Hello All!

Hope everyone is doing well out there. My waist line is telling me that I have been doing too much good baking lately - I'm going to have to cut that off soon! It seems that with all the cooking our kitchen is a constant disaster area...With as much heat as it generates, I'm sure we won't be doing much cooking/baking in the summer (unless early in the morning or late in the evening). I made the mock angel food cake (one in a 13 x 9 inch pan) - it was yummy - although Brenna didn't quite understand why there wasn't any frosting, lol. To use up the egg yolks we made pudding (butterscotch on the stove) and crepes today - I have found that both of these recipes work well with soy milk which makes me happy :-) Brenna couldn't wait for the pudding to cool all the way in the fridge, so she enjoyed it warm! Pretty soon, I'm going to have to send the food with Dustin to work or find friends to give it too!

Brenna and I painted with the Rose Art paints where you add water to them - she does really well with these, although sometimes she forgets to put paint on her brush and only uses water, lol. I'm sure we will run out of some of the colors on those at the end of this month.

Brenna couldn't wait to get another bath today - she is going through a phase where she loves getting in the tub. I didn't want her hair washed today - so hopefully, you will enjoy her impromptu shower cap! I braided her hair before bed yesterday - in case you noticed her hair when eating her cake!

Well, nothing much else to report - I need to work on her costume for carnival this week - not sure when the kids get dressed up yet, but I want to have it done in time...Brenna saw me looking at the pattern today and reported that she wanted to play in her dress - uh oh!

Take Care!
