MESSY

Little Miss is SUCH a messy eater.

But at least she eats.

(unlike some other munchkins I know)

REMEMBER THIS?

 Remember this?

Our icky, moldy tub?

 .

.

.

Well, it has transformed.

It has been a couple of weeks..but hey, better late than never.

Right?

The toilet was also turned at the same time.

Daddy's helpers!

There is still more we want/need to do in there,

but its a big improvement. 

SPRING INTO SPRING

 Last Friday evening, we went to a "Spring into Spring" event at Fairview Lake..not what I expected it to be, but everyone had fun anyway.  Plus, the weather was so nice it was great to spend time as a family outdoors.

We started off inside with some snacks.

 Next there were some games/relay races on the field.

The kids didn't really get the concept of the relay...

we let them have their own turn (as you can see there was quite an age difference between our bunch and most of the other kids) after the bigger kids ran their relay, so as not to slow anyone down.

It was cute and they had a blast.

 

 Next we went to the fire pit and cooked some s'mores..

 Yummy!!

 After that we went to the stream to look for "critters."

The kids each got a net and had to scoop up some water and see if there were any interesting creatures in it..

It was getting pretty dark at that point.

 

Finally, we went back to where we started to make some windsocks..and use the potty.

I think we were the last ones to leave.

It was a nice time.

Now, today it is snowing pretty hard.

Lets hope Spring is here for the season soon!!

BETTER-THAN-BEEP BROWNIES

I made the brownies.

The recipe made it sound like these were just the BEST brownies ever--totally over the top.

Well, they were okay.

I expected better.

In fact, I liked the Layers of Love Brownies much better.

So there.

I also ended up making the apple cider donuts..

the donut part was good..we didn't like the glaze.   So I whipped up a cinnamon/sugar coating instead and it was soo much better.

Thats that.

FAMILY TRADITION

 My little biker-wannabe.

Too cute.

Hi, Everyone!

BATH

Somebody loves his bath!!

"I'M DONE!!!"

"I'm done!!" is about the only thing I've been hearing around here lately it seems. 

Rian is on day #2 of wearing underpants (during the day only). 

She is doing a great job!
