Monkey boy's car

Last week Monkey Boy made this car out of scrap material for his Art & Craft project. He used the extra tyres from his toy car, tissue box and other scraps which we had lying around to make this car.  It was to be a Volkswagon Scirocco as he loves sports car. I’m not a really crafty person and was impressed with the details he had on his car. He was beaming when his teacher gave him an A+ for his effort making the car.

Did you kids do any crafts last week?

Today I’m sharing with you the music by a talented Taiwanese Singer- Vanness Wu. I’ve watched this drama which he starred in and it was a really nice love story.

I’m happy that Java’s back and this Meme is running again.
Here are are the questions that she asked this week

 

Questions:

1. Right now I could really eat _________?
Garlic Ciabatta. Am really loving the ciabatta  I made at baking class over the weekend.

2. Full length pants or capri’s?

I’m fine with both but am more in to capri’s these days especially since it has been raining a lot lately.

3. The best smelling men’s cologne (women’s perfume for the guys playing) is ________?
Not really sure about this one as R doesn’t use any men’s cologne. I like the one by Hugo Boss.

4. What is your favorite kind of Cheesecake?
Hazlenut Chocolate cheesecake is tops for me.

5. What TV Show do you currently never miss?
It would be Vampire Diaries Season 3. I’m fine the series really captivating and can’t wait for each new episode to be released. I don’ watch it on TV but via the net instead.

SOC: Implementing Changes

Bread

April has been a month of changes for us. For once I am having time to learn something which I have been thinking about for a while- Bread. I just attended my 2nd lesson yesterday and we were on to making Ciabatta bread and another soft bread which tasted absolutely divine dipped with olive oil and vinegar. I’ll be posting pictures of my bakes later on in the week as I have yet to download them from my phone.

Next week we will be moving onto sourdough and I’m to cultivate my own sourdough at home to be use at the class. It will be the first time that I am growing bacteria at home and I’m looking forward to seeing how it will turn out.  The kids will be able to eat more healthy now that I’m onto baking breads besides cakes and other dishes. ( We can cut down eating out and cut down the  amount of money spent on buying bread)

Tomorrow starts the 1st day of the school run. I’ve decided to stop Doggie boy’s school bus and send him to school directly  instead. No doubt it will take about an hour or more doing the morning car run but it certainly beats having to fork out a hefty $180/mth(an increase again of $20)  just for him to take the bus to school. The bus doesn’t come at a regular time even though there is  given time and sometimes we end up wasting an hour just waiting for the bus to arrive. It really spoils my normal routine and precious time that I have to get everything done in the morning before fixing lunch. Now that he is no longer taking the bus I will have better control of the time and can use it more efficiently.

What changes are you making this month?
