home & hobbies: Pics from my Week

helloo!

Well, just a pic heavy post with a few photos from the week, starting off with a re-visit back to Cai's 8th Birthday when I did a 'Car' theme for him.? Note 'Car' as opposed to 'Cars', luckily my boys were never too much into franchised stuff... anyway? just a little share

For this Birthday, I did a Car themed Cake (2 actually),

and he had a Car Pinata too which was really the highlight of the party... seriously didn't?realise how much kids love Pinatas!.??? then a Sleepover/DVD Night with his best friends.

I thought I would also share some mid-week meals, especially Tuesday night which is the day before shopping day, but I managed to do this really nice Savoury Rice and also a Slow Cooker Rice Pudding which was delicious!

Just put in rice, milk sugar, cinnamon and marg in the slow cooker on high for approx 3 hours, it is super yumm!!

And here is the lovely walk I get to do when I pick up my kids from school, I really love living where I do:

Next up I thought I would share this 'Half & Half' cake I did for Cai's 9th, by which I mean, it was a half-cheating cake.? I put together 2 lamington cakes, then smothered the top with a tub of Betty Crocker Fudge Chocolate Frosting, then grated chocolate on top - an easy half store-bought, and half effort by me!!

my half and half cake

And here are some Pirate cupcakes I made for the boys using Pirate Cupcake Wrappers-
