Peppermint creams

Sunday at home. Steve and Sam have gone to the Maker Faire to indulge their mutual love of all things sciencey leaving Tom and I free to indulge in the sort of things he likes to do. 

In truth if it were up to Tom we would spend the day on electronic devices playing games and watching endless YouTube videos.  Fortunately it's not up to Tom so he had to come up with other things he likes to do.

So we read. Me to him. Him to me. Each to ourselves.

We drew pictures... of minecraft mobs, but that's okay because the linear nature of minecraft fits in well with my poor artistic ability.  Have ruler, draw minecraft!! (My spider was pretty good I'll have you know).

We made some peppermint creams.  Good lord, the sugar hit in these things! After tea we all had one and within minutes Sam and Tom were both bouncing off the ceiling like they were attached to springs.  I know it's a myth that sugar makes kids hyperactive, but honestly they were buzzing.  So I don't think we will be making those again :)
