Happenings

We love Starbucks! And we love hanging with friends at Starbucks even more!!

Max and his friend Jackson. Jackson weighs 10+kg's That is 20 some odd pounds. What does Max weigh, well not sure how much he weighs but not even close to 10kg's :)

Hanging with Daddy getting ready to chase birds

He's just too cute for words!

In other funny news: I discovered rhubarb this week. How you ask? Sam's mom has a sweet friend that brought us a box full of garden goods. Everything from fresh farm eggs to kiwi fruit. And a bunch of some pink celery.

HMMM. I just bought a whole stalk of celery for some soup, which I only needed one or two pieces of celery. BUMMER. Later that night while I watched Britain's Best Baker (yep I live in a country that gets boring UK TV, no drama, no fights, no yelling, but what can you do it's still kind of like a food network show?) One of their challenges included that pink celery. OH, it's not celery it's rhubarb! DUMB!! But at least I figure it out before I made something with it. One of the best pies I ever had was a rhubarb strawberry from Costco that Danielle and Derrick and I used to get. YUM. I went straight to google to figure out what to make with all this rhubarb. I found a cake recipe for which I had all the ingredients. It was a rainy blustery day so I baked up some rhubarb cupcakes with sugar and cinnamon on top. YUMMM! Sam didn't like them but I did. While sugar is still pretty much a no no for my body I do admit I sampled quite a bit today. Max even had some. Play group and my in laws will enjoy the bountiful pink celery cupcakes come tomorrow!
