Day 191: Blueberry Syrup

My friends Rachel and Donna and I got together to make syrup with the berries we picked last week.  This may become a tradition!

We joined friends again to pick blueberries on Sauvie Island.

Day 175: YoCream Date

June 24

Lexi had a gift card, and today seemed like the perfect day to use it.

Day 167: Charburgers

June 16

I grilled burgers this evening, and our neighbor asked if we needed her to call 911.

Day 163: The Last Ones

June 12

I finally finished off the last box of Girl Scout cookies.  Now I have to wait until next February for more.

Day 132: Birthday!

May 12

It's my birthday!  (And that's a lot of candles!)

Day 122: Strawberries

May 2

It was my turn to bring treats to book club, and these were too tempting to resist.

Day 102: Greek Salad

April 12

My favorite.

Day 86: Slappy Cakes

March 27

Grandma & Grandpa are here for a visit, and one of the things they wanted to do was take us out for breakfast.  The girls were quick to suggest this local place.  While I will admit it seems a little absurd to pay to make your own breakfast, it's great to not have to clean up after this kind of adventure.  Besides, the Eggs Benedict that my mother-in-law and I shared was well worth the cost of everything together.

Day 84: Ice

March 25

The ice cubes usually break apart when they fall from the ice maker into the box, but this one somehow survived the fall.

Day 81: A Day for Me

March 22

Les Miserables came out on DVD today, so what better way to celebrate the end of finals than with a movie and some tasty chocolates while the girls were at school?  

Day 74: Making Lunches

March 15

My kids don't really go for normal sandwiches.

Day 68: A Night Out

March 9

Chris and I enjoyed a yummy dinner at a local place, Bistro 23.  I highly recommend the pizza.

Day 61: The Action Packed Snack!

March 2

This just makes me shudder.

Day 58: Not for Dad

February 27

This is what happens when he finishes off the previous box.

Day 53: Cookies!

February 22

Yet another booth sale, this one with jazz hands.

Day 51: The Best Time of Year

February 20

I shouldn't love these so much, but I do.

Day 46: First Booth Sale of the Year

February 15

This is how I'll be spending the next three weekends.

Day 44: Getting Ready for Booth Sales

February 13

Both troops met together today, and the Cadettes gave the Daisies some pointers on how to set up a good cookie booth.

Day 40: Got Cookies?

February 9

My poor co-leader is stuck with piles of cookies in her living room until March.
