How To Make a "Little Critter" Sandwich

I grew up on Mercer Mayer's "Little Critter" books, and Brynn really seems to have taken a liking to them as well. One of the titles we have is "Bye-Bye, Mom and Dad" where the parents go away on a trip and leave Little Critter and Little Sister to stay with Grandpa and Grandma. In the middle of the story, Little Critter takes it upon himself to make lunch for everyone. Brynn thought it was pretty funny, and asked me if she could make a sandwich like Little Critter made in the book. As you will see below, it isn't necessarily your run-of-the-mill PB&J. So, I told her if she ate a "normal" lunch she could make one of these sandwiches afterward. 

So, here are the step-by-step instructions on how to make Little Critter's signature sandwich. And a video tutorial, too. 




 

The ingredients








Oops! There she goes.

Here is the video if you have an extra six minutes. :-) Sorry; it's a little long even after I cut some out. Oh, and just ignore my constant camera clicking. Mamarazzi at it again.




And we did go out for another bike ride last night, and this time I brought the little camera. It was baby's first time in the bike carrier.


Ralstie, Brynn's trusty steed who is boarded at Cash Wise Foods. Not sure where she got his name from and I'm also not confident on the spelling, but that's what it sounds like when she says it.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
