Monkey Prince!

Babies are undoubtfully very monkey-like, with their reflexes like the arms that shoot up in the air with a loud noise, and the ability to make steps from early on and the sucking on the big toe... but some just hold on to their monkey-ness forever.
Calvin is definitely a monkey!
Here is the snack of today.

Its simply a little monkey prince made from ricecakes and garlic baguettinis, somecheese and some berries. pretty basic and very pleasing to little monkeys!

The reason for him getting a monkey today?

He has a little girlfriend next door and the other day, he actually jumped a 2,10metre high fence to get to hang out with her! He landed on his feet and was completely fine! *shivers* how scary is that? (He doesn't turn 3 till november!)
They have been talking through the fence for a really long time, but I never thought he would actually jump over.
Now he cant be out on the deck by himself anymore.

He amazes me!
Does all 2 year olds do these things? These incredibly bold acrobatics?
Im turning into a nervous wreck!!
(Not really, but I totally could!)

Bunny bunbun fail!

Did you see the picture of bunnies on facebook? It was bun-bunnies and they looked fab. Simple enough for me, I reckoned!
So, I put my baking gloves on (no, not really) and decided to try, but I was not impressed with my buns or my bunnies, so I won't post a recipe.
I need to try to make these again, preferably successfully and better looking.
However; i made them look cute on the plate and they are most definitely edible, so nothing goes to waste!
I bet'cha the next batch will be amazing, as I think I figured these bunnies out! Hang on for my amazing result later this week (so hopeful!)

And we all learn best through trial and error!
(Yes. Even grown ups)

What was your biggest baking blooper?
I have done quite a few as Im brave and bold in the kitchen: but terrible with recipes!!
Once I was going to make wonderful looking cupcakes with super amazing frosting: made the cupcakes, all good. Then i made the frosting.
With the same recipe I used for the muffins! Ha! Terrible!!

Have a lovely day.

The three little piggies

Built a house of sultanas, with kiwigrassroof and kiwigrass.
A banana sun with nectarine rays, and 3 hand cut pigs.
Very easily cut a deep chunk shaped like the head, and cut it in 3 pieces so it was 3 quite identical heads. Oval body shapes and grapepeel tails and snout holes. Eyes of sultana.

Im sure they were safe from the wolf, but not from Calvin who ate them up one after another ;)

I read on the picture my husband posted on reddit (the cute puppydog sandwich) that my son would become roothless since he could eat cute little puppies... Im pretty sure my son is bright enough to know the difference in cheese and real dogs... Don't ever underestimate 2,5 year olds! ;)

Peace.
