Cookie Baking Project

Look at them go!

After making their own jell-o, the kids thought they could have a go making cookies. I made Bryan scrub his hands before starting cos he had green Play-Doh in his fingernails! Derrick went out and got a box of M&M cookie mix. The kids loved every minute of it. Look at their faces! When they finish the cookies up, they'll be making Gingerbread Men.... and women...

TA-DAAA!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello family & kawan-kawan sekalian, here's wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous 2009 surrounded by loved ones and good food.
We are all recovering from the nasty bugs and I'm still coughing till my ribs are really sore. One more week of this and I swear I am gonna need some Depends.
But anyhoo... hope you all have a great day ahead and keep coming back for a read everyday!
With love,
Adelene

Getting Down and Messy........

Stirring the hot water and jelly crystals with a chopstick each

Now that Bryan's appetite's slowly returning after a day of debilitating gastroenteritis, he's requested for his "wobbly jelly". So I made it into a little project for the kids... 2 recipes... so each could prepare their own. The kids love Aeroplane's Toffee Apple.... to me, it tastes like cough syrup... but hey, if they love it... so be it. It's very easy to make actually, first add the jelly crystals into hot water, give it a good stir, then add cold water and then...

TA-DAH!!!! (Bryan insisted he did his "Ta-dah" pose by sticking out his tummy...)

Going... going......GONE!

Smithereens

Derrick and Bryan were startled by a loud BANG! last Monday while they were doing their daily reading. The sound seemed to come from the MBR en suite. Both father and son went to check but didn't see anything amiss.... and went back to task.....

After choir practice, I came back and went in for a shower and I thought the glass looked kinda unusual, upon closer inspection, I realised there was a straight crack from top to bottom and I could hear a symphony of snaps, crackles and pops continually....... within minutes, I could actually see the glass spider-webbing into smithereens. Luckily it's a type of safety glass, so it didn't shatter onto the ground but small bits did fall off on either side of the screen, so I had to evacuate.. and call the glass people....... who could only come to fix it ...... a week later!

Well, glass guy came at 8am and got the job done within the hour and VOILA! good as new.......

THERE, ALL DONE!

Look What Those Idiots Did.....

I wrote about marks left on my spanking new foundation, here it is. Those idiots ah.. the future of Australia.... scary thought eh? I haven't got good shots of it.. Wait till my brother-in-law email me the photos. His camera very tokong... I swear to you, I can see the ants on the floor in the picture if I zoom in. I know, I know, when the house is ready, I won't be able to see it.. but still..........
