Spring is finally here, kind of...

I have been super busy with all sorts of projects and playing outside with Jack. We are going away for a couple of months and I feel like I have a million things to do and instead of crossing things off my ever growing list, I have been reading Nicholas Spark books and making felt doughnuts for Jack. 

We finally bought the replacement attachment from MEC so we can use our bike trailer again. Jack loves it. They have been taking advantage of some of the nice spring weather we have been having.

Jackson loves whip cream and I love my Kitchen Aid

These quilt shots are horrible! It was so sunny out and the pictures are so washed out. But this quilt is  for Jack. 

This is a quilt I made for myself. It's from a line called long live vintage. Flowery red's and grey's I loved it. I thought it would go with our red couch. I used a green polka dot backing. I wish now that I had used a grey polka dots, but it's a bit late to change it. 

I tried to recreate the Jugo Juice PB & Chocolate smoothy, it was gross. They use frozen yogurt and Almond chocolate milk and natural peanut butter. I only had vanilla yogurt and coconut chocolate milk.    I think I will try again when I have all the proper ingredients  

I also need an actual blender. Our old blender's chord was left on the stoves element and burned through. Andrew claims to be able to fix it, but I would never use it for fear of dying from an electric shock or accidentally burning down the house. For now I will use this old hand blender and plastic container.

Jack is really into pirates these day's. And sneaking whole carrots from the fridge and leaving half eaten stubs all over the house. 

My good friend/neighbour is  off to Ghana to do research for a year and I am trying to be upbeat about it but I am a bit heart broken about the whole thing. Her daughter is one of Jack's best little buds.
We will definitely miss them.

So i'm off to procrastinate and not pack and clean. Perhaps I will add another ridiculous craft to my list to further put off getting ready.
