Little Man has been baking a lot of late, completely of his own accord and without any assistance from me other than the in-and-out of the oven bit.
He decided to make chocolate shortbread biscuits at the weekend.
He looked through all my cookie cutters and chose the mini gingerbread man one.
When they were cool he was very excited about decorating them.
We went to the shops to purchase silver balls and white icing especially for this purpose.
I was expecting that the silver balls would be used to make buttons.
But no.
Not buttons.
The silver balls were used to make ....eh-hem....balls!
Boy baking.
Boy biscuits.
Brilliant.

Being the only female in my house, I can tell you that you are in store for a whole lot more of this type of thing. It is amusing!

If I were a gingerbread man, I suppose I would be wanting some pretty solid balls...

LOL This reminded me of an episode when Alex was in Reception. The teacher had asked them to draw something nice for the cover of their end of year report and Alex drew himself and daddy having a wee. It was a very detailed drawing!

Genius. Now pass the kitchen towel....x

i wish i hadn't taken that huge glug of tea as i was scrolling down, as it has ended up.. over my top, on the tablecloth and up the wall!
heehee boys...eh :oD i think it's really sweet that he incorporates his sense of humour into his baking.
Lucy! i have missed you. i have visited your blog a couple of times in the past months, but was just so exhausted i didn't comment at the time. my health is much improved now, but i still don't have much internet time as i am on grandmother duty, whilst my son and daughter-in-law work a few extra hours in the lead up to christmas. i doubt i will be blogging again for a few more months, but i will be dropping in on my old friends from time to time.
i'm off to read some more of your lovely posts now (once i've made a fresh mug of tea, lol).
lots and lots of love and hugs
thanks for the smile xoxoxoxox
