A Green Smoothie and the Curative Properties of Watermelon

Todd and I headed out to the garden this morning . . .


. . . to harvest a little bouquet of kale . . .


. . . to put in a smoothie.


Mmm, yummy green goodness.


As I snapped a picture of Todd sipping our smoothie, I happened to notice in the background . . .


. . . a comic book Anna brought home from kindergarten this week.  It's about a girl named Clarissa who eats more than one cupcake at her birthday party and transforms into the nefarious villain Princess Cupcake, who pressures her guests to gorge on sweets.  Fortunately for all involved, Clarissa's friend turns her back into a human by convincing her to eat some healthy watermelon.  (Brought to you by the National Watermelon Promotion Board).  I guess that's yet another good reason to indulge in green smoothies instead of sugary baked goods--the smoothies won't turn your head into a cupcake.
