My Brother can Dance!

My little bubsie boy has woken up poorly today with a temperature and a nasty chesty cough. He spent most of his day asleep on me or awake on me. So that meant i spent the day sitting with him while Jake played his xbox. Boohoo! :(

I managed to shimmy Ethan off me onto the sofa while he was asleep, so i gave butter tablet another go. Completely forgot to get a picture again! I have nearly got it, you can still taste the grainy sugar, i need to boil it for another 10 minutes at least. Still, it did taste really good. I think ill knock it on the head for christmas and look for something else.

Ethan did perk up toward the end of the day and disappeared for a bit. He came into the living room when everyone was in saying, 'All gone, Mummy. All gone.' We all questioned him, asking what he had been doing. He just kept repeating,'all gone.' Dad and i went into his bedroom and noticed a few chocolate buttons were in his bed (these are the buttons i bought to do some baking with him) and a wrapper in the bin. Definately all gone Ethan! We were all laughing!

When Ethan settled to bed, Jake, Rachel and I started messing around with the movie, 'Bride and Prejudice'. Jake does the male part in the wedding scene really well! Check out his moves;



Like a natural yeah? Impressive stuff Jake. And thats about it for today. Poor mummy was staying up to finish an essay that is due in tomorrow so will be up late. I was umming and arring about coming home tomorrow instead of Saturday, just because i felt ready to go. We will see.

We like Cakies.

I haven't had a lie in in agggessss! So i had one this morning :) My family sorted Ethan out with breakfast so i could have another half hour in bed. It was lush!

After getting washed and dressed, Ethan, Jake and I went down to Wellington town. It's such a nice day! Wilkinson's do the cheapest Pick n Mix i have ever seen so Jake and i filled a bag each. I only spent £3.50, Jake spent £5.50! He is sweetie mad! I wanted to bake some cakes for the family home evening treat so i also bought some smarties and buttons. I forget how cheap Wilko's is - I am planning to make everyone Christmas presents this year and i couldn't believe the price of their photo frames! I bought 2 massive dark wood frames for only £6.00 each. The only way we can do it this year is through selling things on Ebay to raise the cash, so i only had enough for two. When i sell some more stuff ( i have a load due to end on Wednesday) ill buy the rest.

When we got in, i started baking straight away, and this is what i came up with;

I left the ones on the left in a little too long. Still flipping yummy!






I made 30 in all. And yes, within 5 hours, they were all gone. Half way through cooking Ethanog came to me saying, 'bob, bob, Susan!' Meaning, please put Monster's verses Alien's on;

Mum didn't get home until 7.00pm from her job - i hate it when she comes in late. Lucky for her i started dinner so she didn't have to worry about making it. We had family home evening and listened to a talk from conference. I made everyone sit for this;

It's kind of weird not having the older two boys home. I do love my family so much. Hopefully at Christmas we can have a photo together. We shall see. After FHE, Tom was playing with Ethan. I had to get it on camera because it was so cute to watch;

I thought i would include this last picture for a laugh;

This is Jacob, sitting playing COD at midnight. I had stayed up late because i had really got into the book i was reading. Jake is talking to someone through the head piece while running around shooting people. I think this was about hour 4 into his stint. What is it with boys and playing computer games for ages? I made a swift departure to bed!
