Project 366 week 14

Feel it is beginning to ease back a bit now. Have left a few of the bedtimes to Fifi this week with her being on school holidays and apart from her swimming her other activities have stopped for the duration. Been quite nice to have a few evenings that I have not had to nip down. Once she does not need us in the morning/evening I can go during the day and take them off her hands for a while instead. Minky has been much better behaved in general this week, certainly not as trying as the previous week.

Sunday

Decided to treat myself to a halogen oven to save having to put the oven on for small amounts of food. Have heard people rant about them, not overly impressed so far when I tried it for roast chicken and tatties, but the cakes came out fine.



Monday

Round for bedtime as Fifi goes swimming on a Monday evening so she was not available to help. Here is Bob relaxing with baby Spud once the gruesome twosome were in bed.





Tuesday

Dinky has her hop hop bunny bobbles in. Her hair goes into wee ringlets and looks very lovely, though I am sure it will annoy her later in life if it stays as curly. She was playing hiding under the table and kept peeking out at me.






Wednesday

Every time you try and get a picture of Minky he runs away, tells you "no say cheese grandma" . Here is a classic example. He had been stood up smiling and laughing until the camera came out.





Thursday

Bobs birthday party on Saturday( although not his birthday until the 17th)  so my daughter was looking for a quick simple way to make a cake for him, she decided on wee cakes with writing on, so I hunted out my alphabet and some ready made icing and took it down for her.



Friday

Fifi is doing the bedtime tonight. So as I have not had time for myself in an evening for a while I decided I would make time for  a workout. I quite like these ones, though I normally go for the three mile but did not have enough time.






Saturday

Have managed to get another part of Ziggy's blanket done. I chose the pink rabbit as my daughter had one with a pull string that played Brahms Lullaby for her second Christmas and it use to get wound up half the night much to her big sisters annoyance. One of these daft family links I felt had to be added. She still has the rabbit and it still works.

  6. I've never used a halogen oven so can't say on if they're good or not. I love the bunny blanket though. Hope the birthday party goes well!

  7. the blanket is coming along nicely and it sounds like this week was not quite as hectic as the previous couple. hurrah! its funny how children try to avoid the camera isn't it? Mind you my two are always asking me to take their pictures now! My inlaws have a halogen oven, i don't know how often they use it but i think she finds it quite useful x
