I’m a bit late. I usually like to get my post ready on Sunday and then I publish on Monday, but I decided to go on break. As you know, Sunday was Easter and we had family for the whole weekend and the weekend before we had friends. So we’ve been busy and I’m tired. I thought I deserved a day off.

Here’s what we’ve been up to . . .

A new puzzle . . . this time we are into dinosaurs.

Trying to get Silas to smile on cue.

Chopping crystallized ginger for . . .

a carrot cake.

I had an observer. He asked, “What’s that for Mama?” I told him, “This cake is for my friends.” He then said, “But I like Carrot Cake Mama.” 

A new look for my culinary library. I now have more space in my kitchen.

Parking lot for his tractors.

Waiting for doughnuts.

He helped me ice them.

Sugar and cinnamon.

A new toy.

First time for ice cream – he loved it.

Grammy shared.

Easter. It was more of a gather situation than a hunt.

Lala was really good at putting eggs in her basket.

Silas had a great time. Unfortunately, later that night we were cleaning up the contents of his stomach, so we didn’t make it to an Easter service the next morning.

He got a toy bug in one of his eggs. He told me it was his first bug ever.

Looking at the goods.

Cousins.

Easter meal on Saturday – we had fish instead of ham. It was pretty good.

A new lunch favorite – bread + grapefruit + oranges + avocado + olive oil + salt & pepper. Just try it.

We had this situation going on in our house tonight.

There were two plates being waved around which means, “MORE, MORE.”

We had BBQ chicken pizza with spinach and chard pesto. Wow! 

It ended this one’s hunger strike.And it resulted in one happy and super silly boy.

Hope you had a wonderful holiday. See you next week!
