Tarte au chocolat, anyone?

A classic, French tarte au chocolat. It looks like a calorie bomb, but actually it is not. Delicious!

Musuem

Last week Thomas went with his dad to the city's Children's Museum. He was very excited at first, until we explained to him that he was probably not going to hear any music, he confused "museum" and "music". Not surprising he didn't remember the last he was in a museum: he was sleeping.
They left at 9:30 in the morning, the museum opens at 10:00, I expected them back around 1PM. Thomas had a good time, he was ready to go home at 3:30, Dad was ready long before that. What bothered him the most was the noise. "Yeah", I said, "I imagine it must be loud, all those kids." "No" was his answer, "it's the parents who are loud. The kids are quietly absorbed in their activities, but the parents can't stop shouting at them."

Jumpsuit

After the bodysuits, the jumpsuits:

The first is an Ottbre pattern, the second is from Kiind magazine

Bodysuit

Wrap around or side snap bodysuits for newborns seem to be rare in the US. But they are so practical during the first months! So I decided to make my own. For a first try I used a cheap knit from the local fabric store.

Cute, no? The snaps are missing, they are on the way. However, this is supposed to be size Newborn (=56cm), but I think it is for a very chubby newborn. Look, compared to an "official" size 56:

So the pattern (Ottobre, btw) needs a little tweaking. Once I get the hand of it I will be making them in bulk, since this super adorable Znok fabric is coming my way. Lots of it.....

Sprinkler fun

Bycicling in 100 degrees Farenheit can make you hot. Time to cool off...

A few T-shirts

And look, we had a visitor the other day:

Strawberries, anyone?

Today we went strawberry-picking. It started out real nice, but we finished picking in the rain. The berries are worth it! So the next days we will have strawberry tarte, strawberry ice cream, strawberry smoothies, strawberry dessert (with balsamico vinegar and mint).... Mmmmmmmm!
