Thursday Staff Room

[WhileShosheWatchedHerFlocks]

I've sent DH off to bed early tis morning, so actually have some peace for my brekkie

Tea and toast on the go if anyone wants some. (It does have marmite on it tho )

Morning!

What shall I make the little ones for lunch today?

Toast is lovely, thanks! My kettle blew up last night so my coffee is being made in the microwave. Yick

Mine have braised steak, we had it last night

We had chilli and veg with leftover roast lamb from a few weeks ago (frozen!!) so I could not give them that!

Pasta yesterday. Beans on Toast? French toast?

My mum used to make lovely braised steak and when she was feeling posh, she would add mushrooms.

at your posh mum.

What about cheese omelet, I make it and cut it into squares for the little ones to eat with their fingers (actually doing a lot of finger foods as have a 12 month with out much finer motor skills, who loves food.)

Bril idea! Thanks! DS always moans that he does not like it and then laps it up.

Yes, I do lots of finger food too for 19 month and 13 month old. Until 2 months ago 13 month old was still on puree . Much better now!

Morning all

H/M chicken nuggets for lunch today & cowboy casserole for tea (yum)

Busy day (for a change)

Reflexology - then lots of tidying & sorting

Hi everyone the weather is horrid here, dark and icy and raining sleet.

We are having vegetable soup for lunch.

Can I just ask - one of my 22m old mindees stuck on the word car. He is saying it every few minutes. He is car mad. At first I thought great,we count the cars, ehat colour is the car, is it big or small, lets make it fast and so on, but still stuck on the word car! It's literally been months now. Help.

OK Katy, have to ask, what is Cowboy Casarole

Sausages, fried onion, pineapple & baked beans

We do something very similar to that KM, our american friend gaves us the recipe, he makes it for our camp outs that we go to. Ours has fried onions (throw sugar in the frying pan to caramelise them), beans, pineapple, chopped bacon, bbq sauce and bourbon. Yummy.

Afternoon everyone. I am finished for the day.

I love the new smileys

Hi all

Music group this morning

Can I have a little boast ?

Have had my results for units 2 and 3 of CACHE Diploma in Home based child care...Got an A in Unit 2 and a B in Unit 3

Am working on Unit 4 currently

Ooooh and I forgot to say - I had a lovely email from someone today, can't work out who though

not read messages, just whizzing through before clearing away kitchen stuff.......can't believe i've actually got all 4 napping at once!!! off to clean kitchen then be back (hopefully)

Back again.

I love sausage casserole, I just do ours in slow cooker with tomatoes, baked beans, peppers, onions, mushrooms and mixed herbs - may try these new ideas as would NEVER have thought of putting pineapple in!

coolj - enjoy your afternoon off

Toys - well done, that's fab news

Must go as 2 mindees have woken up and are giggling!! My own baby has been asleep for 3 and half hours!!!! so I really need to get him up for the school run. He only usually sleeps for 45 mins-1 hour but he's been so unwell and hardly sleeping at night, don't blame him for catching up with sleep (wish I could!)

Catch up later

Kay comes in the staff room, slowly counts to ten, breathes, then goes back to children . . .

you okay, SammyK? did the counting help???

no not really

I will have to come back later (will be later too as mum coming for tea - marvellous)

TFIF tomorrow
11 more days of working. I love love love my kids but would love love love it if for ONE day they all did as I asked, when I asked.

Sometimes I finish the day with a sore throat..... or should I not say that???

I have 4 new children

I am astounded

What has changed?

Katy - well done you

Sammy - wassup love?
