I had planned a great 3rd birthday party for Sakura chan this morning. I made my now-near-famous yoghurt cake and had surprises galore. Alas the birthday girl got a cold after planting rice all weekend in Chiba and couldn't make it to Komaba. Too bad..... we ate her cake with gusto and not a morsel was saved.
I hope nobody had intended to start this week by vowing to go on a diet. Our Playgroup "snacktime" just doesn't lend itself to such restrictions! This morning we were spoilt by Maria who brought slimming-plans to a crashing end with her delicious carrot cake. I think it lasted 5 seconds...... even the crumbs were devoured and the plate licked clean by our mob of hungry toddlers. Thank you!! (I'll try and weasel the recipe out of the chef and post it on the blog for next time!)
Alas today is Maria's last day of Playgroup. Andrew will start a mini-summer-camp next week and will thus be kicking up a storm in and around Tokyo Tower for a few weeks. Good luck and thanks for joining all the fun:)
A very big welcome to Saori and Kazuki, who came along with Yukako and Gen and Joe today.
And so that was our last "regular" Playgroup session. Etienne and Daniel were being truly monstrous - I do apologise for that. But who knows what gets into the minds of two-year olds, eh? They got up this morning and decided to try my patience. And boy did they succeed!
Next week is our "Sayonara" party in which we will hopefully get to taste the "mysterious magical miso" of our beloved "Miso-sensei". So carrot sticks and cucumber will replace the calorific menu of today. I might have to make another cake just in case the party menu becomes TOO healthy! See you then, same time, same place.
