Painting Dog Dog's Kennel

Today we went to Maj's place for a play date. We had so much fun hanging with Maj and her Dadda and her friends. When we got home we started to paint Dog Dog's Kennel



Aloysius

Aloysius is a very silly kitty. Today I caught him with about half a meter of ribbon down his throat. He was chewing it like it was grass!! We have always known he's a little 'special' Here he is chewing on the ribbon. He has about the same amount that you can see in the above pic, down his throat!

My First Remote Controlled Car

Poodle purchased Boncie his first remote controlled car today. Poodle said it was really for Boncie but me thinks a large part of the purchase was also for his entertainment!!!! Boncie LOVES the car, poor Poddle doesn't get much of a go on it as Boncie is too attached!!

Baking Today

Today Boncie and I made some shortbread. Boncie was such a great help! I measured all the necessary ingred. while Boncie put all the ingred. into the Kitchen Aid mixer. Boncie also helped roll the balls and press the fork into them. Below is the finished results. Now....time to taste test......
Boncie also asked if we could bake some bacon and egg pies so we whipped up some short crust pastry and made some mini bacon and egg pies.
Boncie also helped make a carrott cake for our neighbours and a banana cake for GG Pups. This boy loves his baking just like his Mumma!!!!

Playdoh

Boncie and I had a day full of 'making stuff'. I asked Boncie what he would like to do today and he said he'd like to make playdoh, pink in fact!! Pinks his fave. colour at the moment. So we whipped up some pink playdoh with red glitter in it.
One very happy little man with his pink playdoh
