In celebration of International Dance Day I put some music on this morning so we could all dance... You know what happened... "NOOO! Don't dance! This is MY job!!" said Jeffrey. So our fun day full of dance parties was not very fun. Jack and I still danced as much as we wanted but it…
In honor of Great Poetry Reading Day I read Shel Silverstein poems to the boys as well as wrote some simple Haikus to go along with what we were doing. We started the morning with a pancake breakfast and had such a nice time eating and reading stories at the table (sorry for the lack…
Today I needed to ship off my banner orders so I spent the morning playing catch up while my boys played together. After lunch, when we finally made it out of the house, I told Jeffrey the story of his day as we were driving. I told him of a boy named Jeffrey who was…
Following church, a walk (a bike ride for Jeffrey), watering the apple trees and digging up dandelions with daddy (Jeffrey loves these duties) we finally were ready for Pretzel Day! First we got our mixing bowl out...and the whisk of course... He whisked the yeast and water... Added the ingredients and then we kneaded the dough (in the…
After a relaxed morning with MeMa we packed up and headed to a local Kite Festival to meet my cousin and her daughter. Sadly the weather was not good! Very overcast and rainy with only off and on wind. Here we are running trying to get our kites high enough to stay up for the kiddos.…
Friday I spent the morning fulfilling some banner orders while the boys played with daddy. He was leaving on an overnight Boy Scouts trip with my brother so I figured I better get some work done while I had the chance. As soon as Daddy left for his trip we started preparing for a never-before-tried Biscuit…
It was a cloudy and cold day so we celebrated National Picnic Day... indoors! First Jeffrey made us egg salad sandwiches... Shelled some eggs... Sliced and diced them... Mixed it... Put the sandwiches together... We bagged up some chips, roasted broccoli (we can do this because we are at home!) and packed up our food. Here…
The boys had some crazy early waking hours this morning so besides a few meltdowns we managed to have lots of fun appreciating the Earth! We started our day at a local library story time for toddlers... celebrating Earth Day too... they focused on the wind and the clouds. The kids did a neat little craft using shaving cream…
I wanted a quick meal for this evening because Caleb wouldn't be eating with us so I whipped up a One Pan Chicken Alfredo based off my Lemon Chicken Pasta Alfredo recipe. So easy and it took only 20 minutes from start to finish! One Pan Chicken Pasta Lemon Alfredo Serves 4 8 ounces Pasta 6-8 ounces chicken (I used Costco…
Today was a celebration of one of my favorite nuts - Cashews! Caleb doesn't really care for them so it was a special day for me... haha! I tried a new recipe and whipped up some Clodhopper Inspired Cashew Clusters. Caleb came home early (and surprised me with a latte - aww!). While the clusters hardened we went on a…
