Jack and the Beanstalk - 365 - 088

Yesterday was Big Monkey's performance of Jack and the Beanstalk at school.


Big Monkey played the role of Daisy, the cow. She was very, very excited as she got to wear a brand new proper cow costume.



She did a song with her friend, He's got the Blues.


I think the kids had a great time, occasionally they forgot their lines but they improvised like the pros.

While the big monkey was away


Little monkey raided her dress up rail... He mainly tried out all the necklaces and bracelets she owns but he also had found those Halloween bats on a hairband. He was most taken by it and posed happily for me. He also found the big suitcase with all the dress up clothes but he only liked the glamorous evening gloves the rest he preferred on the floor.
He and the cat are thick as thieves, when those two are together you can be sure something is about to happen. Of course he had to show her and they started running up and down the hallway. She did like those wobbling bats too. Luckily nobody got hurt but I heard worrying noises. Sometimes I just don't want to know. I think the cat saw sense and hid in the end. I get the feeling she doesn't like it when little monkey tries to ride on her.
On the vegetable cake front I can report that I'm now the proud owner of the vegetable cake book. It's called "Red Velvet & chocolate heartache" by Harry Eastwood. The next project will be involving those courgettes that came yesterday morning in the organic veggie box. With vanilla or chamomile that's the question right now. I'm tempted by the chamomile cupcakes, they sound rather exotic... I'll keep you posted.
