The end of summer came and left before I had time to say goodbye! A few highlights from the last month were Joey's birthday party one month late. He had a great time with a few friends and Bay Beach. And then we topped it off with a bonfire and pinata at Gramma's house. It was lots of fun!
The other pictures I had from summer were these from a random Sunday when David got the bee in his bonnet to make cupcakes. We were making them from scratch and right after we got started Abby needed to nurse, so I told the kids to take a break and we would come back to it. Well, David sees no need for me in the kitchen while he is making cupcakes, and as luck would have it he did a great job! I couldn't believe he even made it through the part where we were out of milk so he had to actually make milk from our food storage powdered milk. I said from the other room, "Why don't you just wait for me and I'll make the milk and then you can measure it?" He said, "well, if I just pour a little in and then some water and taste it I can do it myself" And sure enough, he did it, tasted it and said, "this doesn't taste like milk, so I'll pour a little more in" which he did and then he was finally satisfied with the taste of the milk so he poured his cup in. I said, "did you measure it before you poured the milk in?" He said, "no" so I went out there thinking he had just ruined all the batter and so I poured water into the cup he used until he told me how much had been in the cup. I measured the water to see how much milk he had poured in and sure enough, it was almost exactly the amount he needed. I couldn't believe the luck of this kid, but sometimes I think it is just shere determination that drives him... anyway, they were wonderful in the end especially when we decided to use our fresh raspberries from Grampa's garden in the frosting. Nice work Davey! He actually ate these, unlike the pumpkin pie he was dying for me to make from the pumpkins we got from Grampa's garden.... that is another story...
