Bleh.  We&#8217;ve been going to pre-school open houses constantly it feels like.  I wanted to be one of those cool homeschooling moms who lives in the middle of nowhere and has a farm, but my daughter has been asking me whenever we see a bus or a school playground when she can start school, so obviously that isn&#8217;t her plan, and I feel like I should respect that.  So we&#8217;re looking at parent-participation pre-schools.  And I don&#8217;t live in the middle of nowhere and I don&#8217;t have a farm, I have a teeny garden, but that&#8217;s beside the point.  We did pick a whole pile of February carrots and eat them for lunch on wednesday though.  And we watched bugs.

(We&#8217;re working on some paper-pulp play pizzas, (that&#8217;s what&#8217;s in the oven baking behind Rebecca) but those are going to be Rebecca&#8217;s mess in the end, not mine.)  Someone linked to <a href=\"http:\/\/flossieteacakes.blogspot.com\/2008\/02\/peppermint-hearts-recipe.html\">flossie teacakes peppermint hearts recipe<\/a> which is great.  Rebecca mixed the whole thing up.  The &#8216;medium sized mound&#8217; of powdered sugar turns out to be about half of one of those ubiquitous boxes.  And we added way too much peppermint essence, about half a teaspoon.  That made them awesome like Altoids.  My addition, you need to dip these in dark chocolate.  Oooooooooooh yah.  Since they are solid sugar, the bitter-er the chocolate the better, I think.  Do they make chocolate dipped Altoids?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2545.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2545-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cutting Hearts\" title=\"Cutting Hearts\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-239\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2545-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2545.jpg 597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2553.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2553-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dipping Hearts\" title=\"Dipping Hearts\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-241\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2553-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_2553.jpg 597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t make anything last week.
