Was a bit nervous but people seemed to enjoy this one so here it is for all to read/share/use etc...<br /><br /><br /><b>Who knows of any nursery rhymes?</b><br />Let the children give a few answers<br /><br /><b>There are lots of different nursery rhymes, but I want to talk about one in particular, it's Humpty Dumpty. Can you say it with me?</b><br /><br /><i>Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall<br />Humpty Dumpty had a great fall<br />All the King's horses and all the King's men<br />Couldn't put Humpty together again</i><br /><br /><b>Excellent! I wonder does anyone know what Humpty looks like?</b><br />Let the children answer, they'll hopefully know the answer is...<br /><br /><b>...an egg! Yes he looks like an egg!

But you know sometimes we can be in messy situations that seem hard to get out of, a bit like poor Humpty. Maybe you've fell out with a friend over something and it seems there's just no way to sort it out, or maybe you're having trouble at school and it seems no one can help, or perhaps you've done something wrong and you don't know how to fix it. We can all get into hard and messy situations like Humpty from time to time. <br /><br />But we're not like Humpty are we? We're not eggs! We're people and even better we're God's people! And when we have problems we don't need the King's horses or the King's men, because we have God who is the King on our side!

The girls got into making it while I got o with sorting other lunchy bits out, so they emptied the box and got on with it. Apparently Katie asked me if both the bags of stuff had to go into the mixture and apparently I said "Yes" but I can't recall this conversation. So she chucked it all together, mixed in the butter, water and eggs and poured into the tray then put it all in the oven to bake. While I was clearing up the rubbish I wondered where the icing had gone to and discovered that the icing had been put into the cake mixture and was now in the oven. We worried it all may turn out a little too sweet but left it to bake and we got on with lunch and playing with HSM stickers. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhQJ40zlogIFgXsWInXKTpUJsXHl7YAhln0aEc7KCTP-v2grQishgvQfw8fSlo4XaZ-YXVJiI7gIwjDA-zC7PmylAdZjRX6vzvk6VNMv8ETIMPHS7XQPJ1Nfpfj0yWRGfZsw2R/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhQJ40zlogIFgXsWInXKTpUJsXHl7YAhln0aEc7KCTP-v2grQishgvQfw8fSlo4XaZ-YXVJiI7gIwjDA-zC7PmylAdZjRX6vzvk6VNMv8ETIMPHS7XQPJ1Nfpfj0yWRGfZsw2R/s320/photo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372090749240465938" /></a><br /><br />When it came to eating the cake it looked good, smelled good and had a slight glaze on the top from all the sugar in it! It was real good, even with the icing IN it not ON it. So an experiment gone wrong but that turned out good and we had fun decorating it with the HSM rice paper decorations and sugary stars.Ruth Stronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04689890740685863524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23132373.post-82998837824651888742009-03-19T21:13:00.004+00:002009-03-19T21:41:00.165+00:00my albums<a href=http://www.ignite.cd/blogs/jools/index.cfm?postid=1432>Jools</a> posted this great little "meme" thing-a-mee that I couldn't resist doing - so much so I did it twice!<br /><br />Here's what you do <br />1 - Go to "<a href=http://wikipedia.com>wikipedia</a> ."
