We had an art day on Tuesday at school and Lil Man was inspired!
Check this out!
Nine year old artist
He wants to become an artist now…
Lil Princess, never one to be left behind, had a go too…

I’m actually very impressed, and rather a proud mummy!

Oh these kids… On a roll they are!
Lil Princess likes to help us set up in the classroom in the morning. Yesterday was no different.
She wrote the date…
Spot the deliberate mistake!

Lil Man’s new obsession is cars, and he’s convinced he sees Maseratis, Ferrarris, Maclarens all over the show… When they are something entirely different!
Today we were coming home from a particularly glitter-tastic Easter Craft Day …
LM: Mum! Look! A crisis!
Me: (looking worried) Where? What’s happened!?
LM: In front of us, there! A crisis!
Me: (rolling eyes) Oh, you mean a Chrystler…

It’s time for my little dose of flash fiction, thanks to my friend The Book Blogger!
Check out the challenge here!
This week the song prompt is California Dreaming, by The Beach Boys…
Ooh, I’m sure I could have fun with this!
It’s a glorious day, the sun is blazing, I’ve got my rag top down, cruising the streets, en route to the beach. Off to meet my girls, for an afternoon of fun and frolics. It’ll be great! Drink in hand, chilling on the sand, watching the muscle heads exercise, the girls in their skimpy bikinis strutting their stuff.
But I miss what I’d be doing back home. There probably wouldn’t be sun, more like rain… No beach, but some shopping, watching the pennies draining from my purse…oh, and a cup of tea!
And I’m here, sitting in California… dreaming.
Ok, so it’s not as great as the others but forgive me, it’s the Easter holidays, the kids are driving me insane and it’s only day 1!!!

We had a lovely evening meal out today, my colleagues and I, celebrating the impending retirement of one, and the up coming 30th birthdays of two lovely ladies!
It was one of those Chinese order what you want, buffet style restaurants, piping hot fresh food for a set price.
Today is my veggie day, Tuesday… (Don’t ask, I’ll explain in another post!) so I, along with three others, ordered the vegetarian starter platter, with spring rolls, seaweed, mushrooms, tofu, crispy wantons…
Well it was all lovely until I came across the wantons, which were essentially filo pastry, folded up like a wanton… But transparent… Nothing in there! Literally just the pastry! As I bit into one, the wanton flaking around my mouth, my pocket sized, soon to be 30 friend, piped up “Crispy Wanton? More like Crispy wanton-Earth is this!!!”
Love the quick wit of my dear friends!!
Oh, and did I mention the vegetarian selection included Monk Duck and Monk Chicken… So… Is that duck and chicken fed purely on a vegetarian diet? Celibate duck or chicken? No, it was a Tofu style dish made to look like, and taste like either duck or chicken! Mock Duck or Mock Chicken more like!!!!
