Glenn gave me notice that we were going to the pool Wednesday night with friends and I was bringing dessert. Flipping through the cookies and past the cupcakes in my dessert binder I came across these white chocolate raspberry cheesecake bars that Emry loves. Not the quickest dessert, but really delicious.
We like to pretend that Wednesdays are Fridays.
All the boys love handball. Is this a California thing?

My gorgeous friend Stephanie who gave birth a few weeks ago to a girl after 3 boys.
And that's a typical Wednesday night around these parts. My children spend half their life in the pool and they have the bleached, brittle, chlorinated hair to prove it.
Those bites for to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way Emry is looking at Stephanie in that photo. Such a look of wonder!
ReplyDeleteShe's wanting to get her hands on that baby, she loves holding babies.
DeleteGrowing up, I wish that we'd had more "Friday" Wednesdays than we did. It was always...study, study, study....go, go, go. Your kids are lucky!
ReplyDeleteAnd your sister is so pretty! I wish I had hair like you and all of your gorgeous siblings. :)
Well heck, I wish I had some awesome Wednesdays like that to look forward to! But my Thursday is going to involve pancakes, so maybe that makes up for it ;D
ReplyDeleteThis looks fun!!
ReplyDeleteAnd this dessert... Looks good! :)
Ah, I cant wait to get my boys in the pool when we head to my moms this summer. Looks like a great night to me!
ReplyDeleteDesserts like those are the kind I like OTHER people to bring to parties. ;o) They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of handball, and can't quite figure out how to play it from the picture. Going to have to go google this...
Hanging out at your place is where it's at!
ReplyDeleteYou like to pretend Wednesday is Friday. Don't we all! But, then, Thursday morning comes with all its weekday needs. heavy sigh
ReplyDeleteAh, I wish I had a pool so badly! Although here in England, it rains so much that we could practically swim to work. Love that your kids keep so active, looks like you have a lovely home for them :)
ReplyDeleteSee what happens when I leave for days without my kids...I get home and am totally out of it. I have to get back into the swing of things. Your last post was so fitting to my return home from your house. On the way home from the airport Kirk is telling me that there is some awful smell coming from upstairs, specifically the boys room. He says they stripped beds (so tons of the laundry to come home to) and have torn everything apart but nothing? I get home take one look in the boys room and see their full trash can. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Could it be? Of course. Nice Kirk. Isn't that funny that your post was about stinking? It was nasty, they had thrown an apple in it or something that molded. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThis post is awesome! Because those bars look great. I am making those. What a perfect treat for summer. We never went to the pool while I was there. That's okay, we've been to our pool everyday since I got home. Next week it's supposed to be cool again. I love that picture of Stephanie, so fitting, she has her girl, she is clearly in love. I think she's gorgeous too. I love you Marie. I can't believe I'm back home and without you one more time. I enjoyed being with you so much, just to be with you is so nice. I love your family and your home, it's so inviting. So thankful to be a part of it. Love to you always.

Well, that looks just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe cheesecake bars look gorgeous. I have bookmarked the recipe. The photos look so good. You all seem to have such a good time , ALL THE TIME. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI want to go swimming!!!! I got to go Monday and it's been raining the rest of the week...snarl.
ReplyDeleteCan I come live by you?!? I love how you always make time for fun..... and goodies! :) Happy Mother's Day!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, those bars look SO yummy- and pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of the swimming! It's still not really pool weather here yet, but I can't wait! I actually didn't swim once last year- which is awful! I need to convince Greg that we should put a pool in our backyard. It's perfectly flat!
Love that you can enjoy the outdoors all year long! Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe really do. Our state may be going bankrupt but the weather sure is nice:)
DeleteYou're Wednesdays look better than most of our Fridays! My girls would love to have sun bleached, chlorinated, brittle hair. I wish we had warm weather for them all year to enjoy the water. They really believe they are dolphins once they get wet! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh and those cheesecake bars made my mouth water!
those cheesecake bars!!! they look so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteand this all looks like so much fun!
xo TJ
Those bars look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to have pool kids...with the brittle, bleach blonde thing going on ;). I guess we'll see. My husband was one!
Cheers.
Oh can I relate to that chlorinated hair! As a child my hair was white. Growing up in FL meant it was often green. Yes, a lovely shade of Nickelodeon slime. Oh memories.
ReplyDelete1. Those bars look just phenomenal.
ReplyDelete2. What a sweet daughter for Stephanie! Blessings to her and her family!
3. I don't care if you call that Wednesday OR Friday. If that's what your evening looks like, I am absolutely there. :)
I want to hang out with you on Wed nights.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Stephanie on finally having a girl after so many boys. What a great time to have so many friends around on Wednesday night and to have such a delicious dessert to consume...lucky kids :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great Wednesday! My kids would be in the pool all the time if we had one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day it is. Kids are really unstoppable when it comes to the pool. They could just dip in there for the whole day. By the way, thanks for the recipe. It looks so delicious.
