I could only convince Thomas not to eat all of the blueberries yesterday by promising him I would make him blueberry pancakes this morning. He didn't forget and neither did I - I love blueberry pancakes as much as he does. Especially with wild blueberries!

These little blueberries were perfect! The ones we get in the store are always too big and not so flavorful. But not these little guys - so yummy!

Henry approves as well! I tried to cut his pancake for him, but he grabbed it up and started chowing down before I got the chance. Looks pretty happy, doesn't he?

He has also been carrying around a motorcycle toy since Matt left on his trip. He randomly holds it up and yells "Dada!" I guess he wanted Dada to join us for breakfast this morning. :)

You can't tell from the photo, but I threw a few extra blueberries in with their bananas and Henry dug them all out before touching his banana. Turns out he might love blueberries too - his chin was pretty purple from all the juicy blueberries by the end of breakfast.

And another treat made from Alaskan fruit - a strawberry rhubarb pie! I cheated and bought the strawberries because our plants have yet to fruit, but the rhubarb is legit - it came from our neighbors yard. My whole family was a little bummed about the pie because I told them it was for work and not for them - ha!

But the joke was on me... The oven timer went off and it wasn't quite finished, so I stuck it back in. I didn't set the timer, thinking it only needed another minute. And then the boys did something in the other room that led to screaming, so I went off to remedy that. By the time I remembered I was in the middle of baking, the pie managed to get too dark. No way was I taking an imperfect pie in to work!

So I whipped up a batch of cookies for work and the family got the pie. There were no complaints about the crust at all from them, they were just happy they didn't miss out on the strawberry-rhubarb deliciousness. :)
