February fevers and snowmen called Barry

I missed a week! I'm sorry. Last week was hectic and the boys and I had ear aches and temperatures. We hardly did anything all week so when it got to friday and I felt better we made homemade pizza's and chocolate cake! I know it's not a new recipe but I've never made homemade pizza on my own before so that was new. We also had snow last week too meaning Frankie was out in it making snowmen and footprints. All week he has had his wellies on out in the snow looking at the pattern his feet are making. Our snowman was called 'Barry' maybe becuase that our plummers name. It was funny when he started to melt and Frankie looked out of the window and said "Oh No Barry's head has fallen off!"

"Oh No!" I said "We will have to find a new plumber now!" Frankie looked confusewd but then said "No Mummy the snowman not Nanny and and Papa's man" (Barry is a family freind and has been my father-in-laws plumber for years)  

As well as his speech, his teenage attitude is coming along! He asked me to get him a drink one day last week and I said "Just give me a minute," he put his hands on his hips and said "I know I'm doing the washing up!" and he stormed out of the kitchen. I could not help but laugh.   



George and the cake!

New tapes, new teeth new haircut

This week, though I have not done a new recipe like I said I would, I am going to the lads tonight to have a fish dish. I am not yet sure what that will be but as I've only tried cod and haddock I'm thinking it's going to be something new for me. We will see then I will comment! So instead of a new dish we have had new tapes fitted in the bathroom today, they are silver and shiny unlike the gold ones we used to have. Also this week George has as a tooth which is a first for him and Frankie has a new haircut which is not a first for him just long overdue! He screamed the entire time making me feel awful but as soon as it was done he told me he was beautiful. Also this week I had a brilliant driving lesson and booked my driving test. I'm not saying what the date is in case it goes wrong! Still wish me good luck at the end of feburary some time.

I think next weeks new dish will be sweet and sour chicken so see you then
