At Market on Saturday, we bought purple potatoes. They were on special and the lady said they were just like regular potatoes. We were like George (i.e. very curious) and bought some. We discussed what to do with them, fries? mash? bake?, when Jillian piped up and said she wanted to make "thanksgiving potatoes" with them. So we peeled, boiled (they turned the water a bluey-purple!) and mashed them. They came out a pretty lavender color. Mommy and Daddy can't remember eating something this color and not having it taste like a grape! The kids thought it was so cool and ate them all up.
And here's a bit of Jillian art work. Its a painting from her new easel.
You can probably make out her, a flower, the sun... But what is the red and yellow thing?
Why, that's a geocache she found under the flower, of course!
(Mommy and Daddy aren't the only ones obsessed it seems.)

Fun! Last spring our produce delivery was obsessed with purple things. Carrots, radishes, potatoes, etc. My boys were bummed when they weren't grape flavored! :)
