance to the shop they have two huge plastic dinosaurs, they are priced at £1400, I would so love to have one!
Soloman and Cody wanted their picture taken with them.

We then went to a charity shop which is next to the pet shop where I managed to get some card making things and a couple of DVD's.
Clark bought himself another furry, a hamster this time, he has mice already so thought he'd have a change, although I haven't got a picture of the actual hamster this is what Chumleigh and Tyxall thought of it.

Malc is out with the Beavers at the moment on a hike round Wareham Forest, luckily the rain has passed and the sun has decided to come out.
Eden and Clark are off to Youth Club and Scouts respectively in a little while.
Eden had a textiles exam today and is looking forward to Half Term to chill and revise some more. She still has eleven exams left.
We've got nothing planned for the Bank Holiday weekend, we'll just poodle along and see where the days take us.
Whatever you're doing I hope you have a good one.

Good News

One of my closest friends had a baby this morning

It was a blue one!
Named Zachery, Ely, Leo. Born at 6-16 am weighing 6lb 15ozs.
She now has four boys like me, (I always say, thank goodness I had my girl first!)
I can't wait to go and see them all and have a newborn cuddle.
I'd better leave it a couple of days, that'll give me time to get my knitting needles out!
