I've Been Busy

Alot has been happening that I have forgotten to blog about, well, haven't found the time is more like it. So what have we been up to?

We have made choc-chip cookies, I found the best recipe ever. This recipe is from the cadbury website. We remembered to take a few process shots.....



I hate creaming butter and sugar and avoid it at all costs, so we chucked it in the food processor.



The cookie dough...

We took them to a friends house and they all disappeared before we remembered to photograph the finished product. Whoops!

This morning we made some more and Monet asked if we could put some cocoa into the mixture to make them chocolate choc-chip cookies. We added 2 table spoons of cocoa with the flour, OMG, so luscious. This time we remembered to take a picture....




We made A few batches of cupcakes from the easiest recipe ever. I remember this recipe from when I had the magazine it was first published in. I love the taste website. It's Australian. So it is ingredients that I am familiar with. And now that all the recipes from those food ideas and good taste magazines are online, I don't have to leaf through 20 magazines every time I am looking for a recipe.

What else have we been up too? Potato stamping :-)
















This was so much fun, and we got some really good results. I think we will do this again if it rains this week.

Aaaarrggghhhh! The girls have been bringing the bunny inside. Now I love the bunny, but I do not like finding little bunny surprises around my house. They have been keeping him on the kitchen tiles which are easy enough to clean, but surprisingly, there have nit been any bunny surprises yet, yay!



He is soo cute!!!!! He has bucketloads of personality too, Monet ties a carrot to a string and he actually plays with it, like a cat. I didn't believe it till I saw it. My girls plan on winning a new tv on Funniest Home Videos.

Later in the week we will go to see Toy Story 3. I would like to know if anyone has seen it in 3D and do you think it is worth me driving half an hour and paying twice as much? Or should we just go to our local cinema?

Oops, I nearly forgot, I have also been making these.....



This is one I finished earlier.....



And here is a pile of half finished ones. I have an idea to make some corsages for them out of silk ribbons and a felted jumper. Who knows if I will get around to it....

Hope your holidays have been enjoyable, catch you all again soon :-)

Oh you have been busy baking lots of Yummy goodies.
Love the patatoe paintings too.
Did you know if you put a tray with kitty litter in the kitchen your bunny will use it.
