Omelettes!!

Papa is our Omelette Maker Extaordinaire. He often makes omelettes for each of us on Saturday mornings, like today. Yum.

Ham, tomatoe, bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, cheese, jalapeno. Mmmmm good.

Dying Easter Eggs

Laurel is concentrating on her eggcellent artwork.

Tessy's proud of her egg! Oh man, how do I ever say No to that cute little face?!

Easter Bunny has 5 busy little helpers. They each got a dozen eggs to dye. They each also got hungry afterward for boiled eggs, so there won't be quite so many for Easter Bunny to hide in the morning. Fine with me....

Brianna's tie-dye Easter egg. Very cool.

April Fool!!

I made these "cupcakes" on April 1st. Yes, we had cupcakes for dinner. Not sweet, but savory. They are actually meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potatoe "frosting." Yum. Brianna hates frosting, so when she first saw them, she said, "Ahhh, so much frosting!" But she liked this frosting.

After the Dentist

Ellie had a cavity filled on Monday. The dentist numbed the right top side of her mouth. She's such a smiley little thing, and when Maho saw her smile he thought it was the funniest thing ever! The more he laughed, the more Ellie laughed, and he manage to snap a photo of her laughing. She looks like Sylvester Stallone's offspring...

Little Daisy Scout

I really need to learn to rotate photos on here. This is Ellie in her Daisy Girl Scout uniform. She and Whitney and Brianna are all girl scouts this year. We decided to try it out. They've had lots of fun. One "fun" thing we just finished up with was Girl Scout cookies. Between the 3 of them they sold about 100 boxes in the neighborhood, and then we took several turns working at cookie booths. That actually was pretty fun. They cookies sell themselves. Everyone loves girl scout cookies!

"I don't want to have babies"

This morning Tessy asked me where Papa was.

"He's helping out at the high school today." I explained.

"Oh, at Lulu's school?" she asked.

"No, at the high school, not the junior high."

"At the ninas' school?"

"No, at the high school, where the really big kids go."

"How big?" She asked.

"Between 15 and 18." I told her.

"Oooh." She smiled. "I want to teach those kids."

"Do you think those kids would like to learn from a 4-year-old?" I asked

"No! When I'm big." she explained.

"I bet you would be a great high school teacher." Then out of the blue she said,

"But I DON'T want to have babies. Then you have to go to the doctor." This was not the first time she's told me that she doesn't want to have babies.

"Oh, but they're so cute and squishy and cuddly!" I told her.

"They're not cuddly," she insisted. "They SLOBBER."

Tuna Ebleskievers

Today Tessy wanted a tuna sandwhich. We were all out of bread, but I have some leftover Ebleskievers in the fridge. So this is Tessy eating her tunafish ebleskiever sandwhiches. Pomegranate Grandma would have told me we are terrible Danes (Ebleskievers are Danish)! Then she'd have laughed and eaten a tuna ebleskiever with us!

(I'm a do-do and couldn't figure out how to rotate the photo!! But hey, at least I posted one!!)
