Rainbow Cake

I went away this past weekend for my sister-in-law Catherine's stagette. Andrew stayed home with Jack. I think they had a pretty great weekend. I desperately needed a little break so this was a great chance to get away. When I got back I wanted to do a fun little activity with Jack, so we made a Rainbow cake for Andrew. Jack loves helping in the kitchen, I let him do most of it. We had food dye all over the place. I think if you prepare yourself for a mess and having to go really slow. It can be kind of fun baking with kids.

Liege Waffles

These are the tastiest Waffles I have ever had. They are made with a yeast batter. They are more of a treat then a Breakfast, but the caramelization from the pearl sugar is so amazing. Both Andrew and Jack love these.

You can find the recipe at  Prudent Baby

Day 23 - Black & White
This is from a trip to the Calgary Zoo. Jack was more into collecting rocks. Luckily we have a pass, so I just let him do his thing.

This is a close up shot of out little garden. I can't wait to eat these carrots! Carrots fresh from the garden are the best.

Day 20 - Water

Day 20 - Water 
When I am cooking dinner I try to find something to distract Jack for more than 2 minutes at a time. This can be hard since he is in a perpetual state of motion, all the time! So this is my favourite summer time distraction. I just fill a big bowl of water give him some spoons and ice cube tray's and a straw and let him go to town. By the end he is soaked and I usually have enough time to get dinner made.
