Staying in for the day can be as fun as going out!

Today has been eventful in a non-eventful way,  I havent been out apart from nipping to the shops at 9 this morning. We had to stay in as we were having the windows fixed in the flat, so I decided to make mince pies for the first time! I have to admit I didnt make my own mincemeat but did make my own pastry. Sadly the only problem being on a diet is that its hard to be so strong willed and resist devouring the fruits of my labour.I had 2 pies, well they were falling apart and too crumbly to serve to anyone, so I suppose that doesnt count? I wont tell if you dont!  As well as learning that I am quite a good little pastry chef, I also learnt that Louis can actually go down for a nap without screaming for 20 minutes. Today he simply lay down in his cot, and that was it, out for the count, for a good hour,woooohoooo! I also learnt that Louis can eat a half a rice cracker all on his own, without dropping it, squishing it or throwing it on the floor, a big achievement in mealtime ettiquette! Ah the excitement of being a domesticated mummy.
