Bread Rolls... Yumm

Tonight I experimented on yet another 'no knead' bread recipe (Thanks Cristina).
If I must say so myself, I was quite proud of them... and for my little Luca and Leah to tell me they were 'delizioso', I was quite impressed!!
Here are a few pics of the process and the end result for dinner!

"Luca - I need another blanket"

The story behind this photo:
Leah has become very motherly lately and she took this little frog under her wings this particular night.
After we took her to bed, we heard her calling out to Luca to bring her another blanket - we knew she had plenty tho!
Anyway, she evenutally settled and we thought we'd go check on her... this is what we found....(see photo).
Leah had carefully put the frog to sleep under the blankets and she didn't have any... that's why she was calling out to Luca...LOL

Leah and the love for her Doll

Leah decided to take her doll on the trampoline and show her how to Jump and then gave her some TLC!
Aww it's soo cute to watch... she's such a little Mummy sometimes :) soo gorgeous!

A trip to a Farm

Here are a bunch of photos of a friend's hobby farm... those who know him - Tony (Dad's best buddy)!

There are some pics of the lovely fat pig/s that are going to become Dad's delicious sausages soon
(sorry to all the animal lovers out there... but this is the reality of the situation)!

We picked lots of veggies to take home and the kids enjoyed the fresh air...

Luca didn't enjoy seeing the pigs tho - unlike Leah who was most intrigued :)

Enjoy the photos..there are plenty here.......

"Yes, I'll be your slave"

This is a classic....
Luca has been enjoying Leah slaving around for him.. WAIT till she realises what he's upto!! LOL

Luca my word of advice - ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS

In the first set of photos he asked her to take his shoes off
Then she willingly decides to put them away for him!! 

Yesterday... she was helping him lift his 'sagging' trackpants!!

Luca:  "Just a bit higher Leah".. and she willingly obliges!

OMGosh.. what a laugh!!
