Just some snippets
of what the kids are up to.
Both of them wrote letters to Father Christmas and stuck it under their pillows for the Christmas fairy to collect.
We normally write letters and then mail it- but this year the kids decided the fairy must come collect it. Problem. Andrew sleeps very lightly and wakes up when you look into his direction. So how to get to these letters? I convinced them to leave it on the dinning room table so the fairy could get it.
Here’s Andrews instructions on the whole affair:
Mom- you and Daddie must go sleep early so the fairy can come fetch the letters. She’s very shy and wont come if you are awake.
Me: Ok
A: (after I’ve settled him into bed. Mom when is the CF coming?
Me: The minute you fall asleep
A little while later: Mom my eyes are burning – when is she coming?
Me: When you are asleep.
Eventually he fell asleep. This is what I got in the morning
Mom, she came!! Yes
Mommy, daddy whent to sleep very late- I heard him- LOL I know I went into their room about 8 ish and he was fast asleep.
Poor poppet was so excited about his letter. LOL
Carmen’s letter to the Cf was very special. It went like this
Barbie
Princess
Barbie
Princess
Carmen- you have 3 princesses on your list – what else do you want?
Carmen,giving it some thought- A princess!!
LOL Christmas fever is running high in the house

Something I’ve been thinking about lately: “What words/phrases in a blurb make a book irresistible? What words/phrases will make you put the book back down immediately?”
Mmm
I like books with:
Adventure,fast-paced,fast-moving,mystery,trail of deception,journey of self-discovery (I’m a sucker for self-help books),dramatic.
I dont like:
Fantasy,other-worldly, a new realm.
I dont like fantasy books and it is only the movie that got me so far to read Lord of the rings- lol
Bistro-style Menu
For some reason this week I feel like bistro type food. Except I’m not sure it’s really bistro food that I want .The defintion of Bistro as per Wikipedia:
A bistro, sometimes spelled bistrot, is, in its original Parisian incarnation, a small restaurant serving moderately priced simple meals in a modest setting. Bistros are defined mostly by the foods they serve. Slow-cooked foods like braised meats are typical. Bistro patrons do not necessarily expect professional service or printed menus
What I feel like is wraps and pita’s and mariinated chicken. I wonder if that is more cafe food? Any way lets not indulge in my food definition anxieties. LOL
Here’s our menu for the week- and I’ll come back and tell you how the rest of the household likes it.
Monday- Tortilla wraps with venison mince (Kids really liked this- ate their plates clean)
Tuesday – Lemon and herb roasted chicken with butternut and feta salad
Wednesday- Fishcakes with garden salad and fried sweetpotatoe
Thursday – Roast chicken with greek salad and mash potatoe
Friday’s is cooks night off. LOL
