Pinterest board #3 is ready to share. I find when I pin I do just that. I do not check where the pin has come from. I am therefore doing two things at once, checking all the pins are worthwhile and sharing my boards with you – the lovely Mum on the Run family. This board is one called Fabulous Family Fun. On this board I pin ideas to do as a family. Pop along and have a browse. You will need a Pinterest account which is free and easy. Click on the picture below. Enjoy!!!

Next Thursday 25th April we celebrate ANZAC day.
According to the Australian War Memorial, “ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia’s most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.”
If you would like to read more information about this special day head to http://www.awm.gov.au/commemoration/anzac/anzac_tradition.asp
The kidlets always do activities at school (past teacher experience) to learn about this and we have a national holiday on that day. A tradition we started in our family is to make ANZAC biscuits on ANZAC day. I am going to make it as a slice this year.
I have also been looking for some other resources online to have some fun with the kidlets. Check out my pinterest board for some ideas I have found so far. Click on the picture below to take you there.
Gabbylocks has said that she wants to march this year so I will be taking her to the March on Thursday morning.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those who grieve and remember lost ones on this remembrance day.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
My kids love cooking but not in the normal way you would expect.
Gabbylocks likes to make her own recipes up and of course Rogey Bear likes to copy. This morning I made mini cupcakes while they made up their own cakes and desserts. Daddy is usually the taste tester so he is in for a treat tonight. I am watching my weight. Pity about that.
I guide them with the need for dry or wet ingredients but they choose them. Gabbylocks is getting quite good at deciding when the mixture is just right. Just use whatever you have in the cupboard. Today we used some self – raising flour, raw sugar, a little melted butter, 1 egg, choc chips, cocoa, sprinkles and other bits and bops I can’t remember. We then bake it in the oven until they seem cooked.
They still want to ice them but this is the result so far.

We are on school holidays and are spending our first day at home – well Gabbylocks and I are. Rogey Bear is at day care and will be home with us tomorrow and Friday. He is still quite young for 3 1/2 and can be a little demanding when I am trying to do something with Gabbylocks. So we try to squeeze in as much as we can on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then Rogey Bear can have all the attention he needs.
Today Miss G (who is 6) came up with an idea. She began it on the computer all by herself. When the idea was finished I helped her edit it and set it out properly. I also helped her find copies of the activities she wanted. The concept was all her own. Apparently she wants to print out a few copies and give them to kids when she sees them in town. I have her permission to share a copy for you to download. Just click on the link under the picture (Fun Activities) and download the PDF for FREE.
