spring is on its way!

some photos taken a couple of weeks ago as the kids had fun playing in the melting ice rink!











love the late afternoon light slanting through the trees
the exuberance in their movements
the joy in simple things

Now that's a BIG bowl of Bananas!

Last week whe Leo and I were at the market I bought 2 huge bunches of bananas for $1...then nobody ate them! So tonight the kids helped me peel them and I made banana bread, banana muffins, banana cake & more banana bread! Yikes!
The kids actually had a great time peeling the bananas~Leo even wanted to squish them with his bare hands!

...and yes, my kitchen aid is purple, your monitor is not playing tricks on you! I am a purple junkie!

In addition to the bananas we had an action packed day~friends drove into town an they brought their new gock's frocks to show them to me ~

and yes - that is Leo - he wanted in on the photo shoot so he volunteered to model the set I had made Eily for her birthday with Riley in her birthday set! He keeps a smile on my face...

after dinner we got our eggs decorated ~ I don't know what was covered with more dye - Leo or the eggs...it was right to the bath for him!

Tomorrow I will post some more sneak peeks of my latest designs and update you all on gock's frocks...

Thanks for checking in!
