Tutus and pie

It all started with with my first apple pie ever, Friday (and a bottle of wine). Everyone seemed quite pleased with the apple pie. It was pretty and yummy! Saturday we headed to Joann's fabrics to buy fabric for a tutu making lesson at Aunties house. While I was standing in line to get my tulle cut, a woman asked me, " Are those ALL your kids?" Hahahaha. Then the lady behind her said, "I was afraid to ask." I love it. I totally forget what a show we must be when we go out in public. Im laughing again as I type. So funny.
We headed to Aunties for some girl time, and Jenna made the prettiest tutu for her birthday party next weekend. Chico got to hang out with Uncle for a couple hours, as we took over the house with girli-ness.
Today was pie making marathon. We made 3 pies. Jenna made a lemon creme pie. Jayda made chocolate cream pie and Julia made a lemon meringue pie. We have lots of lemons, thanks to Papa Gary!! We had Grandma and Papa over as our judges!
We laughed pretty hard as we tried to cut through Jenna's graham cracker crust! It tasted really good, but it definitely lacked presentation. Jayda's chocolate cream pie was yummy too!

Lessons I learned in Pie Making this weekend..

1. A pie crust is really easy to make
2. Meringue takes FOREVER to form stiff peaks!
3. It requires more wine to be happy on your feet all day. :))


The picture of Jillian in her red dress... She's been asking to wear that dress for 3 days but we haven't let her because its too fancy. Then I thought this morning, " Why not??" So she wore it outside to ride her bike in and lick bowls of the pie fillings! Might as well wear it instead of let it hang in the closet!!!
