Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Today, we baked. Big surprise, eh? I like to bake with the girls each Monday … so today …

We creamed. We mixed. We stirred.

We made “pumpkie muffins” … as Lyla calls them.

And  … um … wow …… can I just say you HAVE to try out this recipe! To quote my husband:

“Best muffins IN. THE. WORLD.”

 

Recipe, please, you say? You can find it here at the Groceries to Go blog.

And I’m not just sayin’ they’re good … because as many of my friends would agree I STINK at making muffins. Half of the time, I bake them and turn around and toss them all in the same day. I don’t know what worked so well in this recipe, but seriously …. DELISH.

Yes …. fresh coffee… fresh week … fresh muffin …

Life is good.

We also did a few Easter crafts …

An Easter egg tree.

… and then Wonder Great-Grandma showed up with seeds and potting soil! Yeah!

It was messy but it was awesome … we planted zinnias, sunflowers, cucumbers & radishes … now, I know they may not all make it to the “REAL” spring, but it’s a learning activity for the girls.

Lucia made a huge mess and never actually planted anything. That’s okay. She’s two. I’ll forgive her.

Laurie Clouthier – We baked these Thursday night(after not eating for 3 days with a very sick stomach). The smell was amazing but I still couldn’t indulge. My husband said they are the best muffins he’s every tasted. Of course I will have to validate that myself once I’m feeling better. :0) Can’t wait.

Sherri Smith – The girls look like they really enjoyed the day. Lacey obviously loves to cook, and Lyla’s concentration on watering the plants is priceless. It doesn’t look like Lucia understood what was happening with the dirt, but I loved the pic of her putting the first egg ornament on the pussywillows. It’s all so very homey and obviously full of love. What emotions and stories your pictures tell.
