Random Updates: Dancing, Grapes, Birds, and Fish

Posted on September 24, 2009 by Nancy

I have all these pictures and updates that relate to nothing but themselves, so I figured I’d just do one big post about them all. 🙂

Dancing
Remember last week? Marjorie wanted a skirt for dance class? Well, mom that I am…I couldn’t say “no”

(Yes, she has crocks on…we’re still in the car here 🙂 )

Grapes
Remember the grapes we found in our back yard? They’re now ripe!

And Jessica – my nanny – peeled and seeded them and then had Marjorie help her bake a grape pie! Holy cow. It’s delicious!!

(I also learned something…if your fruit pie looks like it will be runny, just add an egg and it will firm right up while cooking. Who knew??)

And a little story. Marjorie had a few blueberries in her hand and told Daddy that she wanted to make a blueberry pie. He kept telling her that we didn’t have enough blueberries for a pie, so she became thoughtful … apparently she remembered the bucket full of grapes we had picked earlier in the day and said, “Grape pie!” We’d never heard of grape pie before…

Birds
Remember Marjorie’s birdhouse? I finally got around to taking a picture of it hanging up.
