This day I love.......: sticking

Sunday

We had a lovely day with Lisa from Hollybobbs and her children. The girls all had fun running around and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine

Monday

We had a lovely evening walk round Sandal castle. If you are unsure about invading a castle you will need a dragon and my step by step guide

Tuesday

We experimented with different textures, colours and shades. We used the sea life colouring templates from Twinkl.

Wednesday

Another night with my youngest refusing to sleep. Instead she wanted to send random tweets to everyone, my apologies for that.

Thursday

New tactic to get the girls to sleep, lots of fresh air and running around after nursery. So we all enjoyed some monkeying in the garden.

Friday

My eldest wanted to play outside, I told her that we needed to put on sun cream first before we could go out. So she did although she denied it.

Saturday

We went to get my eldest a new bed as she is outgrowing her toddler bed and needs a full size single. I asked her which one she liked and she picked this one.

My youngest was a little tired after all the clapping she did during her lunch

So whilst she had a sleep my eldest and I did some painting, sticking and baking.

We began by making some Easter cards. My eldest loves to use her hands to paint so we used her hand print to make rabbits.

They are still drying at the moment but tomorrow we will stick on eyes and draw a mouth, nose and whiskers. She wanted to make something for her Daddy so I gave her a cut out shape of an egg, as well as some plain paper, lots of glue, glitter and paint and then I let her be creative

She had loads of fun paining and sticking. It was great because I could get a few jobs done whilst she was having fun.

After tidying up my eldest declared she wanted to bake. As its almost St Patrick day, we made some themed cookies.

For the cookies we used:

350g flour

1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda

1tsp salt

225g butter

175g caster sugar

175g soft brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 packet chocolate chips

green food colouring - to desired colour

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190 C

2. Mix flour, soda and salt together in a bowl

3. Combine butter, vanilla extract and both sugars in a bowl until creamy. Then beat in the eggs. Finally mix in the flour mixture and add the chocolate chips and food colouring.
