As part of our landscaping around the house there were a few rhubarb plants already here when we bought the house. I was actually pretty excited because I love rhubarb. These two were happy to help me do some weeding and (finally) pick the rhubarb last Sunday.
It was quickly warming up as we were out there and climbed to 70 degrees by noon.
We had so much rhubarb. I couldn't even keep most of it as I had waited too long to pick it and it was going to seed.
I am the only one in the house who likes rhubarb. More for me, I guess! The girls like to play with it though. Here they are in their Rhubarb Shop they set up as Brynn explains in the video below this picture.(not sure what Clara's problem was here).
The first thing I made with the rhubarb was muffins. I thought they turned out pretty well, but of course I was the only one eating them. :-/ Tonight I made a beloved fav of mine: rhubarb dessert. I loved it so much growing up that's what I chose for my birthday treat over cake one year.
Two silly mermaids.
We're ready for summer! During dinner one night we made our summer bucket list. I just realized when I took this pic that Brynn wrote "ride down the river," but failed to note one important word. Ride TO the river. :-) Brynn isn't done with school until next Thursday.
Flashback Friday pic. Our neighbors gave this picture of our house in 1997 to Dana. They were just working on the yard it looks like.
Tonight I took the girls with me to get our nails done. Clara opted for just her toes because she wants to be able to suck on her thumb and typically asks me to leave it unpolished if I am painting her nails. I think she must have thought she would forgo the whole deal to ensure her thumbs didn't get painted. Oh, Clara. She did let the guy know that once she turns four, she isn't going to suck her thumb anymore. ;-) I asked Brynn for a picture of her nails, but didn't end up with one. She opted for the opposite of Clara and got just her fingernails painted.
They painted little flower designs on Clara's big toes.
Tomorrow we are heading to the lakes for a couple of days and on Monday are prepping for our kitchen cabinet project. We are having them painted with new door fronts and drawers. Can't wait!
Happy Memorial weekend.
