Dummies Guide to Baking with Toddlers

Haha, I cheated! I bought this instant croissant pastry from the supermarket for about £1.60. Since we're only here for a short while, it doesn't make sense to buy all that flour and butter for 1 batch of croissants. Okay okay, it's also because I'm a lazy bum!

It's really easy. Just peel off the cardboard packaging, untwist the roll and out pops your croissant pastry, all ready for rolling. It's all perforated too. So thoughtful!

DN had a ball rolling the croissants. I demonstrated one for him and he rolled the rest. Never seen a toddler so pleased with rolling before.

DN kept wanting to check on the croissants in the oven. They took about 20 minutes to reach a nice golden brown colour. We each had one for breakfast, with strawberry jam, lemon curd and smudge. :)

DN ate 2/3 of his croissant, with jam and lemon curd. Guess who had 1 and 1/3 croissants? -_-

The reason why I wanted to bake croissants with DN is because we're going to the land of croissants tomorrow. Oui oui! There is a special offer going on now at Paris Disneyland - stay 2 nights and get the 3rd night free. Free? Free? Did someone say free??? *push old people and little children out of the way*

I need to stop doing this. I need to stop buying everything that's on offer. Things are on offer for a reason! It's the dead of winter! Unless you're a penguin or an eskimo, no one goes to Disneyland in winter! You get off any ride looking like a popsicle! If I don't do something about this nasty habit, before long, I'll be carting home things like Betamax players or BROS t-shirts because they were on sale.

Anyway, we paid £358 for 3 nights in a Disneyland hotel, 4 days of park tickets for 2 adults (DN is free), 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches/dinners for the 3 of us. The thing that sealed the deal was the £59 offer from Eurostar. That's £59 per adult to Paris Disneyland (return). Mickey Mouse, here we come (all frozen and cold).
