Monday morning with lots of cake, wibbly wobbly jelly, tea, coffee, miso and cucumber...... what more could a Komaba Mum ask for, eh?!
Today we celebrated Kyoka's 3rd birthday party. In spite of having lots of "help" with blowing out the candles, she remained calm and cute as ever. I wonder what a three year old wishes for....
Naoko san shared her happy news with us too. Sakura chan is to become a big sister:) Naoko is due in December and joins our "ever-growing group" of "ever-expanding" Mums. Congratualtions:)
Our little two-legged graden friends caused quite a flurry of excitement as well. The tadpoles all have 4 legs and hopefully be "ribbitting" and leaping about the garden by next week. Anyone want one???? I didn't honestly think that 29 would survive to this point!
And finally, our beloved Miso-sensei took centre stage again. However, knowing what a disastrous history our Playgroup miso has for showing any sign of changes, she came armed with her own batch of home-made stuff too. The beans that were soaked, boiled, mashed and fermented in Yukako's house have done what they were meant to do. They fermented and became yummy miso. Beans from the same batch, which were also soaked, boiled, mashed and fermented and then brought to my house however, did not. They have defied the laws of science and have remained exactly as they were 3 months ago. We moved the miso-pot three times in search of the perfect temperature and conditions but still no change! Something is afoot..... Zenzen wakarimasen:) Any ideas??
When the PG ladies started yelling for cucumbers today, I was filming the miso-tasting with camera in one hand, changing Daniel's pants with another, serving tea, coffee and cake with yet another, thus demonstrating remarkably well how to "multi-task". But you got your cucumber eh? Hope you liked them:)
Thats all for now - see you next Monday for Playgroup or more than likely, in the park between now and then:)
