Cheese Kite

I'm the guest blogger on the blog "Stay in the Car Mom" today. I did my guest post about what I learned at cooking class, and included a recipe for braised Southwest Barbecue Pork Ribs. Check it out here. Thanks Cathy for having me as a guest blogger.

Today was very windy. You know what that means.

Miss got to fly a kite! You probably can't tell from this picture, but it's a "SpongeBob SquarePants" kite. Miss called it her "cheese kite." I didn't correct her. Who needs their two-year-old to discover SpongeBob?

My mother-in-law showed her how to fly it.

And we even let her try it herself. We probably should have had her hold it with two hands. But I was focused on taking her adorable photo, and my mother-in-law was focused on getting out of the way of me taking her adorable photo, so you can imagine what happened.

Oh yes. She let it go. It was almost lost over the lake. Thank goodness for those beautiful redbuds, in which the string for the kite got tangled, allowing my husband and mother-in-law to retrieve it.

It was too cold and windy out for Lass today. So she stayed inside

and posed for some adorable photos of her own.




I can't get enough of her hair!

I apologize for doing so many wordy, photo-lacking posts lately. My computer problem really messed up my access to my photos and my iPhoto for a while. I have a new hard drive and was able to restore my old photos, with much difficulty and long waiting. So now I'm back in business. I don't much enjoy doing posts with no photos, so rest assured I am returning to posting with them. I've tried to make up for the recent lack with the last two posts.

P.S. The new season of "Chopped" starts tonight on Food Network at 10pm Eastern time!
