I've just had to tell Master Frugal off when he had a bit of a mood because he couldn't watch Ben 10 before bed. I tried to rationally explain to him that it was bedtime and if he didn't get some sleep he would be tired tomorrow. I told him that he didn't want to be tired and moody in the morning as he's going swimming with his grandad.Do you know what he said?Are you still talking mum because all I can hear is rar rar rar?Needless to say, his Daddy is in a LOT of trouble when he comes in from work as he said that to me this morning when I was leaving him a nice list of jobs for … [Read more...]
How to make Halloween meringue ghosts….
When I saw that English Mum was having a Kids Halloween Bake off as part of her Great Big Autumn Bakeoff, I mobilised the kids and we got cooking (this was way easier said than done as they were engrossed in a film at the time!). Miss Frugal pored over her recipe books (she takes after me with this fetish) and discovered that the only thing we actually had all of the ingredients in for was Halloween meringue ghosts, so I proudly present to you, our entry for to the kids Halloween Bake off.... How to make your very own halloween meringue ghosts! 4 large egg whites 115g sugar 115g icing … [Read more...]
Halloween Story Cards….
We've made a set of story cards before (here) and we still play with them every now and again so I thought we could make a Halloween set of cards so we could tell some spooky Halloween stories this week.Last time we made our story cards using a mix of some cut up birthday cards and some rather pathetic looking drawings but today I thought we could do some colouring as well so I printed out some Halloween colouring pictures from here. (All you need to do is select Halloween, the number of cards you want and select the black and white version so you can colour them in yourselves.)We … [Read more...]
Pocketmoney – How much?
I think this must be the longest I've not blogged for since I started blogging, I just haven't felt like it so much lately so I thought I'd have myself a little blogging break. I've been enjoying time with my children which, ultimately, is what this blog's all about and now, after a week off, I'm back, not exactly refreshed but I'm here anyway ;-) and I need some advice.Our Chore Chart has been up and running for the last week and it's been pretty successful so far. Pocket money day is now fast approaching - In fact, it's been and gone once but we went out for the day at the weekend … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Not Just any Lizard….
When I saw that the theme for this weeks Gallery was RED, I planned to get Miss Frugal all dressed up in the cute red devil outfit that the lovely ladies at Tescos sent her but then today, Master Frugal came home from school with this Lizard. It's not just any lizard, it's a very special lizard. They're only given out to little boys who get all of their spellings right in the weekly spelling test at school! Yeay....Only a couple of weeks ago I was really worried because he just had no interest in learning and seemed a bit behind his friends so I asked all my wonderful Twitter … [Read more...]
Crazy Colours….
It's funny how you forget the things you used to love doing when you were young and then something reminds you of it and you get to have fun all over again with your own children. The other day I read a fab post from Cathy at Nurture Store about wax crayon pictures and remembering how much fun I used to have doing this, I couldn't wait to try it with the kids.All you need for this is a piece of paper, some wax crayons and something to scratch out your picture (we used a wooden skewer).Colour in your whole sheet of paper using different colours, it really doesn't have to be perfect and … [Read more...]
