Just for fun

 Celery. It went to seed and was very woody. So I chopped it up to put into soups later.

Speaking of soups....I got my "Mother's day gift".
 A Vitamix!  This -don't call it a blender, blender- has the motor power of a 1960s VW Beetle's engine.
 Right out of the box we made a couple of green smoothies. I think the kids liked them.
 And then we made humus. A big batch! It was quickly devoured!

The kids also enjoyed the orange sorbet and are eager to try ALL the recipes.  Thanks honey!  I see more soups, smoothies, dips and more yummies in our future!


 Carrot juice this morning. Not so loved. Sweetness enjoyed it. I thought it was okay, but we're going to need to tweak the recipe a bit. It is odd to drink carrots. The recipe is: water, carrots, a dash of lemon juice, ice.

Look who's sitting! Such a big boy! Last week he was a wobbly nearly independent sitter, over the weekend he became a confident independent sitter, with lots of encouragement from his own personal cheer squad!

 Now that he's mastered sitting for a few days, it seemed appropriate to introduce him to chores. For now, he'll be teamed up with a partner, but I'm sure he'll be on his own soon enough!

 First up, dishes!


 Both enjoyed!
