Worms, eggs and scones

Today we downloaded another level of the biff chip kipper books on the iPad and big bee spent quite a bit of time on them with me. Then after that she continued looking at them on her own for ages. Was lovely to watch her teaching herself to read. (Unknowingly)

We spent ages outside observing the chickens, the bees found a worm which they gave to the chickens. They went absolutely mad for it, fighting over it so we then had a mission to find more! It didn't take long in the poly tunnel!

We discussed making an egg chart to see how many eggs we're getting. We had 3 today! We both made one. Big bee wasn't overly happy with either chart so not quite sure what her vision was. We'll get there I'm sure. :-)

We decided to do some baking next. Found a nice and very easy scone recipe. It was already a gluten free recipe so we converted it to dairy free too and we were away.

Cheeky bees!

Brushing the milk on..

All ready for the oven

Done! They didn't rise at all but I suspect that is due to our 'tweaks'. No matter!

They actually tasted fairly 'scone-ish' and the bees were happy so that's the main thing. We all enjoyed them for dessert tonight. :-)

After a slight miscommunication of me saying to big bee to mop up a spill of drink, it soon turned into them wanting to mop the floor! i didn't actually mean 'mop' just wipe with a tissue but it was no use.. The idea was planted! I went to the loo and returned to find them filling the bucket up!! Lol!

I found it all very amusing and was blissfully watching them cleaning the floor until the whole bucket got tipped over! Hmmm! Not *quite* as funny! Lol! Anyway, I now have a lovely clean floor so can't complain! :-)

Cheeky daisy pup after the leftovers tonight. Thought she looked so cute she deserved to make the blog! :-)
