crazy hair day

Mulu's elementary school (he is in 2nd grade) had crazy hair day - this was our attempt (seeing that I didn't have hair paint like he initially wanted). He said it was a great hit - and that people laughed at him but it was ok because he was trying to be funny :)

its a little hard to see with the dark background - but we did dozens of little tiny pony tails all over his head.

Pie Crust 101

Before Thanksgiving day Aaliyah and I got to go visit my Grandma (Aaliyah's GREAT grandma) Hubacher to teach us how to make her perfect pie crust. It turned out to be a very special day for the three of us (and we ended up making lots of wicked good pies.

Here is Great Grandma showing Aaliyah exactly how much ice cold water should be added

Aaliyah's turn to roll it out



We made a mini pumpkin pie just for Aaliyah. She ended up taking it to preschool to show her teacher and friends - they cut it into little pieces and they all got to try some.

Here is Aaliyah and Great Grandma posing with the mini pie - (this is Aaliyah's wink smile)




The three bakers - not bad for a self timed photo
