Princess Alisa: Raider of the Breakfast Pancakes

Breakfast Win!

Princess Mia: Milk carton house

This just looks like a milk carton doesn't it?

I bet you didn't think it was this did you!

One day mummy showed me this craft on another blog and I thought it would be nice to make it sometime. Today we were all home cos we have colds and I thought "Mummy is so busy, so I'll just make it with the girls" and I did.

See how the girl and the food stands up? Do you want to know how I did it?

Look, you just bend a paper clip like this!

I taught Chia how to do it too and now us 3 sisters, Amelie, Chia and I, have our own houses and the girls made their own dolls too. We didn't have cereal boxes so I used milk cartons 'cos we have lots of those.

Chia found these paper scraps when she was sweeping the floor. Do you see what it says?

It's "U"! She found it all by herself!


Tomorrow we're going to play with our houses, and maybe you can make your own too, it's so easy and fun. I used tape 'cos I didn't want to use glue, but you can if you want.
My nose is running so I have to go to sleep now. Bye bye!

Princess Amelie: Land flowers

People pick land flowers.

We made this now and the neighbor lady gave them to us this morning.




Bye bye!

Mum's post: Baking with Amelie

Goes a little something like this:

So I'm making dinner late and I have a girl who really wants to help out, but nothing for her to do, so she offers to bake a cake.
Ok.
Get out the recipe, bowls, and basic ingredients.
She mashes bananas, pours, mixes, tastes and mixes more.
She is fabulous.


While the food is burning on the stove I want to record this fabulous moment.
"Smile Amelie!"
And here's what I get:

Yup, that's her. Fantastic Amelie, super girl wonder and super hero helper.

P.S. The cake was great.

Recipe here:

Kari’s Fab Breakfast & Snack Banana Cake

1 cup mashed ripe banana (2-3 bananas)

¾ cups sugar

1 ¾ cups flour

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

Pinch of ground nutmeg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

½ cup milk

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup chopped walnuts

In a small bowl mix bananas & sugar, let stand for 10 mins. While you’re waiting, Pre-heat oven, grease & flour baking tin.

In a large bowl mix oil, milk, eggs, & vanilla. Add banana mix.

Sift dry ingredients together into wet stuff. Mix until just combined.

Quickly stir in nuts.

Spread batter into pan and bake 40-60 mins at 180 C.

I double this recipe and bake in a bunt tin for 60 mins. Good luck.

The Princesses: Snnnnow!

It snowed yesterday! We woke up and everything was white!



After breakfast we put on our snow gear and made a snowman in the yard.






After a little bit he melted into a mud man.



We called him Mr. Mudd. :D

Princess Alisa: Merry Christmas!

I ate, and I ate, and I ate! It is my firm belief, after many years of Christmas dinners, that Christmas is all about eating and drinking, and eating again.

It was a great day. There was turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, taco wraps, salad, trifle, brownies, icecream, and more.
Sadly we could not eat it all, but tomorrow we'll start on the cheesecake, sweetpotato casserole, and leftover trifle, turkey, gravy, taco wraps and anything else I can get my hands in!

I crashed out while mummy wrapped gifts tonight. True story.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Princess Mia: Taiko

Here we are at practice. Alisa loves to drum: that's her front and center.



This was at the show we did at our local nursing home.

See ya!

Princess Chia: The House of Pox

We were all sick
And very sad because we all had chicken pox and mummy said we can visit daddy who was in hospital when we're all better.






Then Amelie drew this picture of us girls with chicken pox!


See you later!

Princess Chia: I love to sing

Did you know I like to sing? I sing so much and all the time!

Here's a song I sing all the time now, after lunch, doing my teeth, colouring, or you know, lots of things:

I don't even know what we're fighting from
Better go getcha armour
Getcha armour
Getcha armour

I don't wanna get out with that
I never meant to startle you

Why is love always like a BOUNCY ELEPHANT
BOUNCY ELEPHANT
BOUNCY ELEPHANT
BOUNCY EL-E-PH-AN-T

Better go getchya AR-MOUR
GE-TCHYA AR-MOUR
GE-TCHYA AR-MOUR

I never meant to startle you
Don't even know what we're studying for....

Why is love always like a BOUNCY ELEPHANT
BOUNCY ELEPHANT
BOUNCY ELEPHANT
BOUNCY EL-E-PH-AN-T

(Repeat randomly)

Here's Amelie with her version:



And here's the song they wanted to share with you :)

Mum's post: Dinner snapshot.

Princess Amelie at dinner...
Sound sleep, didn't even finish her firsts. Carried straight to bed by daddy.

The Princesses: Music Videos

Chia: I like this song! Because "Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way..."

Mia: I like this song because you can, you know, dance to it:

Princess Chia: Letters from Chia

Princess Amelie: Distressed Jeans

We have some jeans that have rips and don't look so good so mummy said to make them into dressed jeans by scrubbing them on salt... Ummm rocks! We put a big rock in the jeans and a not so big rock to SCRUB-A-DUB them and make more holes! Ha ha ha. It's so funny!
I want to do it with my pajamas too!

I quickly went and said "I want to make jeans out of my bamajas" and then mummy said "Oh dear, we can't do it but we can do the jeans", so we got it and it happened like this. I did like this and like that on this video

Mum's post: Happy 1st Birthday Miss Pizza

Happy Birthday Little cutie! Can't believe it's already been a year since you were born. What wonderful day that was.
You're so cute and we're very happy you've turned ONE!

Mum's post: Flashcards

After searching high and low for my phonetic ABC flashcards I decided to create my own. Thanks to Google for their invaluable help. If anyone is interested I can send you the jpeg files.

Mum's post: Printable positive behavour charts

If you're as tired of hearing the sound of your voice reminding (ok, nagging) your kids to do everyday things (like wipe & wash hands after going toilet?) then this site might be what you need.I think its a great idea. There are charts-a-plenty out there, but pictures are great for those who don't read yet, and more fun to look at than just words for those who can read.

Check out Go Mummy Go for customizable & ready made charts
