This morning Little L and I made bikkies, choc chip ones actually in all sorts of shapes. Don’t you love how yellow the egg yolk is, so much brighter coming from our own chooks! The bikkies came out well and she did really well cutting out some shapes. Yay for choccy bikkies!

This week we had a very rainy day so I got out our pop up wiggles tent and a few extra bits to make it more fun. I got the ikea clothes airer and fixed it with sticky tape to stop it falling down (I was trying to use string but Miss K piped up [...]
