Jean is always coming out with funny phrasings and one of the things she said was, 'Baby Brain's at Pre-School!' she ment teaching the babies but it was just so funny escpecially when Alaric started doing zoombie impressions!
She still doesn't get why everyone laughs when she says baby brains though!
On a similar vain she has said her first swear word. It was the f one, she heard it in the park (teenage boys where playing football) so we had a discuession about the fact it was a rude word that can upset people and if she says it around adults they will tell her off. Then she wanted to know if she had been naughty and it was 'no becuase you didn't know did you? But now you do' she nodded sagely and asked if there were other words that upset people.
From here I ended up in a disguession about societies and different ethical systems. It is so interesting now she is at the why stage.
Dad's 62 nd birthday arrived and I made him an English Breakfast except it was a lunch and missing half the things!
Me and Jean had made him cup cakes which she presented to him 🙂
He still mantains that the Roswell Aliens where coming to pick his mother up when they crashed 😉
He seemed very happy to get fairy cakes with yellow icing and pink disney princess's on them - no accounting for taste I suppose!
Jean wanted to have chocolate tea with her breakfast and as she tends to have croissant with jam and honey I descided that she could indeed have hot chocolate with her breakfast if she foresook the jam and honey. She agreed and from some where in the back of mind a thought that this was a proper French breakfast emerged and I told her so - I then got down the two dish things with handles we have. For some reason I thought that you had to drink the hot chocolate out of a bowl for it to be proper and continential but where I got this idea from I can not say.
She loved it, and we discuessed different types of breakfast - she asked if she could have an English breakfast which I still have to organise at some point.
Anyway Dad is always asking me if I want a dish of Tea (or rather Tay) and to my amusement Jean asked me if this was a Dish of Tay! Chocolate Tay of course!
Anyone got any other types of breakfast she could try?
She's had Canadian - pancakes, baked beans, fruit and maple syrup at the Maple Feast back in the spring.
Last weekend Barbara went to a Mill with her friend George and then came back to have tea and cake in the garden. George is like 90 yrs old and done all sorts of amazing stuff. He is also a techy - yes he and Alaric have whole conversations that I can bearly follow.
Anyway we had been out and Jean gotten a little dart board thing with velcro darts etc... which she took round to each of us in turn and made us throw the darts and balls at the board.
Barbara had bought a guide book of the place they had been but had left it behind so we listened to their tales of what the place was like.
Becuase Jean had her friend around yesturday we organised to have Father's Day today as a suprise for Al (only slightly blown to bits by me obviously baking and Jean asking Daddy was she still going to decorate cakes with me!).
So we made a cake - its suposed to be a rocket but didn't quiet come out as planned - I think either I'm going nuts or the cooker is calibrated wrong - I insinerated my dinner the other night and even though I tribble checked the times for things managed to burn the cake and then forget to leave it too cool before turning it out onto the cooling racks :/
I also failed to make enough icing and made a hash of putting it on the cake anyway. Jean chose the colours so yes there is a lot of pink for a fathers day rocket and yes those are little pink hearts!
But we had fun making it 🙂
Jean also gave Daddy his card and presant she had made at pre-school.
Unfortunatly Al is in trouble with Barbara for not mowing the lawn this evening :/ And I mucked up her watering system which she told me to use earlier this evening.
But I think Alaric liked his cake - there are a lot of little fairy cakes Jean decorated too!
How I made the cake will hopefully soon appear on Salaric Cooking though I think it probably belongs on Cake Wreck to be honest!
