Broken Promises

The May posts were supposed to be Health Challenge posts. Then they were supposed to be all about Sweet P. What a terrible blogger I am. Making broken promises like that. Health Challenge will be moved to a later date (I'm not telling you when!) and I will be bragging about my daughter for the next couple of posts.

Sadly, I cannot get the video option to work for the videos I'd like to post of Sweet P. So you'll just have to listen to my raves about her new tricks and take my word for it. Although it's much cuter to watch/listen to her do it. Stay tuned...

Farm Day

Yesterday was a farm day! Time to see the bloomed peonies and lilies! And time to harvest some of our veggies.

Here's what we've got so far:

A variety of lettuces

Bok choy

Spinach

Swiss chard

Radishes

Kale

Arugula

Last night we had a fabulous salad full of our new lettuces and spicy arugula (it even smells hot!). It was the first time I got to pick vegetables and I was really excited. Sadly, I left the farm sunburned. Ouch, but don't worry. Sweet P was fully covered with SPF 60! Here are the greens we picked!

Summer Saturdays

Oh how I love them! Yesterday was jam packed with activities for us and if you can believe it, Sweet P stayed up until 9:15pm! I hardly made it to 9:15 so I'm not sure what kept her going. Especially because it was close to 90˚ all day and we spent most of it outside.

The crazy busy Farmer's Market

We started at the Farmer's Market with yummy breakfast. Crepes with Nutella, banana and whip cream for me and samosas and an Indian wrap for the Farmer. (Sweet P had a banana). Um, let's talk about Nutella for a minute. I was completely unaware of the powers of Nutella until about a week ago. While shopping with Auntie K, I bought Nutella as an impulse buy. We were buying organic peanut butter and it kept staring at me.

Where has Nutella been all my life!? Why have I been living in the dark? I love it...all of it's chocolatey, hazelnutty, goodness. So yummy. So needless to say that crepe was great. But it has not become my staple. I'm still on the hunt for my breakfast of the summer.

After the FM, we came home and did some yard work. (Yes, mom. You heard correctly, I did yard work.) Sweet P fell asleep and soon after, the Farmer headed to his substate playoff soccer game. Sadly, the game did not end well...and ended the season. But the Farmer kept his head up and we walked to church from our house that afternoon. It honestly takes us just as long to walk as it did to drive from our old apartment!

We ended the day with pizza at a friend's house. We sat outside and Sweet P played with their daughter, L. It was the perfect end to a not so-perfect (considering the loss) day. Oh, how I love summer Saturdays.
