Day 132
2nd June 2022
Bombe Alaska!
It was 6.30am and Lincoln & Mila were making Bombe Alaska. 😬
All that was left to make from yesterday, was the meringue.
There was mess everywhere. 🙄
“Where’s the cream of tartar?” Lincoln asked, moving things left & right, inside the cupboard.
“We’re out. I used the last of it in my bath bombs.” Mila answered.
“Why is it yellow?” Linc asked, now back on the beaters.
“You got some egg yolk in it.” She answered.
It was at this point I knew the meringue was doomed.
I’ve baked enough to know, that even the tiniest bit of egg yolk will destroy a meringue.
I was not about to break their spirit & so I turned on the oven.
They put it in and ran outside to play on the trampoline.
At 7am.
Gymnastics
I left for my first day of work (which went great!) and Liam took the kids to gym.
Linc took Pepe for a walk and Mila worked on becoming Nadia. 🤩🤩🤩
Afterwards, they went to the park with some friends, followed by hot chips for lunch. 😋
Maths
After lunch they came home and worked on math’s. (Go Dad! I never attempt academic stuff after lunch)
Linc was learning about the mean, the mode, the median and the range.
And in case you forgot all of that existed, here it is.
After math’s Mila baked a cake and Lincoln started work on his steel katana.
I got home shortly after this and sat on the back step in the sun with a hot cup of tea.
Sometimes we all sit crammed together on the back step with our snacks. Pepe too.
We must look hilarious!
We have a perfectly good outdoor table with a huge umbrella, but for some reason, the backstep is our favourite place to perch.
A comforting throw back from the 80’s?
