Our days still involve water play outside. Here Rachel and Zane are washing their big wheels.
My little guy still likes to snuggle! He's not actually asleep. :) He's getting really big.
We were given free ads from the news paper and Zane and Rachel enjoyed looking at the Lowe's ad. Who needs a toy catalog? Not us!
Checking out the lawnmowers!
We have a big picture window in our kitchen dining area and when it rains, we raise the blinds to the top and have a "show." The kids love it and we do too.
A big storm happened while we were having our ice cream night on Saturday!
Everybody has a good seat watching God's show!
End of the storm and clear skies behind!
We played in Zane's room one day this week. They are busy bodies.
Playing night-night. Each snuggle session lasted about .5 seconds.
Didn't last long! But maybe someday they can camp like this!
And Daddy made a fort for the kids on Monday. It was a big hit for a little while!
And later that afternoon we went outside for some fun!
I didn't think my little sweetie minded the grass barefoot...she didn't the other day, but here she is refusing to put her feet down! She held herself up like that for a long time!
Oh, that's much better.
:)
Then we moved the concrete to play in the hose! They sure squeal and love it!
Washing hands and it was bright...I had asked them to smile.
Soaked!
I made Jeff one of his favorite pies today. I was happy to do it, but with little helpers, it takes awhile! I finally let Zane play in the leftover flour and Rachel got in on the action by playing with the flour that Zane had dropped!
Lemon Chess!
And finally, here is tonight with Daddy playing "night night!"
I took lots of pictures of Zane swinging on Saturday. And in the videos I keep saying how big his smile is...because it really was! He's been sick for several weeks and it was nice to see him smile so big. Thanks, Dada, for making a swing for the kids! It's nice to see him enjoying it.
I think these pumpkin blooms are just so pretty. They sure don't last long.
Zane's plants are looking pretty scrawny, but they are trying to bloom!
Eyeing a slug. I told him he could pick it up if he wanted to and he wanted me to! Ummm, okay. I didn't exactly, but I let it crawl over my finger. Maybe that counted to him? I hope so.
Unbelievable! Another plant came up after recent rains!
Today we are deviating from our regular pictures of cute kids because well, sometimes you just have to laugh and make fun of your own mistakes. Yesterday Jeff was too kind and offered to take the kids outside while I cooked supper in peace and quiet. I took him up on his offer because I was going to try once again to make homemade tortillas. You know, shave a little bit more off the ol' grocery bill. I've tried them before, and they've not turned out, but hey, I'm not a quitter, so I decided I would try again and this time they would be perfect! All the pictures on pinterest show lovely tortillas that are just a breeze to make. Yeah, you can see where this is going.
An hour and a half later I served supper, pretty much exhausted, okay not really, but it took so long- with the kitchen looking like a flour hurricane went through it. It smelled like burnt flour and still had raw dough stuck to wax paper that refused to come off. A disaster!!! I hold all tortilla makers in high regard now because I am throwing in the towel! Tortilla making is not for me. Oh and since some of them turned out a little towards the end, I decided I would have one with butter and honey before bed. So I heated it up but by the time I put my butter and honey on it, it was like trying to chew hard...something not quite as tough as leather. :)
The "Peekaboo, I see through you," tortilla.
The "What shape is this?," tortilla.
The "I give up on you," tortilla.
And finally, the "I'm trying to be like Oklahoma", tortilla.
There you have it! Baking Bloopers, episode 1! We will be back to our regularly scheduled blog posting of cute kids soon!
