Greer is settling into family life and proving to be a very laid back kind of child – very like her oldest brother Findlay, and nothing like Nairn and Erica were as teeny tinies. So much so that I’ve actually been granted time to bake a little this week. I’ve thrown together one of my Cherry Bakewell cakes using raspberry jam instead of cherry, a batch of smarties cookies and the most gorgeous cinnamon apple upside down cake using Apryl’s recipe. I’ll blog the smarties cookies recipe tomorrow when I find the scrap of paper I wrote measurements down on 
I had a bit of a freak out a few weeks ago over the state of the boys’ bedroom with the result that we dismantled their bunk beds this week and installed brand spanking new cabin beds complete with storage space *swoons*. This of course meant there’s been spare bits of bed lying around the house whilst Bob got the grunt work done.
This is what happens when you leave a mattress on its side on the stairs. The toddlers get it, pull it over and spend the day doing this:
I promise I do dress them occasionally

That cake was amazing. I fancy the recipe when Robert has finished munching his honey cake.
I love this post. Your tinies are having just the best time!!!
Made me smile so much! Thanks for sharing!
Such fun! Can I join in? Cabin beds are ace. My 8-yr-old has one -never puts anything away in it – but has one, nonetheless.
Why do we bother buying toys!! Isn’t it great when they use their imaginations to create things to do. I am full of admiration that you have time to bake – I seem to recall that all I did with my son was feed him – he was very slow – change him, and collapse in an exhausted heap – I don’t know how you manage with a houseful!!
I love Nairn, I really do.
Oh, I remember fondly sliding down the stairs on a mattress… hours of entertainment!
And, who needs clothes when we are blessed with wipe-clean skin?

Heh, we used to sandwich each other in between two foam mattresses that lived in our corridor for a while as children. Bit dangerous really!
The apple cinnamon cake looks YUMMY. I bought some pink lady apples today so I might make it tonight
I can’t believe you’re baking already! Superwoman indeed.
Nairn has totally got your smile … I love it!
