Riot and Frolic

– a new car seat for V.  It's narrow enough to fit three car seats across our back row. Because we'll need that soon.  Oy.

– two new-to-us little girl bikes.  Never mind that they can't really reach the pedals or understand the circular motion of pedaling.  Fun!  (No, Mae Cake didn't fall on her head after this picture was taken.  She only looks top heavy.  She will definitely have a round posterior like one or two of her parents.)  Plus, I get a workout pushing each of them up and down the sidewalk.

– a billion loaves of bread.  Well, maybe five.  I felt like I always had my trusty breadmaker going this week.  Bread-baking also involved digging through a bag of garbage to find the wee mixing blade that got thrown out when one of my loaves didn't rise. Anybody have a recipe for some good multi-grain bread?  Recipes are encouraged!

– amazing flowers from my G.

– one whole pineapple eaten by two little ladies.

– constant pondering of if it's actually possible to buy Nutella in bulk.

– wondering what the past tense of "seek" is.

– changing things around on the blog.  I do love to tweek!  This time, you don't have to sign in to leave a comment (hint, hint), just leave your email (which isn't published), so the computer knows you're a real person.

– reading of The Hunger Games, another teen fiction trilogy.  This one seems well-written and dark.  Like, really dark.  So dark, I don't even want to tell you the plot.

– smiling each time I smell Lola.  Dang, she sniffs good.

– the return of True Blood, a trashy, horrible, delicious show.
