Saturday ramblings

The frogs are awake and horny ;)  Earlier than normal but last night we heard them croaking for the first time this year :)  Woohoo - they are in the pond and awake from their sleep at the bottom of the cold water in the mud......I love hearing the frogs each Spring!!  If you check back on last year you can listen to the videos of the frogs croaking!!!!

The frogs are awake because it is soooo warm here right now - today it is going to be 24c!!!  YES!!!  24c!!!   and by Wednesday they forecast 25c!!!!!  OMG!!!!!  We will have to put the air conditioning on!!! Woohoo!!!  :)  Here's to Summer :)  I'm loving it!!!  Now of course we could still get a dump of snow before Victoria Day, BUT let's enjoy this while it lasts :)  We're firing up the BBQ tonight  :)

Last night the neighbours dog was over playing with our dogs and then our neighbour dropped by to say hi...then she invited us over after supper to see her little baby and see how he had grown.  So after our pizzas I took Susannah and Abigail over for a little while to see their baby - awwww he has grown so much - chewing on his fists and full of smiles :)  He is so adorable :)  Just the cutest thing :)

Anyway - Today it too nice to waste on the computer, so now I have updated my blog I am off outside to enjoy my day!!

Have a good one everyone!!!

Pizza making...

Last night we made pizza's.  We used a really easy dough that Kara had posted about on her blog.  We doubled the mix so there was enough for everyone to make their own pizza and the boys got make one and a half each.  This was PLENTY for our family of 7!!  

We haven't made pizzas before so we didn't make any of the toppings ourselves - I bought a selection of toppings that the children could pick from and they all had great fun preparing their bases from the dough we made and then topping it from all the choices we had!!

The one above is mine!!

It was great fun - the children said they'd like to do this every week - and although we won't be doing it every week, we will definitely do it again very soon!!!  I don't like pizza (I only ate the toppings on mine) I did LOVE the activity itself!!!  A really fun family activity!!

Everyone agreed the pizza was much nicer than bought pizza - and it showed because they all ate their pizzas - much more than normal pizza!!!  

Fun!!

Parsnip fries..

These are the yummy PARSNIP FRIES that were mentioned on Oh She Glows yesterday!!  I made them last night to go with our home made pizzas!!  They are oven baked in a peanuty butter and EVOO mix and are DELICIOUS!!  They were quick to disappear and good for you :)
