A Pet and Some Baking.

Attending morning mass after drop off was a great way to re-centre and nourish my soul. In spite of the active littlies whose chatter would ring out in the quiet at the most inopportune of moments, it was worth it.

It was a rest day at home today and we... 

... adopted a snail. It's in a box now with some food and hopefully it survives the night. We found it curled inside its shell on our living room ceiling, of all places. Our little man cried when he thought it was dead. "I am sad because I really like snails," he said.

I pulled out a batch of cookie dough from the freezer and that made for a handy afternoon activity and snack:

We plonked these in rainbow rice, edible confetti or chocolate rice before baking and they turned out quite pretty, and were all gone by dinner time.
