Huffle slept well on his new Bamboo Memory Foam pillow (thank you Grandma and Grandad). I tried to have a lie-in but the boys (big and small) decided to watch the football and as Huffle can't watch a sport without talking as loud as possible, they kept me awake and I had to get up. BOOOOOOO
Moo and I tried to counter the football and watch Call The Midwife Christmas special but they were too loud for that too so we abondoned it for breakfast. We finished off the few pancakes from Christmas Eve and the last couple of Pain au Chocolat from Christmas Day. The boys all played on the Wii while Moo and I watched half of the Downton Abbey Christmas Special while washing the boys bedding so they could have their new Duvet covers on. Huffle came up and did a bit of hoovering until the wheel broke off.
A spot of lunch and then we all played Go Fish with Small's 3D Star Wars cards, his Q-Bitz game (a visual dexterity game) and then his Simon Swipe game (a pattern card game). All very good and very different. The boys went back down to play on the Wii and the adults started the Family Jigsaw (well Huffle sat with us but was really trying to buy a new Hoover and check our Sears Points by going through a multitude of receipts).
We made dinner while the boys played football and nerf wars and then we ate.
We had a visit from ClownRose and BabyMo who delivered a lovely drawing to Smallest plus some homemade chocolate and a candy cane. I got some chocolate too and some Christmas hugs despite the fact they got in the middle of the boys nerf war!
Yesterday Huffle prepared us a treacle sponge but didn't mix it. Today we decided to have it. The butter was very cold as we kept it covered in the Sun Room which is very cold at the moment. We whisked it in a warm bath (well the sink) and he then cooked it. Then I wondered if he had put baking powder in it. Most of our recipe books are British and because we don't have Self Raising flour, we add baking powder. The pudding didn't really rise and because we were using the microwave for his Christmas Pud too, I decided to make custard on the stove. This didn't go well as it stuck to the bottom and didn't get thick. We kept adding more powder and ended up putting it in another bowl in the microwave. It was okay but we have had much better. Apparently as the maids were clearing up later (Moo and Huffle) they noticed the custard had got much thicker!!
The boys continued a Pokemon Battle from earlier before going to bed on their new bedding.
