castles, 6 veg, blueberries, footballs, soccer, baseball, and all the such.

well. this week has been a baking week.
monday i baked 2 cakes and stuck them in the fridge.
tuesday. i made vienna cream and frosted those cakes.
out came a castle!
tuesday i also made 6 veg for lunch. i was craving some veggies.
a typical australian meal consists of meat and 3 veg...some type of meat and 3 different veggies. at the catford house...we have meat and 6 veg. gotta love your vegetables.
then i made blueberry muffins on wednesday. oh my goodness. so delicious! made with REAL blueberries!
then yesterday i took a break from all the cooking.
today...i am making cupcakes.
tomorrow i will frost them.
and sunday we will eat them at xavier's birthday party. he is having a sports theme so i am going to decorate each cupcake a different sport. fun stuff!

not much going on. just a lot of down time this week. a lot of reading and baking. i read the screwtape letters and more than a carpenter this week. and did 3 devotions. today will be day number 4 of the devotion run.
this weekend is just getting ready for xavier's birthday and celebrating him.
yea.
then next week will be tanya's last week of her 6 week work term. so it will be another down week. i'll go shopping and grab the last of my souvenirs for everyone. and then next saturday i'm going to an australian football game (aft) with john and the boys. so that will be fun. and then it will be june. and then i will be home. weird.
i am excited that time is moving by quickly. but also sad. i like my God time out here. and not that i won't get it at home, it's just nice having all day doing nothing but God time. it will just be different when i get home. life will be different at home. and that's ok. life is good. love life. love God.
