Upside down

Here is a silly picture of Katharine to help pad my July post count.

I have been super busy this month, and Iria has taken a lot more pictures than me. I’ve just got to teach her how to post pictures since they all get downloaded onto her Mac.

Iced Rasberry Mousse

Katharine found a recipe in one of her cookbooks today, and since it was too hot to go outside the next best thing was to stay inside and make iced raspberry mousse!



The kids improvised and added marshmallows during the mixing phase.



Lennon was happy enough to get some spare rasberries.



Licking the whisks was a highlight. It is always my favorite part,,



And after two hours in the freezer: iced rasberry mousse!



And after only two spoonfuls, it was on to researching the next recipe.



"Fairy Cooking" will never let us down!

If only

we all had such sweet dreams!

Sweet Dreams

"I love you, Katharine. I love you, Lukas. I love you, Lennon." (blows them a kiss).

Nighttime routine

Grilled pizza and fun at the Martels

Next week: Deep fried pizza! (kidding)

Pajama time

So this is what our Christmas card was supposed to look like last year,, minus the bedroom background and matching pajamas. Happy holidays everyone!

All of the kids were dead tired and cranky tonight by 5:30 PM, and Iria and I were asking ourselves how we were going to make it past the next 90 minutes until bedtime. Turns out that a bath and matching set of pajamas did the trick- we had to drag them into their beds at 7:30 and read a whole ‘Winnie the Poo’ chapter before they started getting sleepy again.
