Will's Show and Tell Friday 26th June 2009.

When I am a grown up, I want to be a baker.
I am going to give bread to everyone. I am going to bake some bread in my Baker’s shop. I will bake bread every Thursday and cakes every Wednesday.
I have made some bread to show you. To make bread you need special flour called Bread Flour, and you need salt, and sugar, and yeast. Yeast is really special because it makes the bread go bigger and bigger when it gets warm.
I measured the ingredients. You have to let the mixture rise and get bigger and then knead it. When you knead it you push and pull and squash the bread dough. I baked the bread at my Grandma’s house.

Twenty Five Days To Go...

Can you hear that? No? Me neither. It's as quiet as it comes at home this afternoon as everyone is either at school or sleeping!
I've taken this rare opportunity of solitude not to take a pleasant siesta, but to finally get around to packing a hospital bag, as there are indeed only, 25 days until Hurley Baby no.4 (a.k.a "Nono") arrives. In all previous pregnancies I have been packed and ready to go at least a month before my due date, and all that seems to have done is tempt fate and they arrive late. So I'm naively trying to trick fate into giving me an earlier baby by being laid back (to the point of slight panic creeping in)!

We have all been getting excited this week though, as I brought out all of the littlest tiny clothes for Nono from the loft, and Buzz kept attempting to try it all on! It's hard to believe that they were all once that small...
