okay for the past couple of days oldest large child has been asking for a “red sauce sandwich” (red sauce being ketchup) as we have run out of peanut butter.  so today I relent and make her a red sauce sandwich.  just before bed after she has eaten the sandwich some time earlier I ask her if she enjoyed her sandwich, to which she replied…

“Oh yes Mummy, it was real delicious.  Can I have a red sauce sandwich for my lunch at school tomorrow?”

don’t worry there are posts waiting I just couldn’t wait any longer to share this picture taken by “uncle” Jason on his whirlwind adventure from Canada.
