Child labour

Ana arrived a little late this morning. Her daddy said they all slept in. I guess having a new baby might of affected their

they hadn’t had breakfast since I Ana what she wanted and asked for her bricks. No milk just the cereal

she asked to watch the demon hunters and then for Gabbys dollhouse.

she was happy to just watch the telly but I really don’t want her spending the whole day in front of the idiot

box.

I decided we needed to do some cooking

I asked her if she wanted to make cup cakes. The answer was a loud YES!

i usually buy the home brand cake mix and add to it

today I added a small packet of coco pops and folded them in at the end

you can see them in the little cakes

the whole lot was sent home to be enjoyed by the family. I’ve not had a report as yet I hope they tasted ok

then Ana wanted to make cookies. She had seen my cookie cutters and just wanted to use them

I found a simple recipe for gingerbread men Ana told me when they cook at daycare they always use a recipe. She made sure I followed the instructions correctly

once mixed I asked her to flatten it out on brown paper while I found the rolling pin

we then placed another sheet of paper on top and she had a good try rolling it out

she picked the cookie cutter shapes she wanted and we cut them all out

we had to keep smooshing the dough and the rolling to be able to cut more shapes she thought this was a brilliant idea because we don’t want to waste food

Obviously we had to use the gingerbread man. She then chose a flower shape and a heart shape

most of the finished cookies went home. Grandma didn’t have any icing sugar to decorate but her mummy said she did.

ill share the photos when i get them

Final verdict on how it tasted.

a big thumbs up

I’ll have to work out what we can make next week and make sure to have all the ingredients
