She tells me "Mum, you can EAT all the FUN that you make!"
She was really excited to open her first gift :)
She was though dissapointed, upon seeing the black and white Manual/Recipe book. She said "Where are all the fancy color pictures? This is supposed to be an Activity Kit they said!"
It's hard to explain to her that Infomercials, as amazing as they seem (I am personally addicted to them) that sometimes they....well....embellish a little ;)
Anyhow, we'll be making Cake Pops this weekend to hand out as Christmas Treats for the neighbors. Anyone ever make any? Any tips? Where do I find replacement sticks? I can't wait to try it! I am most definitely going to be reading up on some Bakerella tutorials!
Finley also came home from school with this really neat idea they made at school. Check out how easy and fun this would be to do with your child! Mix glitter and oats. Done!! :)
I thought I was all done with my Christmas shopping (I may have gone a little overboard this year. Mr. SLD tells me it's ok since I'm still new to this. But I think he's just hoping that I got him a lot of gifts ;) I actually went overboard on Finley, but shhhhhh.....we don't need to tell him that ;)
Anyhow, I thought I was done with shopping, until last night I got into bed with Finley to read her bedtime books. We started one book and she stopped me and said "Mummy is this book by Jan Brett? I really love her books, and she is a very good artist."
Huh? How many kindergartners know books by their author/illustrator!!??
She told me she loves some of her books she's read at school, like "The Mitten"
I guess I better go shopping and see if I can find some Jan Brett Books in this tiny town! :) When a 5-year old asks for books by author, I figure I have to comply with the request, no?! ;)

My dd got me a cake pop maker for Christmas ;-) I am not sure what stores you have locally. We get the sticks at JoAnn's, Michaels or ACMoore. Amazon has them too. I have not yet tried my new cake pop maker (obviously ;-)) but one general tip for the coating: Put the end of the stick in the melted chocolate before putting it in the cake pop and then let it dry completely. Put it at least half way in better a tad more. This is important to keep the cake pop on the stick when dipping it in the melted chocolate. If it is not thin enough add some vegetable oil. Have fun! Oh and Happy Chanukah!
