Mmm.....Cake!

March sees both MPLST's birthday and Mothers Day come and go within a few days and that makes for a busy dad. Aside from a double header of breakfast in bed (at the request of son no 1), mum also got a lie in on Mothering Sunday whilst we went to town with the kitchen table. Added to special meals and cakes, my kitchen repertoire has surely expanded of late....

I made that with my own fair hand so I did. By virtue that we had to hold that slice for a pic, I think it was a winner. I've decided to leave baking for the experts though and retire on a high, after all, you are only as good as your last cake!

The recent sunny spell presented us with the rarest of opportunities yesterday. We spent the afternoon at the park having a picnic with the other yummy mummies - something I'll no doubt spend most of the summer doing when MPLST returns to work next month. I won't rub it in....much. The Wee Man enjoyed himself just as much as I did......

Recently, R has enjoyed a game of Battleships with his grandad when we visit. He has decided that chores are the way forward to earned enough pennies to buy himself the game. Obviously, it is my duty to milk this until he moves on to the next phase of thinking that every little thing asked of him isn't fair. Today, I thought I'd get him to bring the washing in for the first time. He can't reach the line, but was more than keen to get the stool from the bathroom and persevere. And the best bit? He didn't ask for a penny.
