Patrick's 2nd Birthday Party

We had such a fun time yesterday hanging out with a few family members and friends. Patrick has been playing with his new toys all morning and we tried to use up some of the leftover bread from the grilled cheeses by making french toast.

Here are the pictures we have from the party. If you have any good ones, send them to me and I'll add it to the album.

For those of you who got to try the watermelon punch. Here's the recipe:

Watermelon Punch

*pulp from a watermelon
*can of frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
*2 cups pineapple juice

Put the melon pulp in the blender - seeds and all. Blend until smooth. Strain through a mesh strainer into a large punch bowl. Add the lemonade concentrate and the pineapple juice. Mix and serve in pretty glasses over crushed ice. For extra panache, throw in some mint leaves. I will do that next time. :)

Sunny with dark sky. Locusts. Love this weather.

6 pictures for you

Bye Bye Indigo Young from Music Together, you've been great. Patrick is ready for his next set of classes: swimming! So far, he's hating them but he'll get better. Then this fall: preschool!

Here is Sean and Patrick at the farm's Farm Day last Saturday. We ate lots of great stuff. Check out my blog post about how the day went (haven't written it - as of this posting time) at crookedskyfarms.com.

Bye bye Camille and the Craws (John, Lydia, Sam and Rachael) we will miss you and wish you much luck in Kansas City. We hope you eat lots of great BBQ in your new house! Thanks Beth and Chris for lending us your house for the goodbye party this last Saturday night.

In case you didn't know already, Patrick is obsessed with trains and Thomas the Train. Here's his Thomas overalls. I think these used to be Sam's. Thanks Camille!

Just liked this cute picture.

And this one too.

Note: for all you blogspot bloggers, if you email your pictures from picasa to your blog email (the one you set up) it takes like two seconds to put them in a post, then go edit. I did that this time, kept the title as the email title it uses when you use this method. Lots of pics lickety split.

New craigslist rug ;) love it!

Farm Day RSVP

Hi! Wanted to see who all of my friends can make it to the farm day this Saturday at Crooked Sky. You're all invited but I wanted to know who could make it so that Frank knows how much stuff to buy and I know how much stuff to cook. If you could email, text or comment to this post, that'd be awesome. Also, I need to know by the end of the day today. Sorry for the late notice, hope you get it! :) If you don't reply in time, you're still invited! No worries!
