baking and crafting

the weather was fantastic, and really we should have done an out and about day, but it is remembramce sunday and SB was the guides flag/colour bearer. the village ceremony is alwyas well attended with a brass band service in the church. DH went with her this time, as BB prefered to remain at home.

WHilst they were out, we decided that we would craft she had wanted to play her new cello, but her wrist is far to hurting still and indeed it is bruised and tender the suspicious me wonders whether after all she has chipped or something a bone after all [tho i did look at xrays too. Choices were gardening, baking, crafting, lego, reading or k’nex. [she couldn't think of anything to do, the the roblox hours rules do seem to be having a postive outcome on her ability to think of something else to do] . where was i? oh yes, we crafted, and made fimo snakes to turninto charm necklaces as party favours for her birthday. she struggled with hurt hand to roll the fimo, so we had a production line, i softened it, rolled it, and she twisted the snake shape

SB and DH returned, and she finished off part B of her secret santa and then started a craft kit that she has had for a bit! Those that read the blog a lot know we heart djeco and this is a glittery kit and she happily did one. WHilst she did this, BB gave Alfie a bath, fed him lunch and he happily wandered about the conservatory in the warm.

SB and i then made dinner, she mostly made it with me facilitating and she made a lovely cheese and onion pie with roast potatoes and parsnips, and DH added some red cabbage . i have given up with pre cooking the pastry cases, and determined i don’t mind soggy bottoms [tho sb was chuntering about this ] and it was utterly delicious tho she did have to pop over to the onestop for double cream wearing her pj’s a pinny and a coat! [she got changed out of her guides smarts into pj's!]. both girls made some jam tarts with the spare pastry. SB also did some piano prac, and BB did crazy stunt dives onto cushions – at one point i thought we were in imminent danger of a broken neck so calmed the stunts down!

finished the day with merlin on the iplayer and then bedtime stories. lovely weekend
