Happy 7th Birthday, Rhys!

Our baby...

...turned 7 today!

We had a Lego birthday party yesterday,

complete with Lego brownies...

...and mini-figure head jars for party favors (my favorite).

Happy, happy birthday!

Starting the summer harvest!

We got home from a week in Colorado yesterday afternoon, but I didn't want to go to the store to get food for dinner. I went to the garden instead (that's what it's there for after all!). We had beets, onions, baby carrots, lettuce, spinach, dandelion greens, purslane and peas. For dessert (and breakfast this morning) we had rhubarb apple crisp. Delicious!

Okee Dokee Brothers Rock!!!

I've decided that I am a bigger Okee Dokee fan than my kids are, but what the heck, I have to bring them along to get into a kids' concert so I don't look like a weirdo. I clapped and danced and sang all the lyrics (yes, I knew them all) because dang it, I'm a FAN. Hi-ho! Haul away Joe! The boatman rows up on to the dancing floor!
