THE LITTEST BAKER


Here's my littlest baker in her new apron and new purple hat. She was pretty pleased with herself this day, she was helping me make pizza (by eating the dough).

OH, MY...

Can you see this?


How about this?


I agree, that boy needs a haircut.


I was mostly successful on the cutting, though I admit it is crooked in parts.
Taking the after photo, however, proved impossible.

DID THEY EAT IT?

Today in the DID THEY EAT IT adventures: Nilla pudding!


They like Nilla wafers (who doesn't?), they like bananas, but do you think they'd eat this?


Gus took one bite, declared it "delicious" and went off to slay dragons.


Nova took one bite, and spit it out.


She then picked the nillas out, grabbed the kitchen towel, and wiped all remains of pudding off so she could eat the cookie.


Which she did while holding it with the towel.


I guess that's a big NO. Come on, monsters! Do you know how hard it is to make meringue without an electric mixer?

Nova is an excellent helper!

BATMAN/DARTH VADAR/LUKE?


He's wearing a Batman shirt and a Darth Vadar mask, but he keeps pulling it up on his head and saying "I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you!"

NEW PAL

Gus has a new friend. He lives a block away, he likes dinosaurs, godzilla, star wars, and he's got blonde hair. Best friends forever?

CANDYLAND

The truth is, they have no idea how the game is played. But that doesn't stop them from playing with the board and the pieces, and making up a story about it all.

MORNIN'


Nova's just not her usual bright and shiny self until she gets a cup o' milk in the morning. And she's pretty cute in these fuzzy purple jamas. Happy Valentine's Day!

BAKING

The oven has been broken since before Thanksgiving, and this week the wonderful, amazing Poppa fixed it. We've been baking a lot. Cookies! Blueberry muffins! Pizza!

PATIENCE IS HARD


Waiting for them to cool off is the hardest part!

NONI + COOKIE

I don't know what I love best about this photo: the stretch pants, the puffy vest, or the giant cookie. Nova started picking out her own clothes.....

REMEMBER THE DRUMS?

Does anyone remember this little urchin?


(I hardly recognize him myself!) Back when the shop was in the old building, Gus had free reign of a drum set on a daily basis. He loved it, and it was fun to let him wail on the drums. He got a reprise this week when one of the bands that played at our record show left a piece of his set:


Needless to say, Gus was pretty pleased.
