More firsts for the week

Our other first for the week is Sweetness got to start her ballet lessons on Tuesday.


She was so excited.

 Her teacher told me that she did a great job. I thought she might of been nervous to go by herself but she just took her teacher's hand and off she went. (sniff)
 Princess also has moved up a class and was very excited to get a new uniform too.
I think the ballet school will love us and our three little ballerinas:)

Pumpkin scones

In honour of Australia Day I decided to make some pumpkin scones (that and my pumpkin wasn't looking crash hot).

For those who don't know Pumpkin Scones are simply a variation on the British scone only of course made with pumpkin which is a vegetable readily available here.

My reciepe was simply

3 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/4 cup honey (capilano)
1 cup cooked pumpkin mashed
50 grams butter
1/2 cup milk

1. Cook chopped pumpkin till tender
2. Cream butter and honey together
3. Add pumpkin
4. Mix in milk
5. Add flour cup at a time.
6. Flour bench top
7. Knead mixture
8. Flatten to about 1cm
9. Cut out with circle cutter (our was a very small one)

10. Place next to each other on grease paper on tray. They need to be place right next to each other so they rise up rather than flatten out.
11. Bake in preheated 200 degree oven for 15 minutes.
12. Serve hot with lots of butter.

My girls who are fussy eaters ate 3 each and have been bugging me for more. 
Looks like I have a yummy school lunch box item.

Big Day for us



I can not begin to tell you what a bad night sleep I had last night. It took ages to get to sleep and then every time I would wake up or be woken up and I couldn't stop thinking that this baby of mine  





was going to be doing this today. (sob)




She had such a lovely day but I couldn't stop thinking that this

wasn't all that long ago (sniff sniff).
