The boys are back in town

Our extended family has extended even further with the arrival of our first nephew.  He is SCRUMPTIOUS!  In fact he is so cute that number 3 for our family keeps coming to mind.  Fortunately my terrible morning sickness is still fresh in my mind.

What you looking at - PUNK!

Having a Nigella Lawson Morning

I have been in the mood for cooking this morning.  Perhaps its due to the supermarket delivery man appearing on our doorstep this morning.  Oh if you don't get your groceries delivered, I would highly recommend it.

Started out with making some toasted muesli, then moved on to this:

No Cook Hummus

6 cloves garlic, minced
5 tbsp tahini
Juice from 2 large lemons
1/3 cup olive oil, plus 1 tbsp (for browning garlic)
1/3 tsp salt
1/8 to 1/4 cup water
3 cans chickpeas (5 cups), drained and rinsed thoroughly




You don't need to use the most expensive brands - ya!

 Brown the garlic in a pan with 1 tbsp oil over medium hear for about 3 minutes.  In a large food processor, add the tahini, lemon juice, oile oil, salt, browned garlic and one cup of chickpeas.

Process the mixture until everything is mashed, then add another cup of chickpeas and process.  Reat until all have been added.  * Add some of the water if the mixture becomes too dry.  Blending should take place for several minutes, until the hummus is smooth and creamy.

Fresh buns, shaved ham, avocado and fresh hummus for lunch today!

Somethings going on here......

Crumbs this is the music that is currently cranking out at our place.  I am LOVING IT.  And no its not just this song its a whole CD of them.

Boys and Puddles

Seriously!  What is it with boys and their need to jump and run in puddles.  My boys take it one step further and have a bath in them - including washing their hair!

All morning I was being super strict on making sure they didn't go near the puddles as it feels like it is Sub 0 degrees outside.  I made it all morning without having wet size 2 and 4 pants, until the kindy pick up, there was the tiniest puddle in the carpark and my kids managed to find it!

Two sets of wet socks, wet shoes, wet pants - thankfully there was no hair washing today.

SERIOUSLY!

3, 2, 1 Blast Off

Look what the boys and I have been doing over the last two days.  So stoked with how they turned out.  Another tick off the project list - now to do something for me!

They are SO proud of them - can't wait for all the glitter in the flames to be picked off and scattered through their beds!  NB:  Read with sarcasim tone! :)

Yes they are virtually identical - needs to be otherwise there are arguements as to who's is who's!

Project Update

Remember that FABULOUS table I bought at auction???  Well here it is in all its bare glory.  Sanded, rubbed with Turps (discovered hideous Borer holes), and ready for the last of its make over.





 And these........hmmmmm two white squares, that's really exciting.  Well actually there are three (eekkkkk) and they aren't finished.  Come back and see the results!  (soon hopefully, just need the temperature to increase so they can be spray painted!)
