subliminalrabbit I was hoping to make the carrot zucchini muffins that E loves for a toddler friend who just became a big sister. Do you use a full half cup of syrup? I hate to be a cheap-o, but that's a lot of syrup. Just curious if you've ever cut it back or swapped something.
1.) I hope lil 1.5butterflies feels better soon! 2.) Am I the only city girl who gets a kick out of your farm living!! I think D would shit his pants if he ever sees a live cow! Or a real tractor!!! 3.) I have zero tolerance for alcohol and one martini would screw me up sideways but that dirty looks insane!

cricket I just uploaded to tinypic and copied their [img*] code and pasted it into the reply box. I'm pretty sure we have to upload the pics to a site before posting on here, unless you use the app.
The newest update to safari screws up uploading and copying url so I've just switched to chrome to make it easier. It's just a little slower.
mcbush I'm making my dough and rolls later but baking them in the morning. After I slice and arrange them in the pan should I let them rise today or just refrigerate right away and let them rise after coming to room temp tomorrow? Or both?

I usually do cut it down, but not by much. I basically don't fill the whole measuring cup. Real syrup is expensive but I'd rather E have that than refined sugar!
...says the girl who let her toddler have a bazillion mini trail mix cookies on a hike this AM so he would stop screaming at being in the pack...

We only did a pretty flat four miles because there's a ton of packed snow and ice up in the mountains (although it's 70F down here in town), but it was so nice to get out!
We couldn't get the pup in the photo, but she came too!

cricket I've used Organic agave syrup as a substitute for refined sugar as well. I find it even sweeter than maple syrup so I use a little less. I don't pay for my maple syrup (I'm spoiled and my dad always brings me a bunch whenever he comes out from Quebec. He gets it from a neighbour who has a sugar shack), but the price I paid at Costco for 2 containers of agave was close to the same amount I've seen 1 jar maple syrup going for in the store around here. So that might be a slightly cheaper route if the price difference between the two is similar to here.

We had a really lovely morning this morning. The weather is fabulous!
We went with some friends to a local mountain and hiked around a bit. Then we checked out the nearby German brewpub (though sadly, I did not get the Hefe I wanted), and LO did great! I was stunned to get in the car and find that it was 2:15 and LO hadn't napped yet. Ooops. Normally he acts up if he's that far past naptime, but I guess he was totally into our outing. He fell asleep on the car ride home and is still napping.
This was also our first long outing in just underwear. He had one small accident (contained in the training pants) - but beyond that did wonderfully using the toilets out and about! I'm continually stunned by this working out.
It's supposed to be even nicer tomorrow! We'll probably walk down to our nearby lake to go look at the ducks.
lioness13 - you'll have to let me know how the trolley is! I'm intrigued by it, but not sure if it's worth the trip.
I have spring fever! It was 57 today! We put together the trike she got for Christmas, took a walk to the park, and H cleaned out the garage and washed the vehicles.

Hi ladies! I just landed back in the USA!!! Still have another flight before I get home but I'm glad to be back in the country and know I'll be seeing H and A later tonight!!!
Hope everyone has had a good week. Did I miss anything big?!
Ev went down for a nap fine but woke up drenched and had a 102.6 fever. She seems fine other than being a little fussy. I hope whatever it is, passes soon!
For the second day in a row, DD read books in bed rather than napped. I think we will have to remove her books from her room.
We then tried to walk to the park, but she refused to sit in the stroller. Upon arrival to the park, there was a group of loud and vulgar adolescents loitering about. DD was bug-eyed watching them and didn't want to engage on any of the equipment. Then I had to carry her all the way home.

majwv8 We pulled out our trike today too! Between the zoo and playing outside this afternoon, LO got a solid four hours of outside time in. It was amazing.
