Week before Pre-School Fun

Rob was gone last week for work, so very little "project" work was done, however we did enjoy lots of playdates with friends, Taliah and Uriah...

...and since as we ate all of our own raspberries, we picked more at our neighbor Jim's in our new Elsa dress that we wore for 3 days straight...

...did tree faces outside that resembled an Andy Warhol or a totem pole, not sure which ...

...and had our first real "babysitting" with our friend Kayla's grandmother.   Kayla, whom we met in dance class, will be attending the same pre-school, and her parents and I went to the parent meeting...leaving the kids to play.  When we arrived back, all were dressed up and playing games.  I asked, "did you have fun?"...Amelia replied "yes, until you got here".  I don't think she will look back when school starts this week.  Quite a 360 from what I thought she would do a year ago.  She has morphed.

The next day the kids had their open house...and again, Amelia had to be bribed into leaving.  

When Dad arrived home, he brought a Lego kit back for her which will just add to the metropolis we are growing...she even has a Building Beauty Nightgown :)

oh...and one more Rhubarb dish :) :P...

Rhubarb Upside-down Cake

I won't share the recipe as it is still in the freezer.

It has marshmallows in it and figured Amelia would devour it.  She ate it but didn't ask for it again.  Maybe it is because we have had WAYYYY too much rhubarb! hahahaha.

Next time I will share a Zucchini Pie I made that was delicious, however, no one else ate it.  They don't know what they are missing. 

I also completed my niece Olivia's 3rd birthday invites that I will show next time as well.  Maybe, just maybe, I will have those counter stools completed, but doubt it ... it is taking me forever.
