Today we did not have to go looking for the geese. Look who was peeking in our window this morning!
We've had a busy graduation weekend, so as soon as we are all caught up on sleep and cleaning we'll be back with more posts.

Today being another warm sunshiny day, Pookie and I went out for a walk in search of the baby geese. Pookie just loves to wave and talk to the baby geese, but sadly we could not find them on our walk today. We tried to just sit and enjoy the sunshine and the pond, but the grass was still to damp from last nights rain and soggy shorts are just no fun, so back inside we came.
Pookie and I are working on the spring cleaning. While vacuuming the floor and cleaning the bathroom should have been top priority, after looking at this Pookie and I decided to re-fold the entire linen closet instead. My fitted sheets look amazing!! infact the whole closet looks great now, but I'm not sure it makes the apartment any more noticeably cleaner. I guess Pookie and I will still have to pull out the vacuum and wash cloths...

After a long, long, delay in posting--I'm finally back! Spring is here and there is lots and lots for Pookie and I to do. The weather being so nice and sunny Pookie and I just wanted to sit in the sun and enjoy being warm and toasty, but alas we have no blanket to sit on and have had to use a bed sheet instead. And so it is time for a picnic blanket! For the first time ever I bought fabric online and they are so cute! This is my absolute favorite that I bought (mine is in green though, but I don't see that listed anymore.) Since the fabric's arrival I have been busy busy busy ironing and cutting. I now have a nice stack of squares, two more prints left to cut, and a whole lot of white cotton to deal with. As soon as I have something stitched together a picture will be posted.

Pookie and I have also been busy running here and there picking out plants for our container garden and for our little plot of shady shady dirt. We both appear to have allergies though and so our flower search has been accompanied by much, much sneezing! The little collection of flowers we have going on now is rather nice, but I can never make up my mind where I want each plant. So here is a little picture of Pookie's and my patio oasis (ignore the gardening mess in the background we'll be cleaning that up tomorrow).

Today Pookie and I got up, got ready, and had some breakfast while watching Martha on TV. Today's Martha was boring--it was on weddings so there was really no cooking or crafting which is the reason we tuned in. So sadly we had to resort to yesterday's Martha show for some inspiration for today's project. Yesterday's inspiration--brownies!
The brownies made yesterday looked oh so good that after an midday nap Pookie and I pulled out the Valentines Martha mag and pulled out the recipe for the brownies. We melted the choclate, butter, and cocoa in our self-designed double boiler system and then had a moment of panic when we realized the baking powder was MIA. After pulling out half the contents of the cupboard we FINALLY found the baking powder (and we checked three times to make sure it was powder not soda because that is a very bad mistake to make) and could thankfully continue with our cooking. We mixed all the ingredients together and Mmmm did that brownie batter smell good! I'm sure Pookie wanted some--I know I did! but raw eggs are bad for little growing Fig so I had to resist the urge (which is so hard when you inadvertantley end up with a big glob of batter on your finger!)
I surfed the net while the brownies baked (and ooh mommy wants a little Octavius for Pookie!) while Pookie perfected her raspberry sounds and high pitch squeals. Then we whipped some cream--threw it on top of our not quite cooled brownies and ate ate ate!

Today Pookie and I made crepes. Well...I made crepes and Pookie provided the soundtrack for crepe making (best described as the sounds of a steaming tea kettle.) We got the recipe here. A very easy recipe seeing as I could mix it all together while holding Pookie to watch. We filled the crepes with raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries and sprinkled them with confectionares sugar. The crepes were super delicious, but the fruit was only so-so. It's not the season for those fruits I guess, they were either super tart or blah bland. Pookie and I were happy with the end result though and will definetly make them again--they were very pretty, take a look!
After it was time for Pookie and I to dance to some zydeco and mariachi music (Pookie is a very good dancer!) What a fun day!
