Too wet to go out too cold to play ball
So we sat in the house we did nothing at all…
… Scoff! Don’t believe a word! Just like Dr Suez’s ‘Cat in the hat’ our day (ie a rainy day stuck inside with one grownup and two preschoolers) had bucket loads of drama and performance. Yessiree one minute the dark clouds gathered, the next the sun shone.
Anticipating restless natives, I took on the dramatic (and highly creative) roll of revered pastry chef. I donned the much coveted, voluptuous chef’s hat and strutted and gestured about my kitchen like a complete nutter, just so I could keep a weather eye on my two little monsters angels.
They loved it! And really, what’s not to love!? A show and refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere, sure sounds perfect to me. My standing ovation was played out in ‘licking the bowl’ squabbles. And tickets for the next show (ie two seats at the end of the kitchen bench) are already dibs’d.
So all in all our soggy day in was a big success. The reviewers said:
the cookies were yummy…
Mummy you should be a real chef…
(and my favourite)… I’m changing my name to Dora Olivia Lauren Cat
Pop over to Kirsty’s to find My Creative Spacers aplenty. Fun, fun!
looks like a lovely afternoon – we’ve just done the same thing making white chocolate, cranberry and oat cookies – yummo
sweet post…great photos…and I can send you my address for the next batch of cookies??
That’s an excellent name to change to!
Such beautiful pictures. Mind if I send my toddler and baby over to your house?!
Oh that’s the best kind of creative space!! Sounds like a lovely day.
Sounds like a great day in, and those baked goods look yummy.
Sounds like a perfect day to me.
Good for you for making the best of it. I am often guilty of not being creative enough on days like that!
What lovely shots!
