sleepovers

my nephew and niece were here for 2 nights having a sleepover, so we have been having heaps of fun!  First Water Wonderland, and baking gingerbread men, and choc chip cookie making and a whole day at the beach (snorkelling and the inflatable bolle board were the highlights), and it was too rainy for the zoo so we had my other nephew over for a play date morning here.  Busy, but fun.  And I’ve just cleaned the floors down here- which believe me, needed it more than the usual!  My niece loves baking with me so I use the opportunity while she is here to refill all the cookie tins- which were getting sadly low again… we also made anzac biscuits.

I gave Amy Crystal the unicorn which I had recently made, and gave Jacob the shark pencil case.  Amy loves the unicorn, and she requested one for Sophie, and she helped me choose the colours- pink and purple with a yellow horn.  She wanted me to start straight away and sat patiently watching while I made the horn and half the body, and then we moved on to other things (I’ll finish it soonish!)
