Tristen, the cousins, the kids and I had a bake off.
The rules — it had to be from Pinterest, and no bribing the judges.
Team Lindsey (Chloe, Trey, Scout, Dash and Me) put together this cookie cup with ice cream and homemade hot fudge.
I’ll admit that three of the judges (Britni, Trilby, Megan and my mom) were raving. The un-raver was my mom who didn’t have it in front of her for more than two seconds when she announced that “This looks delicious, but you made the cookie cup MUCH too thick!”
Team Tristen (Cade, Tristen and Navy) cooked for hours after us.
No wonder — they made three desserts.
Impressive!
The judges had already had my dessert, gone to dinner and come home. So unfortunately, by the time they were taste testing Tristen’s desserts, they were stuffed. But I think they had good and bad to say.
-
So who was the winner?
Nobody exactly knows.
The tasting was so far apart that everyone forgot what Team Lindsey’s tasted like by the time they got to Team Tristen.
In that case, I will gladly accept the win.
Only because if there had been time constraints, Team Tristen would have clearly DQ’d themselves.
Honestly - I can’t really remember if this was actually Dash’s first swim. I vaguely remember him being in the pool at other times. But who knows — maybe that was the bath, or maybe I am remembering Scout??? But I just looked through my pictures again, and I think this might be the big FIRST.
That being said –
Of course I had just the right outfit for our littlest.
It can’t get much cuter than a mini shark in the water.
Obviously the kids agree.
I held him most of the time, but Scout jumped in when I needed to get or do something with both hands.
(Such as the camera)
My first two are amazing in the water.
And they both LOVE to be in it.
Good thing that it looked like Dash was just as enamored by it.
Scout had his preschool program.
It was at the park up the street from school, and I showed up a bit early to see them walking there. It was so cute to see them all coming down the stairs.
He had been gone the week before, so I wasn’t sure if he would hang with the other kids, but he managed just fine.
Especially in the Easter Egg hunt.
Both of these guys had to donate some of their eggs to the other kids in the class.
And then it was time for an Easter feast.
We brought the sandwiches in full Easter glory.
After lunch, Navy and Scout went outside with some Fun Dip.
Navy’s spilled and she was determined to eat it all up.
I am talking ten minutes of licking the ground.
Why didn’t I stop it?
Why do you think I sent them out with Fun Dip in the first place — to get ten minutes of adult life in — which included calling insurance companies today.
Scout managed to get all of his Fun Dip right into his mouth which had him bouncing off the walls in no time.
