This morning I went food shopping. I popped into the charity shop next door and came out with these five balls of mohair wool for 50p each. I was thinking of crochet and loom flowers although I might see if I can find a pattern for something for the three balls of peach. There are three balls of peach, one ball of dusky pink and one ball of a rust colour.
Since Tuesday (when Roman made rice crispy cakes at club) he has been asking me to buy rice crispies and chocolate when I went shopping. He wanted to make more rice crispy cakes. He said "can I do it by myself mom, I know what to do!"
Here he is mixing chocolate and butter over a bain marie.....

Anais made us laugh when she came home from school, firstly she got her maths homework out the way. For her English homework she needed to ask us question's on what Birmingham was like when we were little. Conversation went something like this -
Mark - "Ask mom, she has lived in Birmingham all her life, I was born in Stourbridge"
Anais - "Where's that? Is it in Europe?"
Mark - (laughing) "It's down the road"
Anais - "I'll ask mom, your too old to remember anyway"

Not much done on PROJECT TAPESTRY today........
........as I have also been reading and finished Helen Fielding "Bridget Jones - Mad about The Boy". Not as good as previous two but still had me laughing out loud in places and welling up with tears in others. Definately worth a read though if you are a Bridget Jones fan, I could relate to a lot of the parent stuff - especially the headlice thing!
Father Christmas brought this for Roman for Christmas as he is mad on rockets.
Tonight Roman and Mark made the plaster of paris and filled the moulds. They now need to be left for 48 hours to dry and then Roman can paint them, he is hoping they are dry for tomorrow. To speed the drying process up Mark put them on the wine heater mat!
Tonight the kids watched "Race to Witch Mountain" on Netflix. Pleased to say we have lost the majority of our cable channels for a week now and not once has anybody missed any or moaned for The Disney Channel. They have both enjoyed watching films on Netflix instead :-)
