Sam loves to wear this pair of Dave’s pajama pants. At night, he’ll ask his dad what he’s planning to wear to bed. If Dave isn’t planning to wear these pants, Sam wants them!

Here is our beautiful strawberry rhubarb pie. Sam is calling it a Christmas pie since it is red and white like Santa’s suit.

This is today’s delicious project! We had a lot of fun making this pie. Sam did just about everything–he cut the rhubarb and strawberries (with a real knife!), he mixed up the dough, he helped me roll it out, and he pinched the edges of crust together. Here he is sprinkling some sugar on top:

As I took these pictures, I told Sam that I was documenting his most recent masterpiece. He said, “yeah, and there will surely be many more masterpieces!”

Last year, this peony plant was pretty sad looking and I felt like a big failure of a gardener. This year, they are perfect!

I’m pretty sure that this is the best mothers day card ever.
