Today Animal had more exams so we went shopping!! I got a t-shirt with flowers and a vest top with boats on it. Sol got a bouncy ball and Seb got jeans and a UFO disc flinging toy. I went into two shops, one where I got the clothes and the toys and the other where we got some juices and sweets. When I got home Olivia was hyper and chewed every thing and anything she could fit in her mouth.Daddy was at work so we baked cupcakes before Mummy went to work for our neighbour who’s birthday is tomorrow. I also made a card which had cupcakes on.
We made twenty four cupcakes from this recipe.
