Happy Saturday

We started our morning with a yummy breakfast today.  Fresh baked croissants and fruit salad.  If you have not tried Trader Joe's croissants, do yourself a favor and go get some today!  They are frozen, but you leave them on a cookie sheet at room temperature over night to rise and then pop them in the oven when you get up.  They only take about 20 minutes to bake and are one hundred times better than those soft, mushy croissants at the market.  These get super crisp and flaky.  They also have chocolate ones.  Great treat!

Miss Lauren loved our fruit salad.  She had mangoes and nectarines in her new feeder.  It is a mesh pocket with an easy to grab handle.  I put fruit inside and she can suck it out through the mesh.  I don't have to worry about her choking and she is totally entertained.  She is becoming more independent all the time, and easily frustrated when she can't do things by herself.  So this is a great gadget for both of us.  I plan on freezing some watermelon to try later.  She is teething SO BAD (I can see the tooth pushing through her swollen gums, but it still hasn't cut all the way through) and I think the cold melon might feel soothing and taste yummy too.

And finally, Captain America is Jack's latest alter ego.  Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Parlor (or "Batman-Robin" as Jack calls it) is featuring Captain America ice cream as their flavor of the month.  Since Jack took a good nap yesterday we treated him to ice cream after dinner.  He got the very last scoop of Captain America in the building!  It was delicious, if you are three years old.  Now he can use his shield to protect himself from Baby's drool.
Have a great weekend everyone.
